[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7295499, member: 6779196"] “The classes all play the same” is not a statement of preference. If you don’t like the uniformity of the AEDU power structure in pre-Essentials 4e, that’s fine, but it’s not accurate to say all classes played the same. That’s not saying “I don’t like the texture of avocados”, that’s saying “I don’t like avocados because their texture is so rough.” Not liking the texture is fine, but it is inaccurate to claim that they have a rough texture. Each class in 4e did play differently; they had different lists of powers to choose from just like 5e spellcasters have different spell lists, and what those powers did had a huge effect on how the class functioned and what role it played both in and out of combat. Of course, many people still didn’t like the way the 4e classes played, and that’s fine, it’s claiming that they all played the same that is inaccurate. And it’s incredibly frustrating when the reason someone cites for disliking something you like isn’t true of that thing. I don’t mind that you don’t like avocados because of their texture, but if you say you don’t like their texture because it’s too rough, I’m going to be confused since they’re definitely smooth.
