Based on what I've seen from the people who attended the latest panel from hell it is very clear that there is now no reason to play humans at all. There is nothing humans get that literally every other race can do better when humans historically were the only race in all of Toril that could handle every class because humans were the most diverse and flexible race of them all.
Now, they are just a costume.
Based on Fextralife's content we know that humans get the same +2 +1 that every other race gets and their racial bonuses are:
1. Proficiency in light armor
2. Proficiency with polearms
3. Carrying Capacity +20.
........
That is it.
+20 to carrying capacity does not compare with rerolling 1's with halfings, having dark vision and advantage on saving throws against magic effects like gnomes, humans don't get the same amount of weapon and armor proficiencies of a githyanki so that doesn't compare, they don't have anything that matches the +1 hp per every level that dwarfs get, let alone innate spellcasting that some races get like tieflings or drow.
Might as well pull humans from the game altogether with how little they get.
The whole +2 +1 for EVERY race no matter which race or attribute means that humans ultimately get nothing of value.
Compared to what other races get humans, which already were at the bottom of the races in terms of what they get may as well not exist because their greatest strength (their diversity of skills and abilities) is now shared by all other races.
These changes overall just are disappointing.
