We all know that height advantage is totaly OP in game and the whole combat evolves around that. And what happens? Druid is designed to even exploit this more. And instead of listen to community they take wotc onboard to approve their non DnD rules.
Wake up guys please!
Admittedly the fine tuning of rules is not the thing I care the most, but as an external observer Larian's stubbornness with this strikes me as weird because they'd have SO MANY ways to still offer a bonus/penalty for high or low ground without relying on something as heavy as ADVANTAGE.
For instance they could add a flat +1 or +2 to any roll and I don't think so many people would be mad about it, because the idea that someone with the high ground get a benefit on range attacks makes perfectly sense.
The Jump/disengage issue is completely different: that's simply stupid both in principle and execution and its consequences on the flow of the combat are devastating in ways that go beyond what would be reasonable to even predict (namely encouraging that weird leapfrog dynamic of characters jumping all around the battlefield to get a backstab/flanking or distance themselves from a melee attack).
