Conversely Warlocks of all types have a lot going on with them (they each have 2 subclasses as well as pick and choose abilities in invocations).In my experience new players often have difficulty with Rogues as a lot of their potential comes from interacting with their environment. This will all depend on what kind of games you're used to. Video game players will be used to having options mapped out and then pressing those buttons to perform actions. 5e has returned to a style of game where you can just say an approach to a situation without needing an actual ability to do that. The open nature of the game can make Rogue characters tough for some if they aren't used to tabletop RPGs (or only played certain ones like 3e)</blockquote>
