If you combine your class features with some other feats of your own choise, both Battle Master and Champion can be awsome!In 5th edition there is a lot of good feats for fighters. Solid feats!-Alert: +5 initiativ! That's never wrong!-Defensive Duelist: If you are using finesse weapons, you can useyour reaction to add proficiency bonus to AC. -Dual Wielder: If you use two weapons you get +1 AC and some nice abilities.-Great Weapon Master: I can see a Champion with a heavy weapon of some sort combined with hes crit:19-20 (18-20) dealinga lot of damage with this one.-Inspiring Leader: Grant your party with some ekstra temporaryHit Points before entering battle. Why not...?-Lucky: This looks like a real off the hook feat. This might be that one thing preventing you from taking a serious critical hit. -Mage Slayer: To be a pain in the butt for spell casters...yes please!-Martial Adept: Some ekstra maneuvers and superiority dices.-Polearm Master: If you fight with reach weapons.-Savage Attacker: Reroll damage.-Sentinel: Very effective against opportunity attacks.-Shield Master: If you use shields, you can shove or knock targetsprone. (I use this and It's very effective, granting advantage).-Sharpshooter: If you use bows.-Tough: For ekstra Hit Points. (I will always pick this feat, if possible)My Battle Master is Dexterity based instead of Strenght. I use light armor, finesse weapon (scimitar) and a shield. Only lvl5 so far.-Fighting Style: Protection:If you are fighting adjacent to other members inyour party you can protect them a little, granting enemies disadvantage on attacks.-I have the feat Shield Master:As a bonus action I can knock targets prone, granting myself and the others advantage. After turning level 5 I have an extra attack. If it's necessary I canuse one of the attacks to use my maneuver 'command'. My friendthe ranger can finish them off!I see maneuvers as a last resort and/or when times calls for something extra. To maybe manipulate the battle field a little. Or gain an upper hand against opponents. Even the odds a little.-I have 3 maneuvers so far: Command, Reposte and Parry. Other maneuvers will come along later, but I guess those 3 will bethe most used. The superiority dices will become stronger and I get some more uses eventually. The feat Martial Adept will grant even more when I get it.Suprisingly my Battle Master works well as a Tank/controller role!If I can later add the feat Defensive Duelist, I think that could be usefull. Staying alive means I can protect others.The other characters in my group:-A paladin: Tank with heavy armor and a greatsword. Deals tons of damage now with extra attacks. Heals and grants blesses.-A ranger: Deals a lot of damage to wounded foes. Also has afew tricks up his sleave. Pinning targets with arrows.-A rogue: Holy cow they can deal alot of damage to single foeswhen they have advantage. (I'm planing an Assassin for a later campaign. Looks insane!).-A Sage/wizard: I think glass canon is the right term here. But he has some very potent spells, and can bring groups of targets down.I see my Battle Master as a "playmaker" of sorts. A team playerthat compliments the other players. It's fun to se one of the team mates get a critical hit because youprovided advantage.</blockquote>
