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 loved 4e combat too. EOT and Scene abilities make combat much more fun and dynamic IMO

It definitely can get bogged down in complexity, but I think it's usually worth it, and over time, you and your players can get used to it, and start picking up the pace.

Pokemon Tabletop United basically uses the same system, and it also has to contend with multiple Pokemon characters per Player character. The whole group needs to be working together to keep things moving. It's definqtely a challenge for new players
