the only reason I ever disliked overwatch was the lack of actual arena-shooter mechanics, the ability for a player (if good enough) to win a situation or a fight off of simply being a better player with movement and aim actually having a huge amount of impact in a fight.
As far as I can tell these abilities do not hinder that, if only to add perhaps what I would think of as potentially a bit more depth considering they're going for more team-based gameplay otherwise it would just be Clan Arena the game which honestly does not have a lot of depth as a gamemode. Abilities in overwatch such as Soldier 76's aimbot, Reinhardt's stun, Pharah's literal barrage of rockets, mccree's insta-kill headshots completely detract from that in my opinion-- you can kill players with the click of a button and remove movement capabilities. None of the abilities so far in Quake Champions give an indication that it will lend you anything of that sort (the telefrag seems sorta unlikely since players can actually move around in a fight so if you happened to get telefragged it might mean you blow).
I can understand the skepticism but I really think this is going to be nothing like overwatch. The game doesn't seem to revolve around the added abilities like overwatch does, they are simply just there to differentiate the classes. At least that's the opinion I've formed, until the closed beta I'm as clueless as anyone else.
edit: Also unless I missed some key moment in that video all I see is someone who isn't very good at FPS games in general getting owned in what looks like a pretty unorganized DM fest gamemode in a game that no one quite yet knows much about. Basically a standard normal Quake FFA or TDM experience

We finally got the Anarki trailer... and it was done by someone who w strafes. And that's effective. See the first clip.

i'm sorry but this seems so bad lmao. i can't honestly see how an old quake player can like this game. it resembles nothing of the old cpma mechanics that made quake what it was, much less how the game looks. i guess they tried to convey to a modern look considering we're in 2017 already but at the same time keeping the old style looks, yet it looks like neither. this game simply doesn't look like quake, and probably won't feel like it either.
i also don't see how a newcomer will like this game either considering we're in a era of mobas and counter-strike and, reflex alike, new arena fps games simply don't raise the bar for the masses. they can add "skills" to the "characters" as much as they like. it's a gold but outdated game structure that people of today weren't raised to like.
so in the way i see it, this game doesn't please neither the old school players nor the coming of age kids and it will be nothing but a dead end. a gigantic fail.
you can disagree however you like thou, i really don't care. i'm p surre this game will be forgotten 6 months after its launch. do people even talk about reflex anymore? no they don't.

yeah but reflex is basically cpma with matchmaking.
I hope champions will be able to offer something in-between hardcore afps and fps-moba, idk we'll see.

Signed up.
Don't expect to get in.
Don't really expect this game to be good either.
Still really want to try it anyways.

i dont really know how to react to awkward schoolguy screams on every kill, neither to a personal healthpack: both look awful but for some reason i just dont want to dismiss them straight away and maybe give them a chance...maybe?
new dm6 looks nice though

dont care much for the graphics, having it be all hd and modern is distracting to me, especially how the viewmodels look

very bad sound mixing
weapon sounds, jumping sounds, voice line, echo, background music, none of them sound "clean", all merge together and i just can't hear anything
like 0:9 ; 0:34 ; 1:43 for example, they're just.. a bunch of noises
Edit: wait bethesda made Doom 2016 right? that explain alot

visual design so bad they had to add V markers on people shaking mye head

that audio is fucking atrocious.
i couldnt even tell he had a hitsound until 1:30 when he actually hit someone without the announcer or some guns echo drowning it out.
the visuals are kinda ass but im being optimistic and assuming gore/particles can be reduced and hopefully the hud modifiable. but i wouldnt expect as many sound options so if thats fucked up it honestly turns me off the game quite a bit in itself.
i at least hope they let us turn off that ambience cuz it sounds like they recorded a washing machine for background noise.

provided you can turn off voice lines then I think that it looks pretty good.
one thing that I would say though is that the 'You killed' message is a bit big and in your face, along with the summary stuff on the side being a bit unneeded.

To be fair it's only in a beta state, so stuff like this can be reported back to the devs and they can look into changing it, if they think it's worth changing at all

Check your emails. Just got my closed beta code
edit: also on the subject of Anarki: definitely looks like Anarki will be the meta simply because of the movement. If the voice acting gets annoying I'm certain there will be a dialogue volume option which you can turn off
