Confession of a V5 Storyteller: I can see why ppl prefer V20

For me, it's come down to the meat of the mechanics. So far, V5 offers tools to tell a very specific type of Vampire story, and if you want to run something that deviates from that your going to spend alot of time either coming up with you own homebrew or searching the storyteller's vault for something close to what you hand in mind.

While I don't mind doing this at times, it would be easier and more time efficient to just have official rules on certain things.

For example, I personally find blood sorcery in v5 lacking. Recently, they've added some cool things, but overall, there isn't much there, especially in terms of low-level offense powers. Most of the V5 chronicles I've listened to/watched, like LA by night and All night Society, use some version of a V20 discipline converted into V5 to fill in the gaps. All im saying is it would be nice if V5 just came stock with those power.
