The biggest reason I do not play really Alpha (have played before) not even interested to try level 5 (besides other games and limited free time) is that while I can now create a Paladin I know that I will not use the buypoint system when released. I am power gamer and proud of it not shamed at all. That does not mean I must do the ultimate build or min max perfect but enough so hardest challenge levels are doable with exception not interested in any Iron man mode. Iron man means that you have only saves slot and if you die it save you are dead game over at least if all characters if any survive I guess rise dead might be possible.
As comparison I play Solasta on Cataclysm hardest challenge level and have rolled stats to Kingdom Come.
Well and I only laugh at notion to roll once attributes and keep the rolls unless you are happy with the first roll.
Now discussing what stats to dump even if rolled stats realistically there are some stats to dump. I would say classically INT is biggest dumb stat unless you are say Wizard when it is one of the most important stats. In DND 5.0 (not so earlier Dungeons Dragons rules example DND 3.5 and I guess Pathfinder) the INT stats does not affect how many skill points you get.
Charisma is a dump stat unless you need it example Sorcerer or Paladin. As for social interaction it is good if a party has at least one character with high charisma, but that does not need mean every character needs high charisma.
Wisdom is seldom needed high unless Cleric, but I would not recommend put a negative value on Wisdom modifier example less then 10 because you will suck on some saving rolls. Well exception perhaps if buypoint build then I would understand Wisdom 8. Con as dump stat? No I think that is not smart at all. You could argue that with buypoint system you do not need high con but decent at least is good idea. If your roll and consider CON as dump stat that is really one of the worst tactics.
Ha! Brennan Lee Mulligan said it best - "All Adventures are Hot, Strong, and Dumb and that explains a lot of how players behave"
