I don't recall much negativity at all durring the run if 4e. In 4e, all attacks, including spells like fireball, took attack rolls so did half damage on a miss. The mechanic was pervasive, and very common on spells.? I remember my initial reaction to this in 4e was negative, but then realized it was no big deal. Same with 13th Age. If it's easy to explain, it'll work fine.
With the 5e playtest returned to resolving attack spells with saves, the DoaM mechanic when it cropped up in a combat style, could be singled out, and was.
