ELI5 What is wrong with SMN?

[Clover210]

I saw that list, but 4 of them are basically complaints that SMN 4.0 doesn't play like SMN 2.0 anymore (DoT class), and doesn't fit your class-fantasy ideal of a summoner (Not a 'real' pet class), while #6 is really a matter of personal opinion.

As I say I disliked SMN 2.0, enjoy SMN 4.0 (even with all it's builder phases), and never played SMN 3.0.

Then you should just play what you like. If you enjoy playing SMN in its current state then keep playing it to your heart's content. Just one thing though

Don't expect to have a place in my party finder :^)
