How has this game been in development for so long and a month before release they just throw out long established rules om D&D. This thing has been in beta for so long and now they changed how multiclassing works and how race/stats work. The way it worked in beta was fine, why break it now. At least please provide us with a D&D rule toggle. Hate these changes.
The stat changes especially. Goes against all established fantasy lore and plausibility.
The stat changes come right out of the table top.
Most people realize that pigeon holing entire races is a dumb idea.
Humans have had multiple apocalyptic level wizards it makes no sense that every gnome is an inherently better wizard than the greatest human wizards. Both Larien and Wotc have realized this.
Every gnome isn't inherently a better wizard than the greatest human wizard. But exceptionally great gnomish wizards have the potential to be greater wizards than exceptional humans, as long as various divine entities and over the top artifacts stay out of the picture. Which they usually don't. Likewise, every half-orc isn't going to be stronger than every halfling, but an exceptionally strong half-orc is reasonably going to be stronger than an exceptionally strong halfling. How is that remotely controversial?
Also, I seem to remember that Tasha's stat change rule was optional. And all it does is let people power game while pretending to RP, even though that power gaming has absolutely nothing to do with RP. To elaborate, please do try to make a non-silly explanation of why your paladin needs a dip (not a full conversion, just a dip) into hexblade. If you're remotely honest with yourself, you know it is total nonsense. Your DM knows it. The people you're playing with know it. And you getting to do that just because it is powerful and meta sets a bad example for everyone.
Likewise when you want your exceptionally strong halfling to be just as strong as an exceptionally strong half-orc. It is not good role-play. And your reason for wanting it is terrible. You don't have any real justification for how it makes sense, you just really want a bigger stat bonus for your class so you can power game better.
