Everything is Fine for me in Patch 8, except from the Reaction System. I mean Attacks of opportunity are fine as they are, but the Cutting Words and later on Counterspell cant work as they do now.
They should implement the option to Ask like a pop up for specific spells and leave they rest as they are so the combat doent get annoying!
What if they keep the same Reactions system, but you can pause the game at any time, and turn on/off Reactions for any PC in your party?
This would allow for the game to flow as it does now, but allow a degree of freedom for players to control when to Reaction on a specific character's turn? The only thing you couldn't do is react to a single character making multiple actions in a turn that could trigger the same Reaction.
That seems like a good compromise between their currently implemented Reactions and 5th Ed Reactions?
