Newbie player doesn't know how to play DnD and keeps bashing the system

Hello all, I need clarification if I am overreacting on this. I am a veteran player that played a LOT of table top RPG's (only DnD™ 5e) and currently am in a lvl 6 table with a new player, let's call him John. The problem is, how doesn't know how ttrpgs works so far.

Last session he was complaining that his martial is boring to play and that his only option is to just attack and that Dnd™ 5e is a bad rpg system. I thought this was quite offensive against my favorite system, but I calmly told him to shut the fuck up and that no one's forcing him to attack every fucking turn. Like, doesn't understand by now that DnD™ 5e is a brilliantly designed system that lets you do LITERALLY anything???? (Well, you can't exchange your extra movement for a bonus action, but that's besides the point). Instead of asking for the DM for some chandeliers to swing on, he then continued to whine, replying that not attacking was "being useless and not helping the team", but I let that pass this time.

But here's when things started to get heated. On a dungeon fighting the first BBEG, I single-handedly ended the encounter in two turns with my homebrewed caster that consistently deals 60+ damage per round. Instead of thanking me, John started to cry again about "muh balance" saying that is not fair that I can "literally bend reality and the laws of physics" while his dumb martial can't. Like duuuuuuh you picked a martial in DnD™ 5e, only casters can do cool stuff!!!. Also, he shouldn't be blaming me for ~~breaking~~ optimizing when the DM is not doing his part with balancing the game, like adding 10 ~~boring~~ encounters per day like the DMG ingeniously suggests or fudging the enemies HP or making the enemies focusing solely me or giving every single enemy Legendary resistances. But no, he continued to complain and before rage quitting the discord group he said something about playing a system called "Wayfinder" or something (Idk I only play DnD™ 5e).

I know no DnD is better than bad DnD, but do you guys think I should I forgive this guy and invite him back to our table? How do you guys say?

No effects after almost two weeks of medication

This Thursday will make 2 weeks I am taking wellbutrin for ADHD. First week taking 150mg XL once a day, and now I am taking twice a day as prescribed by my doctor.

However I don't feel any improvement at all, should I contact my provider and inform him? I keep reading it makes effect on the 1-2 weeks, so this is a little disappointing

There is no jerk, just my pure hate for 5e

There is no jerk. Don't ask for a sauce because there isn't any. This is just my pure despise for DnD 5e and how they implemented martials.

I hate how 5e turned one of the coolest and most iconic trope, the warrior, into the most boring, bland and weak implementation in the whole system.

Oh you swapped your shield for two-handed weapon because you wanted something that hits "hard"? Enjoy your mighty extra 1d6 of damage while getting beaten like a little bitch even though you have 17AC, while a caster can a do minimum of 4d6 damage on a falied fireball saved from distance.

And attacking is basically the only useful thing you can do every fucking turn. Roll twice and if you hit you can do a little bit of a miserable damage. yay, dice I guess.

"BuT yoU PiCKED A BORING cLaSs ThaT ONly attACk, WHaT diD You EXPect!!!1!"

Oh, you're right. Next time I will filter for "actually interesting classes to play" and pick a caster.

"buT YoU CAn DO WhAtevEr You WANT On thE SyStEM, THerE is rUle Of coOL!!!!1!!"

My PC use divine smite on an ATTACK, and my channel divinity gives me +10 on my ATTACK, what am I supposed to do? Fart on the enemies face?

Also, are you admitting this system doesn't give you any support to do anything other than attack?

And the worst is that everyone only plays this boring ass system called DnD 5e and refuses to play anything else instead of learning a cool system like Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
