They got rid of the item stuff and moved the complexity from being focused on the character builds to more strategic stuff that's visible on the map. The Blizzard MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, was kind of designed from the ground up to be a lot more watchable. With MOBAs the action is scattered across 3 to 6 areas of the map at the same time, so it's way more complicated to keep track of as a spectator. Moreover, in Starcraft if lots of different things are happening at once, it's as technically challenging for the players to keep track of as it is for the viewers. They're not really intuitive or sensical to the uninitiated. Games like DotA and LoL have too many mechanics built into them that are just debt from their origins as a Warcraft 3 mod. Starcraft is fairly easy to pick up and almost all the relevant information to understand who is ahead, who is behind, and how the game is going is easily visible on the screen. This is true of DotA and LoL, but not really Starcraft. In football if the guy holding the ball is out in front of the defending team and running to the end zone I can guess he's going to score a TD, but a team can look like they're getting whooped in DotA but really they're tricking the opponents and someone is making a sneaky play in a different corner of the map or someone has an ability or gear that means the situation is the reverse of what it appears, etc.Īll of that is really only apparent to someone very familiar with the game. I can see roughly what's going on but I couldn't tell you if a team is winning or losing to save my life. Games like MOBAs are opaque by comparison. I don't need to know batting averages, the difficulty of plays, or why a play was exceptional to know when a player or team scored points. Being from Europe I don't really know anything about American football or baseball beyond the basics, but watching a game it's pretty transparent whenever someone does something good. Yeah, I think this is the major difference. They'll probably tone him down a bit in the near future, though. You don't need positioning, you don't need teamwork just get those arrows in the immediate vicinity of the enemy's heads and you win, no matter what your team is doing. people with average aim in other games can absolutely destroy with Hanzo given the large hitbox of his one-shot-kill arrows. And the balance of the game is such that right now, they're kind of right.

The biggest problem Overwatch has is that they made it appealing to the hard-core gamers as well, so you have to wade through all the people in the community that complain about 'no aim, no brain' because they happened to play Aim Hero 13 hours a day and believe that's the only skill in a first-person perspective game that involves killing people. I have made many friends in that game, even met my (ex-) girlfriend via 'stay as team' after a good match. The variety of heroes has something for everyone from those that have been playing FPSes since they were 5 (Soldier, McCree, Widowmaker), those that picked up Overwatch as their first competitive FPS at 30 (Winston, Reinhardt, Moira, Mercy.), or those that want something completely different (Doomfist, Sombra, Symmetra). The matchmaking did a very good job of keeping the games winnable but not boring. and the rest of the details I picked up as I played. If I was in a good position, I didn't know what the controls did. I certainly knew what to do in the game, but I could never get out of my elementary-school soccer habits where I just chased the ball around like an idiot, never in a position to make a play. I didn't find it that much fun and the learning curve was a bit too steep.

Twitch is more of a return to old-school TV in that regard. Meanwhile I wonder how people have time to finish entire seasons of TV shows on netflix, given the modern trend of story-driven shows that assume you've actually seen all the previous episodes instead of pre-internet-era sitcoms that you could jump in and watch any 30-minute episode with little context.

This gives me (somewhat surprisingly) lots of the same satisfaction that playing games used to give me plus it's a lot less stressful (I was mostly into competitive multiplayer games) and without any practice required to get good at the game.

I mean, I'm sure there are core fans who do that, probably students and single young professionals like you say, but my use case for Twitch is 'hey, I have 10-20 minutes free not even enough time for a full DotA game, but I can see which pro players happen to be online now and watch them play for a bit'.

Streamers aren't meant to be consumed by watching them every day for hours on end. I watch Twitch because I grew up playing lots of video games and now watching is less of a time commitment then playing the games.
