I also disagree strongly with changing how combat works. Both rules as we have them now leave players with a great variety of choices that effect the outcome of combat.

The new system take away alot of the option you have now. I cannot find it intuitive to line up blockers. Alone the fact they had to introduce this new rule so combat works at all with the new rule shows this can’t be the best way.

I have set up a petition website two days ago to make WotC take back the changes in combat rules:
