Pretty much none of the balancing changes that Larian made helped the game (exception being the ranger). I really wish they would stick closer to the 5e combat and balancing because these changes lead to requests like this. Advantage/Disadvantage cantrips are too underpowered suddenly because you get advantage/disadvantage far too easily as it is in the game. But breaking more systems to balance out other broken things is not the way to go, especially when you had a far more solid system to begin with before you started tweaking it with extremely short sighted changes.
This, exactly.
The exact opposite of this. I think that most of Larian's changes DO help the game. They might not help it for fanatical 5e rules purists who somehow believe that 5e is the One System To Rule Them All and that it can do no wrong, but they help it for the much larger number of regular folks who know nothing about D&D and just want a video game that feels good to play.
