I don't find something about character classes, but would Crutch Character come close enough for your taste?

Is there a trope for tabletop games or video games where a particular Character Class is considered rather subpar and advised against as a dedicated path, but on the other hand is rather popular as a "dip", i.e. taking just the first few levels of it for substantial advantages?
