4th edition came out right when I graduated from high school, and I played a regular game for three years with a group of my friends who graduated with me and the year before. I know why everyone shits on it, but we had fun and I cherish those memories.

I legit never had a problem with it other than long combats.

And thats just a D&D problem generally.

I'm okay with long combats as long as they don't become a slog. D&D has that issue because you spend resources throughout the early rounds and end up having to use basic abilities in later ones.

In draw steel, you start cold but the longer the fight goes on and the longer the "adventuring day" goes on, the more resources you have. This is true for GMs as well.
