D&D (2024) An idea on ASI's and varied Ancestries/Heritages

[UngainlyTitan]

The problem is the ASI's not the maxima. If I could go back in time to Mike Mearls et al. I would say make ASI's optional and Feats part of the core game.
Given the game we have then the Tasha approach is the best one but I would love if for the revised PHB WoTC took the course here are a bundle of elf, dwarf traits, pick 2 or so at character creation. These traits should be ribbons that do not give much mechanical advantage but make the elf elfier and the dwarf more dwarven and so forth.

Sadly too many players out there who will never, ever play something not optimized and WotC does not want to anger that custormer segment so races will get more and more streamlined until they are meaningless.
