Despite the occasional cringe worthy piece, Champions is still a good comic. To me, though, it seems like they're trying to dumb it down more with each issue. This series went from women fighting for rights in a country where women are actually oppressed to a bunch of rich kids bullying homeless people. Oh yeah, and the reason being because "punching things is what they do." While the series is still written solidly, this issue itself could definitely be classified as a filler issue, nothing really happening in it beside (stupidly) introducing the Champion's new enemies, the Freelancers.
