My experience at running 5e is admittedly low.
However, I've been a player in several campaigns. I've started to notice that monsters appear to struggle to land attacks on players, in some instances needing to roll extremely high to even touch a PC. In some cases, if a paladin, eldritch knight, or similar such characters are in a group, it appears that CR-appropriate creatures are often just praying for a critical so as to be able to do anything.
I'm unsure if this is a common occurrence or some weird oddity of the character building choices common among those with whom I game. As I, at some point, will likely be running future campaigns, I'm trying to be cognizant of issues which may occur.
I realize that, as DM, I'm not necessarily trying to kill a PC, but I feel as though some fights become anti-climactic (and start to really drag at higher levels) when monsters appear to be somewhat impotent.
I'd appreciate input concerning whether or not this is a "problem" others have encountered.
