'Backstab' gives advantage because your opponent cant see you. Use the blind spell for backstabs to the face 😂
The AI uses it as well at times and honestly if people no longer have free disengage on everyone its alot harder to abuse tbh...
The use of facing (something that is in 5e, but as an optional rule in the DMG) really can work, it just needs to be handled a little better - removing the bonus action jump/disengage would help quite a bit. But the facing rules also allow someone to use their reaction to change facing. Also, moving outside of the front arc to attack someone from behind would also provoke an opportunity attack (unless you have disengaged).
