This just makes me question your taste in fighters. The 3e fighter was a wonder of game-design elegance and flexibility, the sheer number of broad archetypes and detailed concepts you could emulate with it or by using it as part of a build was staggering. True, it had the misfortune of being in the same game with CoDzilla, meaning that virtually all of those innumerable, builds, from the elegant to the baroque to the sublime, were strictly inferior to the next guy's magically-buffed pet. But, that didn't detract from the fighter, in itself. Similarly, while the 4e fighter couldn't cover the same breadth of archetypes (archers are obliged to go Ranger, instead, for instance), it finally delivered on the fighter's long-time supposed role in being able to block for and protect allies /with it's native fighter features/ - and, also for the first time, it was reasonably balanced with other classes at all levels, not doing all the heavy lifting (npi) at 1st only to be reduced to magic-item platform (or caddy) later in the campaign.Likewise, for an RPG game, my benchmark test for it is the simple Fighter class. If they can't get that one right, then there is usually no point in going back for any of the others.
It's fun to discuss the specifics of that comparison, but what I was trying to say was this: I don't like the way the Fighter class feels in 5E so far. It feels too much like the 3E and 4E fighters, and not enough like the BECM and 2E ones that I prefer.
By comparison, the 2e fighter was little more than a buzzsaw, and the 1e fighter a mere axe. They were both good at dishing out damage and chopping down monsters that simply stood there to take it - and damn little else, based on their actual mechanics.
