Whereas I'm the reverse. The most recent 5.5e stuff we've seen is actually quite good, and creates a fun, flexible structure for building what you want out of a class. The Playtest...4(? 5?) Warlock was absolute trash, a straight-up massive nerf (seriously, they took away Mystic Arcana and made...
I mean, yes? I was even originally saying what I said because I was pointing out that Boomers get unfairly blamed for a bunch of stuff Gen Xers are generally responsible for, and I've already said (repeatedly) that the boundaries between generations are fuzzy and artificial.
