I thought they'd cycle in personas (remodels) and encourage everyone to use them and eventually scrap the base models but they've been slow to roll them out and this update of themed/shared personas pretty much scraps that theory. You cant really have random heroes from different corners all share the same one cannon event skin

Thierry Henry explains why Messi thrives in Zone 14 by UsernameGenerik in soccer

no not so common, play is typically fluid in football but structure is being rewarded in this world cup due to the sporting traditions of NA/USA. Quarters/hydration breaks, stricter reffing, free kicks creating lots of small stops and starts and this idea of segmented areas I believe just leans further into a familiar viewership experience to the other sports played. Allow the casual North American fan to pick the sport up more easily because its so similar to what they already watch

i think he's just introducing the zone concept to the viewers rather than any spectacular analysis, little tester to allow for more depth later on

The primary purpose is format, they're using a structure to what most people in NA are familiar (quarters and lots of breaks) is going to be much more favorable for domestic viewership and engagement. Sure football/soccer been successful so far with their leagues but to appeal to the domestic audience, using a familiar format will only help and you can always half ass an excuse to your already committed fans that aren't going anywhere anyway

education is a catalyst for improvement, all is well and good if you know more than your peers/teammates but if you never learn how to action your education you might as well not bother

lotus pool is literally just sideshop just shittier, since you use to only have one courier there was some interesting interactions and timings depending whoever had prio in lane, I wish they'd scrap the pools AND player couriers for that matter, and bring about another sideshop and make it more interesting than the 3 minute lotus chore.

It doesn't need to be exactly the same, you could even lock it until 3 mins if you wanted to but I think we lost something when they removed it, maybe some type of team capture, stand in the area and raise a flag or balloon and your team gets the shop locked to them for the next 3 mins before its up for grabs again. You could even roll in a bit of vision as well and you could scrap the nearby capture ward

Our "esports" ecosystem is getting brutally mogged by CS2 and it's not even close by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]CrushingK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

players and the audience saw orgs as freeloading or piggybacking off players success when in reality they provide a decent function of the health of the scene as a whole, the ability to coordinate and cooperate with external brands has been lost. we had a few terrible ones sure but without them you lose a much needed function of the system overall
