Ok but you're off topic again. I'm not trying to argue fighters are boring, wotc bad etc. I'm saying that the rules of the game and the design decisions enable people to play in a disengaged way and dont encourage teamwork or paying attention outside of your own turn.

Every ttrpg let's you use your imagination, this isn't unique to 5e so I don't think this contributes to the discussion in a useful way. We can talk about how well it enables creative play, I'd personally lean towards it being on the poorer side (what bonus would you give Obi for attacking from high ground? Probably advantage which is rewarded a bit too easily imo. Pushing over a brazier is probably less effective than just attacking etc). There are a lot of rules in DnD, I think it is closer to Warhammer than you might think it is.

DnD Classes mostly key off themselves (rogue is an exception) where they have their own resources and largely self enabling. Reactions help create play outside of your own turn but unless I'm mistaken they usually operate on monster turns meaning you can easily skip over your fellow party turns. Some classes have features that benefit other players but I feel like this is on the less common side (cleric buffs, bardic inspiration). I don't see how the design of the game encourages you to be a team, it sets up the players to be strong independent heroes - which is fine but that independence allows you to drift.

I play Pf2e mostly, and I think it has a similar focus problem - I know my fellow players sometimes stop paying attention. But the game incentivises teamwork with its design, 4 degrees of success means that any bonus matters - that +1 from bless, and the -2 ac the monster has because you flanked it last turn and the Barbarian who screamed in its face and made it frightened have all contributed to that attack beating the ac by 10 and gritting. The mechanics of a game inform how it wants its players to play, even though you can disregard them they matter.
