| I think the more people watch those tournaments, who already play wow, the more people will realize and become aware of the actual extent of class imbalances, and the amount of counter compositions there are.
That is to say, it's often not about your skill, it's about what the composition of the other team is compared to your team.
Probably because I have way to much time, reading around after the last two tournaments (3v3 in both, 2v2 in one) those were the two biggest complaints from most of the spectators, and even the commentator of the live stream. Even members of the professional teams talked about the counter compositions, and how to deal with it, and the amount of disadantages there are associated with it.
2's were just limited to much to druid/something combination, priest/something combination.
3's seemed to be probably the best format. A bit more action than 2's, not as complicated as 5's. The commentator was able to basically keep up with what was going on. Again though, counter composition teams were a large part of the key to winning in this bracket.
I really don't see 5's being a good esport, because if you don't know what each class does, you're never going to be able to follow it on a live stream. There are way to many people doing way to many things, a commentator can't keep up. Talking about balance in this context does no good. |
