I simply don’t get your point Rhobar. Where’s the part where the game gets easy? You’re missing more. The length of a battle will remains nearly the same. The counter part of getting back to the raw rules is that your spell slot will become a valuable asset again. If it’s easy, add +1 goblin. You balance the battle CR by adding or removing pieces of the chessboard, not by changing them because you think that it’s more fun to see the hp values popping out for every single attack.
Guys, DnD is a class game. Every class must have balance. Right now they are balancing classes with damn cantrips. Oh, dear lord....
