I think I finally grok what I see as the underlying trend with those who still demand a warlord in 5e. Perception. Or maybe its just unreasonable expectations?
Because I see warlords everywhere. Battlemasters. Masterminds. Purple Dragon Knights. Heck, the Soldier background. Even EN5ider's Noble. Just to name the biggest elephants in the room. Not to mention the variations of a warlord class popping up across DM's Guild as we speak.
Maybe that's why the number of people in these threads are such a tiny minority (and steadily shrinking). And not just a minority of D&D players as a whole, but even of strictly forum goers. As I see it, that the bulk of players who liked 4e warlords (and the 3.5 marshal), can already see the multitudes of options, and are happily playing the various 5e equivalents available to them. And thus they have no need to come here looking for something that's never going to be (a kitchen-sink of options, or plain direct port-over of 4e warlord). Because perception. They see it. They get it. And they are doing their thing.
<shrug> That's my take-away, anyhow. Before replying, I strongly recommend rereading paragraph #2 above. If you don't see warlords in 5e, its simply a lack of vision, AFAIC.
