I really dislike how optimization has to first create a very narrow set of parameters to do calculations, and then makes definitive statements that people will take as gospel.These dozens of videos will just make people believe that this is the right way to play D&D more and more, which reminds me of the video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKP1I7IocYU" target="_blank">"Why It Is Rude To Suck At Warcraft" by Folding Ideas</a>. At some point only engaging with a game in a certain way signals to people that it is the right way to play.I am currently testing 2024 D&D in the short Sunless Citadel adventure. One of the players is very active on Treantmonk's discord and he just... Doesn't role play? The only way he engages with the game is through combat and optimized behavior. It's fine, since the adventure will only last a couple more sessions, but it is fascinating to me. In short: Ranger looks fine. Don't worry too much about numbers.</blockquote>
