See, this is why I refuse to have anything to do with 5th ed and stick to 1st. 5th is completely OP at the novice end of the scale and only gets worse.
As a general rule, older games with level systems don't have the problem of rapid increases, it's the demand for "instant gratification" which video games have helped promote (but not solely responsible for) which in my mind at least has screwed up the hobby. It's very easy to find players compared to 30+ years ago, but extremely difficult to find any with an attention span of greater than a single session.
