On the other hand LoL is boring as fuck to spectate: first you see some laning, then you see some teamfights where you think "wtf is happening", then the teamfight is over. SC2 > LoL as spectator sport IMO. SC2 is no where near perfect as a spectator sport, while an accomplished SC2 player is way more rare than a LoL player as the game is way more mechanically challenging and awe inspiring due to the control needed to play. The problem is that most SC2 games follow a timeline of a) Oh he got all-inned game is over in 5-8 minutes b) Oh they are both macroing up! This is going to be crrrrazzz--- one big 3 second battle and its GG. SC2 should be the better spectator sport but the game design is stopping that from happening. Where as the moba games are really not that exciting to watch, but when you compare them to the current SC2 they are way more exciting. Even in the character selection start there is so much damn depth its crazy, and most importantly each Moba game has TONS of key battles all over the place, and you know what happens most of the time they win a key fight? They go back and slowly build that advantage by farming more and growing it. Imagine how bad these MOBA games would be if it was like SC2. OH THEY ACED THE TEAM OH MAN Oh gg what a great 15 minute fight! o.0 | ||

I also see it's inspired by Strelok not having any major wins in the last idk how many months since HotS. I'm not one for picking in pros, but in this case, the frustration at a lack of total results seems to be pretty obvious here; some of these critiques seem to be so tied more personal issues than widespread blizz issues, such as the "Why are there so few terrans QQ." | ||

It isn't. They talked to progamers and Blizzard said that all of them were super bias towards their own race, which was not helpful. | ||

Most of the chat channels are always empty and the ones to talk to people about learning the game or playing at lower leagues are non existent. | ||

I would have said this anyway, Blizzard can't rely solely on programers to keep SC2 going, then you'll end up with a gutted game like cod4 | ||

Making the game fast is a popular demand during WOL alpha. Especially TL had a strong attitude on this back then. So Blizzard listened and increased the game speed during WOL alpha. It turned out, it's too fast... How ironic. | ||

They said talking to progamers is not as helpful as people would think. They find it better to discuss balance with other folks in the community who are more objective, aka Artosis, Day 9 and others. | ||
