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.

4e was much more combat-oriented. Everyone was OP compared to 5e. It was like playing a tabletop MMORPG.
People hated it, but I really enjoyed it. Not because it was a good version of D&D, but because “tabletop MMORPG” was appealing to me.
(I am not an expert. I played 4e for one campaign.)
Also played 4e for like 3 months and enjoyed it. But it felt like a spinoff more than anything, and the game DID feel "game-ier". I wouldn't want my long-running campaigns in 4e.
