Champion team leader Mongokeen, posted the "Champion TL Report - v1.68 (March 2004)" on Camelot Vaults DAoC TL Reports Forum.

Although one of the best in the game at artificial duels, the Champion suffers from some serious problems in “real” RvR – which is the point of the game. Most problems result from the game advancing (realm abilities, buffbots, fixes to other classes, ToA bonuses, etc.) while the Champion has remained relatively stagnant. As a result, the Champion has serious issues getting groups in PvE and RvR.
