What drives a poor reputation for the Rogue class?

I mean if we're talking about making changes to the rogue I'd probably gut sneak attack all together as anything other than a nice little bonus based on what the enemy does rather than what you do. Cut the damage in half and only factor that it triggers 50% of the time and make it apply if you hit a Target that has not moved that round like a reverse booming blade.

Id knock reliable talents all the way down and make it scale with levels so it comes a line sooner to a lesser degree but also gets much more potent past level 11.

As for the rest of the filler damage it doesn't really matter how it's done and it's relatively easy to add damage. I probably give a short rest based resource that's applied depending on which cutting action option is used and add a specific option per subclass.
