Live has a dwindling playerbase, but the community that's still there is alright. Servers these days are just Clan Arena and Freezetag, with occasional FFA. The skills you learn from it can transfer over well to most other Quakes. It's also just Q3A with some modifications, which is always a good time.

Champions is free, and you get access to all the gamemodes sans custom games (don't know about Ranked). Ranger's all you get, but that isn't a biggie because he's a solid pick anyway and other characters occasionally become F2P. Like any modern game, there's no mod support or server browser, but it's not like Live is getting new stuff anymore.
And If your PC isn't the latest, expect to do major graphics downgrades, or maybe not play it at all. It's very poorly optimized.
