And well if you have been DMing for 20 years you should know that "Timmy-the Power Gamer Munchkin" player type. That is pretty much what you see in these forums and on Steam all the time. People spreadsheeting their way to easy wins on mid tier difficulty and then moving on to the next hotness for the achievements or YT/Twitch views.

Well I would agree that they should implement minimum stats for multiclassing.

Thats (PHB pg 163):

Barbarian - Strength 13
Bard - Charisma 13
Cleric - Wisdom 13
Druid - Wisdom 13
Fighter - Strength 13 or Dexterity 13
Monk - Dexterity 13, Wisdom 13
Paladin - Strength 13, Charisma 13
Ranger - Dexterity 13, Wisdom 13
Rogue - Dexterity 13
Sorcerer - Charisma 13
Warlock - Charisma 13
Wizard - Intelligence 13

I wouldnt call it a huge difference though. Its a bit of a difference. You get rid of some of the excesses.
