You already have to give up an attack to attempt a grapple, which prior to 5th level can take a PC's entire turn essentially. Even if you succeed, it just sets their speed to 0 and little else. Sure, you can knock them down too for easy advantage, but that requires a second attack use and a second opposed check. It's one of 5th edition's successes that grappling is a reasonable action for PCs to take and has an appreciable sense of success. This is a large contrast to the garbage of 3.x grappling, in which you needed a flowchart to figure out what steps to take and was useless unless you were heavily invested in it.Someone else said it in the thread as well, but if your encounter is being ruined reliably because a large creature was successfully grappled, it's not the rules that need to change.</blockquote>
