It's too many rules written with too much haste and no testing. You end up with a ton of rules that aren't clear and contradict each other constantly. It's honestly a shit system. New players really should be told to play Pathfinder 2e at this point, not D&D5e. If the company being complete shit wasn't enough of a reason, the rules making a lot more sense should be.

It's unfortunate that DND 5e is the sole mega popular game.

People who want fantasy tactical combat would probably do well with Pathfinder 2e. But people who just want to tell a fun story would probably have a lot more fun with something lighter, like Fate.

There's so many games out there and most don't get the love they deserve
