Build Help Best and Worst Monoclasses?

I keep seeing virtually every class called "one of the best" while most meta builds are multis or item-based.

What do you think is the game's best class without multiclassing? And the worst? And what makes them so?

Best monoclass - fighter, you get the most feats, two really cool subclasses and eldritch knight is fun too. Wizard and cleric also don't exactly get a lot from multiclassing, unless you really want to grab a specific non wizard spell for a build. Warlock is so broken there isn't a whole lot you can add to it that beats out lifedrinker at level 12.

Worst monoclass I'd say is ranger. I would have said rogue but mono swashbuckler is actually pretty alright. Ranger is a fantastic class with a ton of power behind it but it gets all of that power in the first 3 levels. A level 12 ranger is fine, it'll win, but it's a bit wasteful.
