The outrage for removing positionals on monk was pretty huge too.... but they're still not restored.

The original statement, as I read it, had nothing to do with button bloat, but to even out samurai damage across multiple runs. Where previously the damage differential if you did or did not get a crit could make a massive difference, now it won't. It's still a weak reason since I'd sure love my Phantom Rush to be a gaurenteed critical hit to even out my damage, but that's the reason they gave.

Heck, this isn't even the first contraversial change to just samurai. I dropped it and haven't looked back when they removed hagakure and forced samurai to do more iajutsu.
