[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8295245, member: 93670"] Not at all,. The forks of 5e are not something 5e has had to compete with since it came out. AIME is about the closest you get & it's barely more than a reskin due to 5e being designed for no feats no magic items to make it an easy reskin. Now that those forks are coming along it would be strange indeed for products not even running through printing presses yet in order to beon shelves to be making any impact that could be tracked. That also was not my point. The point was that whatever fraction of GMs feel like their needs are unmet is a much larger slice of the playerbase due to how a gm generally has more influence over what the table does than any one player. It's an objective fact. every attack is made with a full attack bonus rather than -5/-10/etc. Bounded accuracy locks the curve so magic weapons shift the already low AC to an even less meaningful value Generally lower ac monsters need to compensate with higher HP. hitting is more fun than missing so things were tuned to hit more often while overlooking how it just becomes the norm rather than exciting when it becomes common enough. 2e is extremely different from 5e in so many ways that it's barely a reasonable comparison. It takes a lot longer to roll calculate& track damage on an attack than it does to miss & move on to the next attack or player. [/QUOTE]
