I was watching this on youtube and realised this applies to QC so much. Before watching this I was thinking of how QC should have managed champions and abilities based on fighting games, ie; the basic movement and health being the same but with unique abilities. This video goes into a lot of depth about modern fighting games being dumbed down in the same way Quake is.
