I agree with you on most except the combat downgrade. I'm fine with the action economy right now, except how reactions are done. But the surface crap is terrible. Its unavoidable dmg at the start of your turn when that shouldn't exist so readily. Why are there 3+ archers every fight with bombs? Bombs should be rare, they are rare in D&D. The game loves to put you at a huge disadvantage at the beginning of fights with you getting low ground and getting bombarded for some reason. Terrible encounter design.
