And, if we are looking at taking advantage of that flexibility we want to make sure that the combat makes sense and is realistic. When we look at building encounters with how dangerous even the smallest mook is, it allows you the freedom to create a challenge that fits the story perfectly.
In 5th edition we do not have the monster roles to work with so building an engaging encounter is about more than creating a balances fight of roles to push your party to the brink, in 5e a horde of goblins can be more threatening to a party than a dragon. So you would load up the front lines with brutes and use artillery from behind to pound on the players, all while having a controller slowing the party down, and maybe toss in a couple of skirmishers to swing in and do the big damage to the party is bursts. When we talked about Monster Roles in 4th Edition D&D it was part of building an encounter- You wanted your encounter to be well-rounded, interesting, and a challenge.
