Not really WotC has plenty references personally I am all for it and every group inhave been in chooses one as it assists in role playing. But here's isna great article about alighnment in 5e

Anyway, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and mine is throughly f—- alignment. My group sees it as a crutch more than an aid to role playing, and we are happy to play without it.
