How can ActiBlizzard even compete?
>half of the top 10 are blizz games
I dunno m8
>>344990049
just 2 are good or decent, all others suck so bad but thanks to nostalgia/oldfans/blizzdrones
activision killed blizzard
>>344990049
The only game that can even compete with Dota 2 is their shitty mobile app game. Why are they even still a game developer?
>HotS that high
actually impressed
>>344990157
also HotS and SC2 are only on top at the moment because of dreamhack
>>344990186
It's bots.
>>344990186
>Thats high
iksde
people are tired of watching games, there's only viewers of personalities at this point
>people actually thought ow was going to kill cs
>>344990314
It was always viewers of personalities. It hasn't been purely about video games for many years. Early in the justin.tv days.
>>344990314
What
>>344989912
>The amount of twitch viewers a game has is directly proportional to how good it is
OP is shitposting
>>344990495
Well LoL and Dota are better than CS GO and OW so i guess its kinda right
>>344990252
LoL streams are all bots then.
>>344990186
There's an on-going major tournament. Same for SC2. Those games usually average like 3k viewers or some shit when there are no big things going on.
>>344990582
No shit.
>>344990571
A tip to you my good sir ;)
>>344990474
They just mean that people watch streamers and YouTubers because of the personality of the player, not so much the gameplay or for genuine interest in the game, save for how the player reacts to or comments on the game
>HotS
That still exists? Honestly impressed.
>>344990603
They only get views because they are promoted on the front page of Twitch. Blizzard jews it's way up all the time, I'm sure most of the people competing at dreamhack are being paid.
>>344990571
Uh oh, you just triggered the Overshills anon, be careful next time.
Maybe people actually play the games instead of watching someone play it for them? Or is /v/ endorsing lets plays now?
>>344990571
LoL and dota are absolute shit what the fuck are you on?
>>344990710
Apparently it has """""millions""""" of players.
>>344990761
Pretty much.
>>344990571
Here's your upvote :) I also enjoy watching streams of said games while a large black man culturally enriches my tranny girlfriend's forbidden love tunnel. Did you see that last Rick and Morty, btw?
>>344989912
>competitive HotS
haha fucking blizzard and their forced e-sport
>>344990853
P sure he means across all their games. Which I also doubt. I guess OW is doing kinda alright atm but I doubt anything else is.
>>344989912
>17k HotS viewers
That shit usually has 3k at best.
>>344990761
>I'm sure most of the people competing at dreamhack are being paid.
well they do play videogames for a living so...
>>344989912
The fact WoW even ranks so highly ever is a bit impressive imo. The game is as boring as watching paint dry to watch. Mostly people watching beta?

Blizzard is the best company in gaming by far. They provide more content than anyone else, and do it at a good price. Overwatch was a masterpiece of a game, and no amount of tf2 shitposting and Valvedrone retardation can dismiss this fact.
Blizzard isn't only doing good because of marketing, it's because they genuinely care about their playerbase and respect gamers from either console and pc. So fuck off with this shitposting, Blizzard will, and ALWAYS will be the best company around.
>>344991175
No, being paid just to attend. Nobody gives a flying fuck about HotS.
>>344991327
you're trying too hard
>>344991327
Have a (You) for the effort.
You'll have to try harder next time though.
>>344991327
That's some terrible bait.

in all honesty, they have a lot of ground covered.
>>344991462
>>344991509
>>344991538
Stay salty, Valvedrones. I hope your shitty company goes under after they get sued.
>>344991676
>valvedrone
but i mostly play quake...
Heroes of the Storm isfun
>>344991840
If you want a newbie-friendly MOBA LoL isbetter
>>344991775
No excuse, play the superior game that is called Overwatch. It's only $40 and is a good way to have a lot of fun, make friends, and be social. It honestly is fun, in my opinion if you don't have It you should probably get it.
>>344992091
the skill ceiling is too low
>>344930564
>DBD in the top 2 rows
Who /Dwight Power/ here?
>>344990451
>people actually thought ow was going to kill cs
It took CSGO four years to reach 20 million sales with most of them sold for $6 in the steam sale to hackers. Overwatch got 10 million in a week at $60, and will never be sold that low.
>>344992167
Nice try Valvedrone. The skill ceiling is plenty high. It requires good thinking and judgement. Can you pull off webm related in tf2? No.
>>344992287
whoa...
>>344990930
>having a compendium is not forcing an esport.
>>344990925
Thanks for the giggle
>>344992259
>Overwatch
>10 million
Nope
>>344992287
>>344992498
Yep.
>>344989912
>people playing

You know...
>>344990930
>dotards literally give their money away to the chinks like the good valvedrones they are

