Arenas gave us a good impression of how Id characters would look with their own abilities way before this game was announced.As one of the devs said on the September 28th stream, 'It took 20 years, but finally, the humans and Strogg have found a way to cooperate'. Athena being able to use Strogg's Peeker to take a ride.A year later, everyone's movement abilities were streamlined and ability cooldown times unified, thus defeating the bug.

Not to mention that, well, he is the face of the franchise. Ensemble Dark Horse: While he isn't exactly unknown in the Quake universe, Ranger has his good share of fans for being an extremely balanced character which encourages high mobility: the 'Son of a Gun' passive allows him to take less damage from his own weapons, thus encouraging Rocket Jump, and his 'Dire Orb' ability is basically the game's take on the Translocator.While the reception of Champions has been mixed-to-positive, its appeal has remained quite a niche. On the other hand, potential newcomers that were expected to be brought in by the Hero Shooter aspects were unfamiliar with Quake, its universe, and the arena shooter gameplay it's known for, and were largely alienated by the relatively high skill floor when compared to contemporaries of the genre like Overwatch and Paladins. On one hand, you have the notoriously purist and somewhat niche old guard of Quake fans who were disappointed by such a major shift from the expected fast-paced, player-dependent, high skill-ceiling arena shooter gameplay.

Audience-Alienating Premise: The game got hit with aspects of this since its announcement, primarily due to the integration of Hero Shooter aspects.
