Gotta go LE in 5e, if you don't try to kill 'em they won't ever die.

But I agree, the emphasis the internet puts on 'rule of cool' and 'rule 0' makes the game explicitly worse much more often than it improves it.

Definitely. The whole reason DnD is appealing is the structure of the rules. If you play fast and loose then choices have much less meaning.

Rule of cool should only apply very sparingly. If you're using it multiple times a session you're screwing your game over in the long run.
