Haven't seen the debate, but you're obviously wrong: the Warlord's cheerleader of the group, although that might be my favourtism towards lazylords showing
One of my goals was indeed to make sure the "Lazyord" was represented, specifically in the Strategist subclass. I also wanted to make sure the other archetypes were there too, though. It's specifically the diversity of the Warlord concept that makes me (and many others) want to see it as a full class.
I tried to make sure that not all of their abilities were based on "giving orders," or necessarily being the leader of the party. The different subclasses represent different styles of commad; the Marshal is a gritty hands-on leader who inspires his (or her) allies by being right there on the frontlines with them, risking the same dangers and facing the same challenges with confidence and skill.
The Strategist is a more cerebral chessmaster type, the LazyLord, who prefers to let his allies do the fighting. At best, she's the "Cheerleader" or "Team Mom" who watches over everyone and makes sure they do their best. At worst, he's a ruthless schemer who lets others do his dirty work while he stays relatively safe from the back of the line.
The General is like a mix of the two, with a bit of "Pet class" tossed in, except the pets are humanoids. This one is mostly just an experiment, honestly...
