however there is another reason why i kinda stopped watching sc2 The quality of twitch and streaming services (but twitch especially) is atrocious. It really spoils my enjoyment so i just watch recommended games at my leisure later. Or i watch games in client eg dota. | ||

I think Blizz can do things to gain more viewers: free the game but it will not happend (next extension but maybe 1 year after it). Make the game better and better with some drastic change with a full active help of progamers. One of the main problem making the developement and the balance so slow is because the game is divised in three extensions. They should make the last one a campaign only and start to balance/delet/had units. | ||

There is no other point you 'developped' to give thoughts on ... There are other reasons Chess will never be a competetive e-sport. And there are even more reasons old movies won't ever become competetive esports. I don't think I need to list those reasons. | ||

Silly to hear opinions like this claiming flashiness is needed. Dota is pretty ugly to the non-trained eye, horrible aesthetics, terrible looking characteristics, but yet is one of the largest games because you can sorta(if untrained eye) still see the finess in everything. Starbow already has shown it looks much better in every way compared to SC2 when it comes to just "seeing" skill(opinion of course), and yet this game is "slowed down". My dad watched some games with me one day while I was folding laundry and he was very impressed with the tactical situations that arose even in pvp which is dragoon vs dragoon for the first 8 or so minutes usually haha. | ||

Thought he was gonna make a really well argued point about how the RTS genre is stagnating in terms of mechanics, but we got this ill informed piece of content instead. | ||

I would more say RTS is stagnating because now there are no RTS games where you build anything. I miss the base building RTS so much like age of empires, the way age of empires/starcraft are done are what an RTS should be. I keep hoping it'll make a resurgence and can have more then once choice, but alas right now it's FPS/MMO  . | ||

So in this scenario, peaple would not have to really be focus on the macro part. Thats one of the reasons why LoL work better. The casual public just watch and enjoy seeing the actions without necessary understanding all what is happening background. Starcraft have to be more heavy micro, so by having more micro units focused. The best exemple is the marins micro against zerg banneling. If all the races was able to have more micro heavy units, the game would be more entertaining for every one. Like it was in BW but blizz have some "pride" and don't want to insert to the game units/mechanic of it. The big issue is it lead to one battle of 20sec witch say who will win the game. | ||

I just think the game needs to be tuned in such a way that promotes near-constant action. A lot of people have been complaining that SC2 games lack actions, mostly that the games tend to be passive and then climax into a single 30 second fight that determines the winner, which by definition is actually pretty anticlimactic. I would welcome a new RTS that would learn from WC3, SC2 and the more recent MOBA games. | ||

Dark maps in SC2 I think exacberate this problem. But as a counter-point, I find team fights 5v5 in mobas incredibly confusing to watch because once you combine spells, there are so many elements packed into a small ball in the centre of the screen that it is hard to distinguish. This is despite me playing LoL on and off. | ||

Take a 15yo kid and make him watch predator or alien... or conan. He will say to you that you have shitty taste in movie. Also those bashing comments without making point is a pain to read are you serious? find me a 15yo kid who DOESENT think those movies are awesome edit: ok maybe not conan but come on the first predator movie and second alien are like the peak of my child hood | ||

I can watch Starcraft tournaments till late in the night, however, I never find myself grinding ladder games late into night unlike in many other games where I can play at more leisure. I do not think that RTS games couldn´t be as popular as MOBA games if there would be other aspects than 1v1 ladder to it like in Starcraft. I know that for example in LoL it is popular to play vs. AI. In Starcraft you pretty much just play 1v1 if you play a lot. | ||
