One of the first things one of my players noted was Rogues now not getting their second sub-class feature until 9th Level (as in 5.14). Other classes get their second feature on 6th or 7th level. As a DM, I was a fan of all classes getting their features at the same time. I suspect the change was so they wouldn't have to provide Appendix B - Subclass Conversions for subclasses not spelled out in the main body of the 5.24 PHB - but I think it ill-serves rogue players.
To be honest it always felt bad gettinga second subclass ability that late. Unless they are to front load the first ability as something that scales with level.

"I have found the answer to the meaning of life. You ask me what the answer is? You already know what the answer to life is. You fear it more than the strike of a viper, the ravages of disease, the ire of a lover. The answer is always death. But death is a gentle mistress with a sweet embrace, and you owe her a debt of restitution. Life is not a gift, it is a loan."
I feel it is the right thing to do, if one class has issues with B/C so be it.

I liked the way they were doing it before Playtest 6: everyone gets their subclass features at the same levels. I would like them to go back to that.
