What drives a poor reputation for the Rogue class?

[Skrum]

Bonus action overload, kinda low damage ceiling, fragile, poor combat presence, and bad scaling. Oh and no resources.

The core problem is they are a skill class in a game that didn't develope skills properly. They're fundamentally at odds with the system.

Still have some useful dips though. Cunning Action is a great ability - but like a lot of abilities in the game, it works a lot better on classes that aren't the class that gets the ability.
