It's weird, I haven't used shove more than a handful of times (hah!) I've just never enjoyed those kinds of mechanics. I don't mind them being in-game, but I do not want the combat balanced around using things like shove. That would frustrate me, because it forces me to have a harder time because I don't want to use silly mechanics.
The problem is that it doesn’t even matter if the player chooses to engage with the mechanic or not.
You still have the AI abusing the hell out of it, because once weighted the options it becomes really apparent that in most cases it’s the most valuable use of a bonus action it can make.
