A lot of things. Quite a lot of things.

In a quick summary for part of the issues, with V5 MK tried to make RWBY less of an action show and more of a story-driven show, but did so in a horrible manner, with multiple fights being disappointing in animation and energy and impact.

Or in some cases, being completely and utterly skipped for no reason whatsoever. Even in the motherfucking finale.

Meanwhile, on the writing aspect...it's horrendous, at times even worse than Vol.1 at it's lowest. Minimal real plot progression at times, while most of the time people are just standing around and talking, and not even in a creative manner like, say, talking while exploring the city.

In fact, we barely see shit of Mistral. You saw the 1st ep, you saw how they used those horrendous 2D backgrounds and people who looked like concept art. Instead of doing things like in VOLUME 2 where they used actual 3D backgrounds with actual 3D models.

The heroes do nothing but laze around at home. We don't even see them training, and for all that they talk with each other we never get the good interactions we hoped, like a single Ozpin-Jaune conversation, or Ruby asking Ozpin about the Silver Eyes (note: She does ask him about things. Ozpin asks her afterwards if she got more questions. She says "nope").

Actually, nearly everything that happens in Mistral before the big battle is stuff that could've been explained in a single WoR video, or a simple Q&A, or a small Twitter post like Monty used to do. Not things worth wasting a whole 1/3 of the episodes on.
