The difference in 4E particularly was that Defenders typically had a way to ruin your day with an OA, often ending your movement or teleporting you or something extreme like that. In 5E, with a feat, you could have your movement ended, but that's about it. Most of the time provoking an OA tends to mean just eating a basic attack with no riders.But people act if it's something super-fatal. Because occasionally it is, so use judgement, but they're mostly not that bad. And you only get one and only if you didn't use your reaction on something else.</blockquote>
