Legend
I guess I disagree, but a lot of people had that issue (long combats). With some work we got 4e combat down to about what we do in 5e now. 10-15 minutes.Well, I found the combat not-fun for me, and it dominated playtime, so my overall enjoyment was impacted. And I think the changes they made that made that balance possible led directly to thst experience.
Now, I think that is unrelated to balance, but intertwined with how balance was implemented.
