My only real gripe about SMN is losing Titan-Egi as a genuine Tank type. That's making me work too much in open-world hunting
It's totally okay to like the new SMN, but I just can't accept it for the various design flaws it has now. I got used to playing it and it's not as bad as I thought, and it's not as bad as people make it out to be, but playing it still causes a lot of frustration and has a lot of meaningless effort involved which is yes, a feeling a lot of players share.

For reference I've been a SMN since ARR, loved HW and 4.1 SB SMN and I think 5.0 is the worst one.
