Thinking is such a pain when it comes to making encounters. And 4e monster manual was so good at helping you not have to think.

I want that more as a tool, than just calculating CR experience. Cause its never right. But like, you tell me to use a Bruiser, two lurkers, and 6 artillery minions for the fight, and suddenly that's a good fight. That's what I want. The variety. Stupid ass 5e.
