If it was that popular WoTC would have put it in. You could boycott WoTC over it but by all accounts 5E has been a smash hit especially when compared with 4E. The other classes have been in 3 editions of D&D, the Warlord only one and it has never really been able to win a popularity contest in most polls.  Mearls indicated the Valor Bard and Battlemaster fighter represent the warlord. Even Tweet has outright said a disaster happened and the Warlrod is the poster child of that disaster as it is associated with the hard coded aspects of 4E. I'm not opposed to the class existing but thread crapping numerous forums about it won't change WotC minds. Boycott 5E if you liked, worked to sink the last edition. If there are enough people who care we'll have a warlord very soon right? The Warlord is a lightning rod that's all it is. Even the risk of it driving away more people than what it would appeal seems to have panned out. Complaining about it 2 years ago during the playtest didn't change their minds, doing so now won't either. You might get one one day but its not in the PHB and I doubt it will be legal for AL. I have classes from other editions I would like to see updated, not that hurt if they don't get them right now.</blockquote>
