They've got their own issues, but they're winning on this point. If you say "x are trash because it's not meta", prepare to be swarmed by angry simps.

I don't get it, sorry. It's a different game with a different design goal, it's obvious that it goes in a different direction. I don't like 3.x, while I love 5e, but I don't go around telling 3.x people "your game is shit you should play it like this. Grapple check? Nha, just roll the dice.". I don't understand why people tries to make 5e into a whole different thing than it is. Maybe when 6e will come out it will be again a thick and grindy dungeon crawler, and I will decide if I'm interested or if I will continue playing my narrative focused games.

... because it's fun!
