Yeah, this is someone in my group - I do some meta shit but branched off to do fun stupid things I like.
Big numbers are fun but it’s not fun when your replacement character has every counter and spell for what we normally deal with, is the only high int character when we were originally all low int. Now add to that half of every session is pointless NPC RP you set up with the DM to reveal your pointless backstory that you clearly spent way too much time on.
I think I hate DND I just want adventure and to kill some goblins and stuff. The story is in the adventure and choices you make, not your 20 page backstory and critical role wannabe voice acting.
Im sorry you have that experience. I don’t think anyone has ever said Ranger is meta in 5e though. In my case the investigation thing fills a sorely needed role in the party.
One of the reasons I replaced my previous character was that the old one was too prominent.0p
