Is it a big deal? Yes, but I feel like people are making more of a deal out of it than it should be. I can understand why they don't want certain games to be shown during a LoL stream (dota 2, Blizzard's Moba or WoW, gambling/poker sites, etc.) but by in large the list is pretty small, and of all those games listed, the only real big ones are Hearthstone (due to how simple/fast most of it's games are) and WoW (you can just afk in WoW in a safe zone when LoL queue pops). | ||

Basically the players can't be playing various high-profile games (for example, Hearthstone) while waiting for LoL queue to pop without changing their stream location from LoL to whatever game they're playing on Twitch/uStream/whatever.

No it includes streaming other games even on their own. not just in queue. | ||

OnGamers to get 5000 "anonymous statements" in the near future. OnGamers are the real winners here, the clicks are out of control. | ||

In large part because the players bargain for the rules as part of a union, and since the union must present a unified front for the purposes of maximizing their bargaining position the players themselves agree not to make inflammatory comments. The union themselves would fine players for that sort of disruption. Coaches who speak out against the rules are NOT part of the players unions and are fined by the organizations separately. Note how the non-existence of a players union makes comparisons to other pro-leagues completely irrelevent. | ||

I don't see anything in the document on OnGamers that says something like that. And if they are going to limit/prevent players from streaming non-LoL games, even when they set their stream up as like, "Famous LoL player playing New Game X, come watch!" under New Game X section on Twitch, then THAT is dumb. Edit: re-reading some popular posts in /r/LoL to find out more about this particular issue. One says (where it's confirmed by Slasher) that they are disallowing players from streaming games on that list outright, even if you catalog it on Twitch as that game. | ||

You can read it in the update portion. | ||

Note how the non-existence of a players union makes comparisons to other pro-leagues completely irrelevent. You're wrong that it makes the comparisons "completely irrelevant". All comparisons of esports leagues to professional sports leagues are simply imperfect. Similarly, comparing individual sports leagues to other sports leagues is likewise imperfect. Nothing is exactly like something else, so no comparison ever holds up completely. The reference to penalties from other sports leagues was meant to provide context and an example of how Riot may implement what the quoted post talked about. | ||

I think I find myself in the minority... but I don't care. The primary reason is that they're being paid by Riot. If they were just normal tournaments then I'd think some clause that states you can't stream any of those games or you'll be barred from the tournament would be nutso and ridiculous. As it is, Riot is paying these guys a salary and obviously advertising for rival games isn't in their best interest. I don't like it; but it's not a big deal as it stands and I understand their reasoning. People play games without streaming them all the time... the majority of gamers do it that way. I think the LoL pros can handle it too. | ||

Come on with the dota stuff. Of course they care, if you had any awareness of the history of Riot's actions regarding Dota (particularly when LoL began as a thing) you'd understand why there's significant residual bitterness. It was earned and is not a "my dad could beat up your dad" type jealousy. What bothers me the most about the change is that LoL benefited so tremendously from a perfect storm of steaming & community involvement that it is incredibly short-sighted to put this kind of strain on that relationship. Total control is the direction Riot has been taking LoL for some time now so it's not a great shock, but it is unfortunate. And frankly exploitative given the pittance they pay pros & destruction of most alternative tournaments/within LoL revenue sources. | ||
