During my discussion of the 5e playtest materials, I wrote a bit about the "feat tax" in 4e -- the tendency of the rules to steer players toward choosing particular feats (or other features) just so their characters could keep up with rapidly scaling enemies. The Expertise feats (granting +1 to hit) were the worst of many offenders.
When it comes to feat taxes, just call me Grover Norquist. (Warning! Political humor!) In 4e, feats were among my strongest criticisms of that (generally) solid incarnation of D&D. However, I'm happy to report that the feat taxes have been repealed! Follow this link for all the good news.
