On the other hand, it would practically protect players from being pushed by small creatures like goblins (as long as the character invests in athletics / acrobatics), which is perhaps the biggest complaint about shove.
Of course, it also has some drawbacks (or advantages depending on how you look).
The complaint is not that it is by goblin.
The complaint is that it happen too often.
It would be the same / even worse if goblins in the goblins camp were humans.
