4e Pack Lord: Whenever heroes kill one of its allies it can force one of them to hit themselves, it can move multiple allies forwards, grant them extra attacks

5e Pack Lord: Just regular Gnoll but can recharge one ally's Rampage.

I had a binder full of moves for my level 8 barbarian.

If you really enjoyed the nuance of spin in a circle with two one-handed weapons as a distinct Action from `swing one weapon really hard in a circle” it was a great system.

If you just want to play role playing game with some combat, it was a terrible system

It seems that at least 4th edition was doing combat right
