[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8552140, member: 86653"] Depends on the person. 4E fans are upset that 5E replaced their favorite version. Old-School fans are upset that 5E isn't old-school enough. Optimizers are upset that 5E isn't broken enough. Fans of casters are upset that casters are slightly less OP than prior, non-4E editions. Martial fans are upset that casters are wildly OP compared to martials. Fans of hex crawls, dungeon crawls, point crawls, and sandboxing are upset that 5E doesn't provide support for those styles of play, or in some cases actively undermines those styles of play. Fans of the theater of the mind style play are upset that it doesn't support their preferred style of play. Fans of heavy tactical combat are upset that 5E doesn't provide enough heavy tactical combat options. Fans of rules-light games are upset that 5E isn't light enough. Fans of rules-heavy games are upset that 5E isn't heavy enough. Most people who have played D&D for longer than the current edition seem to roughly be in agreement (as much as any herd of cats can be) that 5E is the second-best edition of D&D. It's not the best at any one aspect of D&D, but it's second best at most of them. [/QUOTE]
