I certainly wouldn't enjoy such scenarios all the time.I wonder if HotDQ started as it did to show off Bounded Accuracy. Show how even a low level group can do some damage to a high level dragon. It kind of missed the boat for me as well. A bunch of low level archers firing at a dragon with a low AC would hit it enough times to do severe damage as Hemlock has showed with his skeleton archers. There were twenty archers on the battlements. Add in the PCs firing, you had quite a bit of damage to an adult dragon. At first we were frightened given in past editions dragons were truly fearsome creatures that could rip apart armies. In 5E that isn't the case save if the DM narrates such an event. If you have an army of archers firing arrows, they'll kill a dragon rather quickly. Makes dragons seem rather weak. I didn't enjoy that aspect of 5E later on. Dragons are supposed to be immensely powerful. No DR and relatively low AC makes them weak against parties.</blockquote>
