If the enemy is in darkness, then people attacking them have the same chance to hit as they did before. The attacker can't see the target, so they get disadvantage, but the target cannot see the attacker, so the attacker gains advantage. These cancel out. Other rogues can still sneak attack when the enemy has an ally of the attacker next to them. This works because the rogue does not have disadvantage, as it was canceled by advantage.If your whole party has advantage before you drop the darkness ( fairie fire or something as an example ) then it may not be worth while for you to engage in melee, and you have plenty of ranged sneak attack options available as a rogue and can enjoy the party wide advantage source.</blockquote>
