I think it is a very cool addition to the game, makes fights a little more complex and adds a strategic element to the highground, aside from advantage of course. I love the verticality in the game, and I don't think shoving is overpowered or should be nerved, since both my party and the enemy can use it to their advantage. However, I have seen comments on how shoving could be modified, for example by adding a saving throw, or changing it so that it becomes an action instead of a bonus action.

On a side note, i think it would fit nicely if shoving would become an action for all classes, and the rogue would get shove as a cunning action.

I have also seen some people arguing for a complete removal of shove from the game. What do you think and why?


In the paper game, Shoving IS an action available to anybody and it can replace an attack (not the Attack action, just one attack). And there are Dexterity/Strength options in the paper game.
