I'm a Champions fan from wayyyyyyyyy back. I've never liked Hero for anything other than superhero gaming, but in that genre it excells.

For me, as long as the system is playable, and handles combat well, I'll play it.

Which HERO does, albeit more slowly than some systems. I've found that, once you're used to HERO, it's just as fast to resolve an individual attack as other systems, but the comfort curve is pretty steep.

HERO handles superheroics very well, but GURPS is the better "universal" system. I never liked HERO for fantasy; IMO, there's a bias against lethal attacks built into the HERO system that hamstrings fantasy characters somewhat.
