That's still not really conveying the stuff that's making Avatar interesting, IMHO.
Avatar was amazing for a few reasons: creative world-building, philosophical questions, spirituality, adventures, politics, martial arts and the intricate detail in the martial arts animation. None of these aspects are well suited for a "competitive multiplayer" game. No one remembers anything about the story of the first titanfall game.
It has the vibes of the XCOM First-person shooter they planned, before the series was revived with the tactics game.
Edit: The pro-bending stuff was mostly there to introduce characters and introduce some drama for the characters. I think "sports anime" stuff isn't the thing most people like about anime. Plus: pro bending never included airbending.
