I have over 200 hours gameplay of BG3 and how could shove possibly be the problem that is reported here+ I have never seen anything close to it. Sure AI uses it a few times but it's really really not that much. Just use better positioning if you want to avoid getting pushed into lava, really. It adds a new tactical layer whcih is just good, and the AI definitely doesn't spam it like you make it seem, or I'm playing a whole different game.
Again, no one is asking to remove Shove, just to balance it. The complaint is exactly that positioning doesn't help as it should because the distance is so over the top. And from an offensive point of view, combat revolves way too much around shoving your enemies and luring the clueless AI to ledges for easy wins. Or waiting for them to walk on a bridge you can collapse like they were made of paper. The exploits are too easy and too powerful to be interesting tactically.
