You found one example. I'm not disparaging people. Look at you, @Oofta, and other commenters in this thread, your language, and how you discuss the topic at hand. You all focus on one person, or you focus on one sentence in a essay of a post, and ignore everything else and misrepresent the arguments at hand.And then there is this bit where they are invoking 'people' not liking it. So responding by saying that no, actually, people by and large do like it is a reasonable thing to do. The poster doesn't like it which is a far cry from people not liking it in general.
The point is that the game works. It isn't a mess. Most people like it. Labelling them as 'casuals' doesn't make their experiences or opinions less valid.
Does 5e make for a good tactical strategy combat game? No, but then I would argue that no TTRPG does. For people who want this experience and to not be 'casuals' (whatever that means, the only people playing it professionally would probably be labelled as 'casuals' here) I submit that a competitive dedicated strategy game is a better experience for you.
Round pegs and square holes.
tl;dr - stop disparaging people for having a different opinion than you. You don't have special insight that has allowed you to discover that no in fact the game actually does suck and it is everyone else who is wrong.
Not to mention that at no point did I say I have special insight or anything else. The next time you attack my character or put words in my mouth, I will be reporting you. I am not here to play the same passive aggressive game some of you want to play. I only want to discuss the topics at hand without being told to play another game.
