Huge Carmack fan here but I feel the need to defend the latest hi-octane Doom incarnation from 2016 - IMHO great controls, fast old-school gameplay, superbe graphics.

I'd agree. The single-player for the new Doom was excellent, but not groundbreaking.

The new Quake I'm not as much of a fan of, since it tries to be Quake 3 with some Overwatch bits tacked on.

If tacking on a few Overwatch bits means I'll be able to find matches, let it be. Quake Live has been pretty dead for a while now.
The matchmaking in Quake Champions is god-awful.

The Overwatch bits I'm talking about are champion abilities, which is against the entire premise of Quake 3 (everyone is equal).

I mostly do play single player these days, which I found excellent as well :)
