MF_James posted:Ehhh hundreds of heroes? Not really because there's like 20 that are top-tier and the rest are garbage, unless the game has fundamentally changed since I last played. you have dota confused with league of legends.

i almost can't watch these matches when it's not tastosis. if i'm catching up via vods i'll skip whole days if tasteless is gone. stop having a life outside starcraft man. that being said, tvz is the lord's one true matchup.

momentum was building with two great gsls and then everyone was like why aren't there any tourneys and it turns out blizzard asked them to stop in the lead up to remastered.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:A game doesn't have to be a good spectator sport to be a good competitive game. you're quite right, i should've been more specific. i can only think of brood war and assorted fighting games as competitive games that also make good spectator ones. dota maybe? everything else is garbo that i don't understand having an audience.

AtillatheBum posted:Overwatch at least has the benefit of being mostly about team fights so you can usually at least see everyone interacting together and additionally most of the important abilities in the game are super flashy and have distinct audio cues so even if you aren't spectating the right person you can tell when something important is happening. It's still not a great game to spectate but I think its better than most other FPSs. overwatch is not a well designed or balanced games and the maps are very bad. it might be the best example of "esports as marketing".

AtillatheBum posted:I agree on all points except the maps where I'd say about a 1/3rd are dogshit and the rest range from passable to good. I still think it's a lot more fun to watch than hide and seek but with guns. you are quite right, i'm just a big baby when it comes to poorly balanced and designed games getting competitive scenes solely due to developers using it as marketing (lol, smite, loving clash of clans, pretty much any multiplayer game now). fighting games, brood war, dota all had scenes naturally grow (and then were taken over by companies to use as marketing!).

why can blizzard do that? kespa ran starcraft for years without em. that just made me remember blizzard killed all the hype the asl had been building just so they could debut their reskin.

the prize pool is a rounding error on their balance sheet. this is a company putting tens of millions of dollars into a league for a terrible competitive game. it's really loving dumb for that forced hiatus - you would've had way more hype for remastered if asl kept going right up until launch.

it really is a shame that the only esports that even sniff at brood war are fighting games or dota (and the last international's final make a holy trinity of greatest moments with daigo parry and boxer triple bunker rush). all the rest of the "esports" are trash in comparison.
