They aren't really intended to be build defining unless you want them to be. Subclass choice is meant to be the main choice.2) I think you are over-focusing on the fighter class. If you look at other classes, most of them get abilities that amount to little more than fluff.3) Feats are intended to be used in conjunction with fighting styles, rather than an either/or. That's why fighters get more. If you want to play a fighter very focused on dual wielding, you would take the fighting style and Dual Wielder. Then maybe Defensive Duelist, and so on to further focus your character. You can find feats that support and supplement every fighting style. Or you can play a fighter who doesn't specialise in a particular fighting style.4) Don't worry about banning multiclassing. This isn't 3rd edition. A multiclassed character in 5e is going to be significantly weaker than a single classed character (exception: Hexblade Warlock with Paladin or Bard).5) On the whole 5e is well balanced and fighters perform just fine. As the proverb goes, "if it aint broke don't try and fix it".</blockquote>
