Not that there aren't people that enjoy the updates or older versions of the Ranger (in my experience, often younger/newer players).I once had someone online try to convince me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with how the 2014 Ranger was designed and that if it was unbalanced at all, it was because it was too good/powerful, and that the Class Feature Variants for the Ranger in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything were "contaminating" the pure awesomeness of the PHB's version of the class. And that person had that opinion because they played a PHB Ranger in a campaign where the DM told them ahead of time exactly which terrains the campaign would take place in for the entirety of the campaign and he railroaded the campaign so much that the players never got an option to go to any terrains other than the ones that the Ranger had chosen as their Favored Terrain (the DM also told them exactly what enemies they would be fighting so the player could use Favored Enemy for the majority of enemies in the campaign). There are devout fans of every version of the Ranger. The old version (strangely) has some, the Revised Ranger UA has some, the TCoE version has some, and I'm sure the newer version will have some. What WotC is failing to do "every time" is please everyone. Because people won't agree on what the Ranger is supposed to be.</blockquote>
