Counter counter point, fuck this GM should know all the stats bullshit. I have a lot to keep track of and the players have one thing to keep track of, their own stats. I'm gonna let them handle the one part they are responsible for.

How do you create encounters without doing the math? Do you just wing it and hope for the best?

A good system shouldn't require me to know everyone's individual stats, just something like overall level and maybe their class composition to get a broad idea of capabilities.

This. Pathfinder 2e has a rather robust encounter building system. 5e not having one is a failure of the game designers
