A tactics game like Desperados, or XCOM would be great. But "competitive" multiplayer just sounds way too much like jumping on the bandwagon.

I could see that too! Though there's definitely potential in competitive multiplayer. Imagine a game with the tactical complexity of CS:GO, and with high-intensity combat mostly dependent on good understanding of the map environment.

Still not the thing what I think people like about ATLA, though. Multiplayer simply can't convey narrative.

A game with a great narrative in the ATLA universe would be amazing, but it's not the only thing that can work. The bending system has incredible potential for deep and complex combat. Building a great competitive multiplayer experience around that doesn't prevent anyone from also building a great narrative game in the same universe.
