Shout powers! Shout powers are fun and flavorful - if flavored right. Seems that the issue with the warlord is that shouts are flavored as non-magical but mechanically work as magic. Unfortunatly, this has probably turned many folkel off of any type of specialised shout-based spell casting, even if reflavored.
Well, that and shouts seem to have an MMO origin and therefore are listed as too videogamey (but, let's not cover that argument again - too much passion involved).
I'm fine with the Warlord or similar getting a little Skyrimmed up for 5e and WotC explains "Shouts" as an inate, spell-like ability due to a natural magical talent. Plenty of folklore and fiction to back up this sort of character archetype.
