I'm really enjoying it, but only because I know what's going on. | ||

The skill ceiling is impossible to reach. The amount of communication, organization, and ridiculous game mechanics needed to play at the highest level is 3x what any other game has been able to offer in the last 10 years. I sincerely hope HiRez gets their spectator features fixed, as this could be the best FPS E-sport for the next 5-10 years with the right spectating tools. At the moment, I think everyone can agree it's not the easiest game to watch. | ||

But i dont think it is a great game to watch. You just see a lot of characters making huge jumps and shooting around. (it might help if there was first person view, that you would actually see how good they are). | ||

Are the hitboxes really big or something? mostly you attempt to hit your opponents by pre-empting the point when/where they're going to hit the ground, which the target is obviously trying to make as difficult as possible by fx. a) hitting the ground as seldom as possible and b) zigzagging to obfuscate the direction/spot they'll land at. unless you're at the savant level these guys are, you're not going to be hitting the slow projectile weapons (eg. the heavy hitters) on a flying target very often. | ||

Plus its pretty rough to pub on open maps as a jug when u got pathfinders flying all around. As for spectating the game, it really is damn hard to watch. But there are moments when a team desperately tries to defend a flag cap where it's simply makes an epic scene that you could use in a highlight reel. | ||

Not too hard (although I am terrible at it), but play at a professional level is something else entirely, let alone play the kind of game that the messis of this world can do. It's like saying tennis is easy: it is... but that doesn't make everybody a Roger Federer. EDIT: one thing that makes football such a popular sport is because it is REALLY easy to see what is going on. Starcraft has a similar advantage. Halo/Quake take a lot more effort to figure out why someone is winning. In that respect they are more like baseball that, honestly, is a terrible spectator sport: you really have to know the subtle details to enjoy a game (or just bring a LOT of beer). In English "to master" generally means being able to compete with the best of the best, and you're right. The problem with team-based shooters is that they are hard to follow unless you actually played the game at a competitive level because there is no single point of focus. | ||
