You really never should judge a game on the closed beta, I know everyone does it but it is not really a good judge of the game at launch. Open beta is a much better time to start the judging but even that is not prefect as it does not really give you any insight as to what the community will be like.

That said I am looking forward to Champions and I am happy they are not trying to force PVP into it in a way that does not fit. As it is now I am going to be looking for my PVP fix from other games but dabble in it in champions from time to time.
