Why has Overwatch failed to catch on as a spectator esport compared to CSGO/LoL/Dota/etc despite having far more money invested into it?

because literally everything about that game is orchestrated and manufactured by bl*zzard

The first thing you need for a good spectator esport is a game that's fun to watch.
Which overwatch isn't.

terrible to play, terrible to watch

Trying too hard to make it an esport rather than making it a fun game

Youtube killed it, the twitch viewership was 100k+ but they moved to youtube and that was it.

trash game with and even worse viewing experience

>the twitch viewership was 100k+
yeah in season 1
GOATS and the game being stale cut that in half
$20mil buy-in btw

WOKE politics ruining the characters, game, and company

literally no one cares about that shit one way or the other outside of this dying chinese cartoon forum for edgelord faggots who can't stop saying nigger long enough to not get banned elsewhere

I watched a bit of it a while ago, the only thing that really seemed to matter was saving up ultimates then charging the other team and seeing who won the ultimate spam off.

Ecelebs can't take a knee and virtue signal during opening ceremonies. That's what sports fans like nowadays right?

take your meds

make your bed

imagine trying to have fun playing overwatch for any amount of time and then deciding the problem with the game is you can't say slurs in team chat

Because the game is in a genre that is hard to watch. FPS is a chore to show to people, hero shooters amplify the inherent confusion of the genre and add a burden of knowledge to the viewer.
CSGO works, because it's just "gun down the bad guys" for the most part.
Other popular esports are all top-down, which makes the action relatively easy to follow.

Overwatch also is designed in a way that doesn't really allow for star players, unlike these other games, it has much more team focus.

Literally a fake game made in laboratory I refuse this game was made by actual people and not assembled by machines

Blizzard SJWs

No grass roots. Blizzard can't seem to understand this. HotS always suffered the same fate.

Bland and boring both to play and to watch. A soulless "product".

Game should have been marketed as a porn game.

>use all of development time to create a fun casual hero shooter
>only invite CSGO pros into your closed beta
>CSGO pros want the game to be competitive
>make OW a competitive game last minute

gee I wonder why it's a failure

Clarity from all the bright particle effects and the observer team not being very good at showing the right angles of important information. Good vantage of a choke, switching to players that are on the flank looking for a play. It doesn't do a good job showing the angles, LOS, and space that a team occupy.

you sound like a gold dps instalocker.

>the same thread every day with the same answers and the same pictures

For fuck sake you already know why, I don't know if you work for blizzshit but fuck off. Your game will never rise back up, it's fucking DONE. Find a real job.

Got bored after playing the beta for 4-5 hours. Tried all the characters and most of my games were with that Reinhard guy and Lucio.

You sound like a retard who gobbles Blizzard's turds.

Honestly, even back when the game was at its best (OGN APEX tourneys), I thought the “it’s too hard to watch” thing was overstated: the game is just repetitive and boring, and people were assuming there was more of interest going on than there was in reality.

this game’s issue was always crap maps and dumb game modes. It should have had “story-driven” maps like HotS.

Too much shit going on to follow.

I know, I know: someone who plays OW will say, "Nuh-uh! I put in 1,000 hours and know what's going on!" Yes, but the average person finds it absolutely simpler to follow CSGO which is plant/defuse bomb and shoot the enemy.

For me it was the 4-0. Usually one team wiped another and it was clear after the first round

Nobody seriously wants videogames to be a big sport. I think zoomers enjoy watching competitive gaming but they enjoy sampling whatever they are playing not the same thing forever. There will never be a NBA for esports with exponential growth.

>plays 4-5 hours in beta
>has the knowledge to talk about pro esports scene that developed 2 years after launch

Wow. 5 hour andy.

Please tell us how deep your pathetic mobafps for drooling retards truly is, lead us towards enlightenment.

*fire at some shields in chokepoint n°549914953 building up ultimate to slowly progress on an oversimplified linear path because good map design and objectives are too confusing for blizzniggers*

they tried to sanitized the gameplay of a competitive game. the suit were happy but people who actually play and watch game weren't

>play 4-5 hours in beta
>get bored
Yes, is enough time to notice is shit.

Yes.

posts in esports thread. actual worms for brains from some of you retards.

Because modern Blizzard doesn't know how to balance games

>"why are you replying to OP?"
Guess you're legally retarded after all.
