D&D 5E What class do you think people argue about the most?

[James Gasik]

Just expanding on a side discussion in the "what I hate about 5e" thread. If you encounter an argument about a character class, which one is it? I'm allowing multiple votes in case you feel it's a tie, or really close (I'm pretty sure it's either Monk or Fighter, but Wizards come up a lot too).

 

[Stormonu]

Monks - so many “they don’t belong in the game” and “they suck and need to be fixed”.

probably beat out bards in that regard.

Fighters, rangers and monks. Plus maybe a few friendly jabs at the bard.

The classes I usually see being argued over and the subject of discussion for each.
Fighters:heroic or mundane, not enough if any noncombat capacities, too many expectations not enough design space.
Wizards:too overpowered! Nerf plz!
Monks:just generally underwhelming in execution.
Honourable mentions go to:
Rangers: too many features that are possible to never interact with because of the specifics of your game, should it be nonmagic as standard? Also too many expectations not enough design space.
Sorcerers:why does it exist when wizard and warlock exists and are better/more unique, the alpha test version was better.

Fighters, especially fighters vis a vis wizards.

Warlocks a lot IME get argued/debated about.

A simpler poll might be which classes DON'T get argued over or debated about...

 

[Leatherhead]

Monks are the most argued about. In the sense that people are actually arguing if they are bad or if stunning strike makes the class totally overpowered.

Sorcerers and Wizards are the most complained about.

 

[Ancalagon]

"which class is best/worst" - that's the argument right there

Maybe? But we were discussing Monks and I noted that people have been arguing for and against Monks for a very long time, and the arguments sometimes seemed even more intense than even Fighter debates. So I figured I'd find out for sure, which class gets more, ah, "love".
