I hate rolling for stats. In a pen-and-paper campaign, it's just a bad way to do things. One person's character is gonna be much better than someone else's just because of stupid luck at character creation. In a video game, everyone's just gonna re-roll until they get a bunch of good rolls, so all that means is that every PC is always overpowered with ridiculous stats. Rolled stats are basically just cheating, to me. Point buy is fair, flexible, and puts every character on the same level.
I tend to agree with this. The few times I've rolled I've only ever done really badly or really middling. One game was especially rough because I had a dedicated archer ranger with a focus on stealth and my friend was a DEX fighter dual wielder, and someone else made a rogue, rolled insanely well, and was a better archer than my ranger and better dual wielder than the fighter while having higher AC, more proficiencies + expertise, significantly better stealth, and was even almost as good a face as our bard.
It was... Not great.
It makes less sense to me for a single player game because 100% people are mostly gonna re-roll until they have the stats they want. Seems you could get the same result with point buy and just remove the 15 cap and give something like 40-50 points to spend.
But lots of people want it so I don't sit here and try to deny it to them. It just makes no sense to me.
