[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7002784, member: 6677017"] It's definitely a balancing act! I think what they are (and should be doing) is going for a balance between majority of choosy DMs and what most interests the general player base. For instance, polls (5e and before) apparently continue to rank fighter as the #1 favorite class, despite the fact that there are online arguments all the time about fighter not being satisfying for this or that usage/reason/aesthetic. So WotC can and should look at those arguments, extract useful stuff from them, and see if there is something they can do to make fighter options that are more satisfying for those who are dissatisfied. But what they should not do is to totally change the class in such a way as to focus on one particular element (whether making it complex, more tactical, inherently magical, comes with a BFS, etc) and risk turning off the masses of players who love their fighters.