>>344992287
whoa... this is... epic...
>>344992551
Gonna have to post source Blizzshill
>>344989912
>Hearthstone Blizzards biggest success
>Pokemon GO Nintendos biggest success
This is truly the darkest timeline
>>344992287
whoa guys he pressed Q
hide your wifes son
>>344992259
those 10 million casuals arent gonna turn their game into an esport tho.
>>344992287
>That fov
Makes me literally sick.
>>344992659
>>344992287
A Q press is a Q press, you can't say it's only half.
>>344989912
>StarCraft 2
>15k
WHAT THE FUCK the scene is basically dead, who is watching this game? Not saying it's a bad thing...
>>344992906
Well I turned it on literally because of this thread. I haven't watched in years though.
>>344992807
didnt pokemon go reach that in like a day ?
>>344992906
Bots.
>>344992419
>>344992521
>>344992642
>>344992791
>>344992805
>>344992838
Stupid valvedrones shouldn't you be playing tf2 aka dead game? Go away stop shitting up Blizzard threads.
>>344993060
pokemon go is free
>>344992906
You have to realize there is a reason people laugh at twitch views, around 40-50% of the total viewers on twitch at any given time are bots.
>>344992287
>playing with default fov
damn son i even like overwatch and that made me mad
I never understood how people base things around streaming. Who gives a shit how many people are watching a game? People should be playing it, not watching it.
>>344989912
Runescape has no business having 13k viewers, jesus christ. Twitch fags are mentally ill.
>>344993185
since streaming is popular, it's basically a benchmark of how popular a game is. what's so hard to understand about that?
>>344993290
some games are easier to stream and more entertaining to watch.
>>344992801
Why not? The CSGO scene is sustained by casuals gambling skins.
>>344993078
no, anon. i was genuinely impressed. you should post some more sick plays.
>>344993290
The problem is more people follow the streamers than the games. You'll see some niche game climb to the stop for a day because SCHOOTYBOOTYX36 decided to play it and the people who watch him play LoL still watch him play anything else
>>344993290
>it's basically a benchmark of how popular a game is
Not really otherwise Cod, fifa and clash of clans would be at the top.
>>344993481
OW doesnt have trade-able skins
>>344993290
That's not true at all. When streamers like soda or LIRIK play random games that barely anyone plays, it's in the top 4-5 games. streaming is 90% about the streamer, 10% about the game. They should just be playing the game themselves anyways
>>344993564
this, its more of a benchmark of what popular streamers are playing
>>344993495
Oh alright, this is one from the other day.
>>344992807
>players
>not copies sold
>>344993692
You have to pay $60 to play it.
i've tried watching overwatch and the observers really suck
it's impossible to follow what's going on so it's not worth watching
>>344993862
Maybe you're just autistic
>>344993564
The top five games are some of the most popular in the world. They definitely beat Fifa and Cod
>>344993973
Why watch when you can play?
>>344993632
>When streamers like soda or LIRIK play random games that barely anyone plays, it's in the top 4-5 games.
the thing is, those games dont average a high amount of streamers.
>>344993564
>otherwise Cod, fifa
cod is dying and does fifa have any actual sales figures?
>>344994093
>streamers
viewers* although both are correct
>>344994093
I just don't understand why people enjoy twitch. People flock when a new games comes out and I just sit there thinking. "Why ruin a new game for yourself at 720p?"

TWO JUSTIN BIEBER SONGS IN THE TOP 10, where my #Beliebers @??
>>344994093
Lol fifa is one of the biggest games in the world, everyone plays it.
>>344993165
i hate the default everything, even had to switch melee to a better fucking button than what it was originally.
>>344994316
>hating on based bieber

Ask a sports fan. I'm sure theyve rationalized it by now
>>344994241

>streamer is really good
>streamer is doing a giveaway
>streamer is doing something unique(SaltyBet, TwitchPlays[x])

>>344994365
until i see some sales figures or something, im skeptical.
>>344992906
>>344993051
I gotta be honest since these posts that Zerg vs Terran match I just watched was entertaining.
I wouldn't quite say it was great. I'm always going to be disappointed at how slow and blobby SC2 is to this day. But it was good. It was entertaining.
>>344994241
I very rarely watch new games on twitch and only if I'm on the fence about buying it.
I usually watch competitive games orspeedrunning
>>344993815
It's 40$.
>>344994960
Do you never leave your basement?
>>344995536
There's a hidden $40 version for a single platform but most copies will be sold at $60.
>>344995752
look up anecdotal evidence
>>344993651
>that slow turn as his brain tries to comprehend that he's staring at a wall
kek.
>>344993815
Koreans got the game for free
also they're probably counting free beta players as well
>mfw neo-blizzard
I remember when Blizzard was that cool game developer making Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo and vanilla WoW
>>344994316
>falling for the 'bieber is bad' meme
>unironically thinking he produces bad music
How can anyone even compete?
>>344996917
You remember Blizzard all but abandoning starcraft for like 8 years then coming in to reap the benefits of a community that grew in their absence for SC2?
>>344989912
>watching people play runescape
what is wrong with this generation
>>344997645
It's very comfy for a background stream.
>>344997645

I assure you everyone watching or playing Runescape in 2016 is 25+
>>344990845
Fuck you dota is ok
