Variant Humans are a very powerful race. Out of 30 builds I have on D&D Beyond, 9 of them are V-Humans. But considering every 10 level build will have only 2 ASIs, it's the only way to get a 2 feat combo, and pump an ability 2 points. That is unless you go 6 levels of Fighter. Larian could fix this by giving all players a 1st level feat
. Just a pipe dream, I know.
Regular Humans do have their uses. I mean besides servants. They are good for multi-classing with point buy, when you have 2 different spellcasting abilities. You can get that 13 to qualify, and not cripple your other ability scores. But with no dark vision, poison resistant, racial magic, extra skill; they really do lag behind though.
