Quake not only offers a way for players with the best aim to win, but more cerebral players, such as rapha, a recognizable name in Overwatch now, have been able to find success as well. There are multiple aiming styles and a variety of movement tricks. One of the greatest things about Quake is that it is most apparently a skill-based game. It is important that Quake Champions holds true to the model where the best players are rewarded for how they play and not leave it up to poorly balanced champions and RNG. When it does happen - which it does - comebacks show just how insane that player must have been in that one moment when they turned the tables.
The utter domination of players in Quake is both a blessing and a curse in that the best players are rewarded and it is an amazing feeling to be in control, but on the other side, it feels like there is no way back into the game. This unpleasant scenario leads to the opponent picking up frag after frag, dominating not only on the scoreboard but also in terms of control. You then return to the game, potentially within reach of your opponent, with almost nothing while your opponent could have everything he could ever need. If you die, then your stats and guns are reset. You don’t want to be fighting at a time and in a position that gives your opponent access to the Mega while you are open to taking damage. In Quake, positioning and timing are absolutely critical. Once a player amasses a certain array of guns and has good stats, they look for a fight. Important power-ups to keep in mind are Mega Health and Red Armor. Players attempt to get an edge on each other by picking up items scattered throughout the map, such as guns and power-ups. They have the same model, the same health pool, the same movement speed, etc.
In the Duel that we saw in previous Quake games, two players would be placed with exactly equal characters with just a machine gun. However, Duel, in its classic form, presents a problem to the modern fan.
Like I said before, Duel is essential to Quake. In this article, I examine, through my experience in the beta, my-admittedly limited-Quakebackground, and my background as an esports journalist in the modern-day, whether Quake Champions has a shot at being one of the next big esports games based on its concept. As Quake is a hardcore esports game with a loyal and hardcore fanbase, Bethesda and id Software must walk a fine line to keep Quake Champions a Quake game as well as do something new and innovative for today’s gaming market. Games like League of Legends and Overwatch are the new ways to have fun in the current climate. Dueling games have been dying out, however, as esports has become more streamlined.
Quake is primarily a 1v1, duel-based, game.
