If the character with a 50% accuracy deals 20 per hit and the character with the 75% chance of hitting is only doing 8 damage per hit, the player liable to be having less fun is the character with 75% accuracy.You are also assuming that the base expected chance of hitting for everyone is 50%. Currently the base expected chance of hitting seems to be 60% to 65%(87.75% with advantage) for Fighters, Wizards and Warlocks and 55%(79.75% with advantage) for everyone else. The Rogue is an oddball currently, it starts  advances to 60%(84% with advantage) at 5th level and seems to be designed to get advantage every other turn. And this does not take into account that some monsters can have ACs 2 to 3 points lower than the average and others can have higher than average ACs.And you just brought up one of the biggest problems of expected wealth by level: It makes bonuses no longer bonuses. That is not the fault of accuracy bonuses.It is less that +6 damage was not as disruptive and more that there were so many damage bonuses that the influence of magic item damage bonuses were drowned out by other bonuses. +6 isn't as noticeable when you are doing 6d6+24 before including the magic items damage bonus.</blockquote>
