QUAKE CHAMPIONS BETA FORUM MODS

There was no twitch, or YouTube to piggy back off of like today. It may be hard for the younger audience to understand the difficulties e-sports had to overcome to get this point in our timeline. Clearly what id software was doing with QuakeCon was decades a head of even Valve’s 'The International'. Atari technically sponsored arcade tournaments all the way back in the early 1970’s. To be clear e-sports was around well before Quake | DOOM, or id software were around. I started with Counter Strike Global Offensive (currently celebrating it’s 9th Birthday), and DOTA-2, but these games would not even have the success they have without the OG QUAKE games. I personally am really into e-sports instead of more traditional sports/competitions. Quake Champions has seen lots of success as an e-sport as well. All of these Layers together have transformed Quake Champions into the most competitive FPS shooter on the market. For instance Ranger’s passive allows him to block all self damage by a flat 75% making him ideal for rocket jumping, or abusing the NailGun in difficult situations.

On top of this each Champion has Passives that may allow them to be better suited for certain tasks in game. Ranger’s 'DIRE ORB' Even being a reference to the original 1996 Quake Boss Ending. Each Champion has a single ability that can be used in a number of ways to help change the tides of battle.
