I play easy mode and this is much needed, I die non stop, and I have played table top DnD a good bit in the past. It's definitely over tuned.

I find that it is like DnD and there are some encounters where you can't win and need to run away.

Yeah but I'm playing on easy mode lol I still win the fights it's just that sometimes I have to reload a save 2 or 3 times

Got any examples? I can't think of any

And running away is not easy with the opportunity attacks and the distance required to be able to go to the camp.

It's definitely not overtuned. In easy mode you get max HP let level up and enemies deal less damage. Balanced is where the game respects the rules. You have every advantage with height manipulation, positioning of your characters, having a long rest before a combat encounter after reloading if you didn't see it coming... All of those things can't be done in tabletop.

It's fine to want the easy mode, nbd, but saying that it's overtuned is a stretch when comparing it to the tabletop version of 5E.
