But there was no guidance required when you freely chose your race and class, and you chose that race knowing about its set bonuses.There is evidence: the statement that from now on new races won't get set bonuses. The main problem would be if they failed to give set bonuses, which is the strong implication.They could continue to give new races set bonuses, while reminding us that the Tasha's OPTION may apply; consult your DM.I haven't seen the Loxodon, but from the brief descriptions in this thread it seems either badly designed or that for game balance they could only give Loxodons so many bonuses and that this races is even more famous for....whatever bonuses they were given.The purpose of creature statblocks is to help the DM set challenging encounters, not to supply a back-door way to make PCs. The lizardman stats you supplied are consistent with a lizardman warrior who put most points in Str, while still applying the racial modifiers for lizardmen.</blockquote>
