Did they fix the situation where if you go monk it didn't matter what enchanted weapon you had?
Spoiler: Show
Concisely: I want a system where players don't have to pick between mechanics and roleplaying. I hope 5E fails asap so a better system can be made asap.

What prevents the monk from just wielding a shortsword in one of his hands and using riposte, deflect and two-wapon defense?

Nothing.  My monk carries a dagger in off-hand, and only ever uses it to deflect.  Works like a charm!

Well, a monk doesn't have short sword proficiency and the feats require that you have proficiency. Replace shortsword with dagger or handaxe and it'll work.
