Sorry you couldn't enjoy the subclass as much. I've played the BM Ranger and Champion as well, and I've had good experiences playing as them. It depends on your group but there has clearly been a shift in playstyle since 5e first came out. There's more variety to a table's playstyle from another table's as well. It's also possible you didn't have quite the correct idea of the subclass before playing it, which isn't unique to Ranger. I've thought a sorcerer was supposed to be the guy who studied magic and was versatile with it. Turned out that's the wizard. I've thought the cleric was a frail heal-bot that couldn't hold up against an arrow. Turns out that wasn't true. When I gained a grasp of what the beastmaster was, like I had to do with the other classes, I've done quite good in the game when I played it. I did play a hexcrawl, and it was one of the most fun I've had as a Ranger, which is why I strongly advocate for at least a point-crawl when running games rather than the episodic episodes where the wilderness is like a lovely stroll through the zoo.</blockquote>
