While some characters effectively had 20 levels of increasing ability to hit (fighter-types), one of the key features of AD&D was a bound on Armor Class. 2e's bound on AC was a bit soft for really high end dragons, but for the VAST majority of opponents, it covered a similar span to 5e - about 12-15 points between AC 10 and AC -2 to -5, which conforms to 5e's general spread from 10 to 22-25. From a practical perspective, it means that high level attackers aren't very likely to miss their targets and lower level attackers aren't completely mathematically eliminated from doing damage to a more powerful opponent.</blockquote>
