I’d go so far as to say it’s  a DM bending the world to make your pc effective in spite of their weak subclass. The first round of combat is not so important that you can just have a subclass that goes away after that round, even if the PC fails to hit in that round or fails to get surprise. (And seriously, again, if you’re always getting surprise, the DM is catering to your PC to a degree that proves that the subclass is weaker than ones that don’t require such special treatment.</blockquote>
