Well, as another player of both FEH and FGO, let me just say a few things.
For one, yes, you have gotten extremely lucky, those are fantastic first pulls, but in this game, you can't really expect that to last. Even if lately you haven't been pulling well in Heroes, just note that compared to Heroes, Grand Order is extremely unforgiving. For example, in Heroes, due to the 5* and the 5* focus multipliers both being present, you have a 6% chance at getting a 5*, and you'll get a higher percent as your pity rate increases. FGO's percent chance at 5* is stuck permanently at 1% and even 4* are only at a 3% rate. In short, your more likely to get a 5* in FeH than a 4* in FGO, and there's no pity rate ups every 5 summons in FGO either.
Just as a comparison, I've been playing both of them since their respective launch days in the US. In FEH I have 45 5* and in FGO I have 3.
This is also partly because in FEH you can summon far more often because of how generous Nintendo is with orbs. Every week in FEH just from gifts we get 8 orbs a week at min, more if they're running two orb gift events like they are right now, and I'm not even counting all the stuff we get from various daily and monthly quests. FGO gives exactly 4 quartz per week on average, 1 summon ticket (which is one free yolo summon), and two quartz if you completel ALL of the weekly quests. We get some extra quartz at every maintenance, and maybe some for special events, but that's about it. Nintendo is far more generous with their summoning materials probably because they can afford to be. They're Nintendo after all. Not saying Type-Moon is small, but between its consoles and its constant stream of games, Nintendo is arguably the largest game company in the world. I'm just saying, if you expect to suddenly start playing FGO and expect to have better luck in the long run in comparison in FEH, you've come to the wrong place.
That being said, there's some definite ways that I consider FGO highly superior to FEH just on a basic level. Just from the get go, the story is overwhelmingly better. Its not the best story ever written, but you can tell at least some effort went into it as opposed to the story in FEH which...I mean...you know, it's almost not even present. I'd also say that with the lower rate, each servant actually feels more special than heroes in FEH. I can't really tell you exactly what heroes I have, there are times when I'm looking through my roster and I'm like, "huh, I have _____ as a five star? Who would've known," but when it comes to both my 4* and my 5* in FGO, I know every one of them, and know how to use them all. In addition, unlike FEH, in FGO almost every servant has a use, even the low star ones, so that makes up for the difficulty in getting higher rarities. For example, Hans Christian Anderson, who is a 2* hero and one of the best healers in the game. FGO also has frequent events, also with their own story and just in general I feel like it has a lot more content than FEH.
FEH is fun and it's much more generous than FGO, but in truth FEH is just a past time, but FGO, while extremely unforgiving with its summons legitimately feels like a full game. A mobile game still, but by far the mobile game that I've enjoyed the most. That's the choice between the two of them.
