I feel like shoutcasting hasn't improved
Its really hard when “HE USED INVULN, OTHER GUY USED INVULN, THAT ONE BLINKED, THAT ONE FOLLOWED WITH A BLINK” is happening 24/7. :c
More likely it would be really boring saying “mesmer 1 dropped a well. mesmer 2 dropped a well, mesmer 3 dropped a well. mesmer 4 dropped a well. oh wait, here comes a rev. there is crystal hibernation 1, there is crystal hibernation 2. mesmer dropped well 1” repeat and repeat
What do you expect from a game that’s not a real Esport and everything is being artificially created by the company trying to push something that’s not there.
Again this game has 0 infrastructure in place, the company just set up the marketing portion of it and hope things work out.
Major balance issues, horrible spectating tools in the client, no real community that really supports GW2 pvp like other games did when they became Esports et cetera the list goes on. (Nearfing visual effects is not the answer to better spectating)
With all the major problems Heart of Thorns has introduced, the last thing Arena Net should be doing is trying to make MMO pvp an Esport, a terrible investment of time and money.
Fix the other game modes the majority of paying customers par take in, this is a MMO not a Fighting game, FPS, RTS, MOBA.
Blizzard is able to focus on World of Warcraft Arena crap because rest of their game is highly successful for 10+ years, they don’t have major core issues with other game modes like Guild wars 2 has.
And even World of Warcraft Pvp as an Esport is a joke to most of the Esport community, even Rob Pardo the god tier developer regrets adding Arenas into WoW.
