this dude clearly has no idea how duel functions as a gamemode

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

I switched to shotgun pocket to specifically shutdown scouts that was my original intent-- so I will disagree with this point, part of what I felt made me effective running shotgun was my ability to jump a scout and kill them with the shotgun, I only ever did this with good hp though. Soldiers with gunboats struggle to finish scouts when they jump them because typically you have to hit a really good direct rocket on them when you pop them up and usually those 2 seconds of airtime is more than enough for the scout to kill that soldier.

Mastering good quick-switching between shotgun and rockets can really make you have so much impact in a game and really hard to deal with. After that LAN the amount of feedback I received from my opponents (scouts namely) who were surprised and taken off-guard by my shotgun and aggression (this is key, the days of waddlebot are over shotgun or not) was pretty innumerable and it's pretty telling of what you can do if you play shotgun pocket. The style though, in my honest opinion completely relies on good aim and good knowledge of how heals work in the game. You have to be meticulous about the fights you commit to and a lot smarter with how you posture yourself in team fights. There is simply less room for error in that regard.

Amen.

Do not listen to players like saam and Getawhale, can't even make real names for themselves lol. Cookiejake is the one of the last truthful and respectable players.
