Well stealth is supposed to be good... at times.

Right now "Disadvantage on stealth" from armor doesn't really come up. The enemy's sight cone needs to come over you for a check, so sound doesn't seem to play a part.

Further more being able to use Hide as a bonus action. This is what makes the hit and run tactic work, and why this change Larian made to combat mechanics in 5e not good.
Only Rogues are supposed to be allowed to hide as a bonus action...
