Citation needed. I don't see a lot of complaints about fighters.

We're in a thread complaining about fighters.
If that's your take on rage I don't think you are playing barbarians enough. Resistance makes barbarians a tanking god, I have routinely seen barbarian players throw themselves into the pits of hell and survive things they had no business surviving. I am continuously surprised at how bad the barb might look on paper, but in play are one of the best classes, I have never had a player play one and been disappointed.
The trick with the barb is that rage doesn't really improve their offense like it did back in the day, that is what reckless attack is for. Advantage on any attack you wants means you crit often, and hit even more so.
We are in one thread complaining about fighters. I can find dozens of threads about monks.

And pretty much all of them can be solved with either 'add a reasonable amount of Ki or 'subclass where you get to draw rabbits and snails beating on knights'.

Google "the problem with fighters 5e" and you'll get plenty of sources from all over the internet. I've only gotten back into things in the last few months, so most of them don't even have me in them.

We should have both.
Some people like to play a weed wacker. And we should have a class for them to play.
Champion is the most popular sub-class.
Having 3 different colors of weed wackers is not needed though.
Fighter- simple
Barbarian- moderate
Monk- complex

Mostly because they are driven down the throat of every new player because we, as a gaming culture hate new players.

How about:
Wizard - Simple
Monk, Barbarian - Moderate
Fighter - Complex
Because, again, real combat is quite complex.

Do you have any data on that?
Are you sure it's not because people chose to play a simpler class?
