Minmaxing is not a problem on TT with the right group IMO, but your DM better well be a fucking munchkin as well, so they know how to handle power gamers. More importantly, minmax with a purpose: if your character has these attributes there should be justification for it and it should tie into their backstory and how you roleplay the character. Me and my DM are disgusting munchkins but we use those powers to encourage good roleplaying, and can make flaws out of being too good at certain things, like characters that are prideful about their abilities and underestimating their foes, or as skilled as they are due to traumatic events forcing their hand. We also help newbies figure out what they want to do mechanically and try to help fit mechanics into their backstories and potential roleplay with suggestions but ultimately leave it up to them.
