D&D Weird Paladin feature buffs ENEMIES!? 😵

The Oathbreaker Paladin's Aura of Hate feature buffs certain types of enemies, and thus, ISN'T Player Character friendly. It falls into the trap of old Ranger's Favored Enemy design.
This requires more coordination between player and DM, or some level of metagaming from the players regarding the campaign type: if it's a campaign about fighting undead or fiend, like Curse of Strahd or Descent into Avernus, the player will have a HARD time!
NOT A GOOD DESIGN for a subclass feature!

Treantmonk also states that Aura of Hate is a huge trouble for PCs and Oathbreaker Paladin should multiclass away at level 6 to avoid that feature: https://youtu.be/_r-Ld-O8Okg?t=3863
RPGBOT gave Oathbreaker's Auraof Hate feature 4/4 star, but I think he missed considered the soul-crushing enemy buff of this feature from the fine wording. I still include his rating for transparency: https://rpgbot.net/dnd5/characters/classes/paladin/subclasses/
