Is the new Ultimate too hard?

[MilkieTea]

I've been playing this game since 2010 and the only times I've ever watched it on twitch are live letters and my close friend if he's in a fight h haven't cleared.

Watching random people on twitch play the same game I'm logged into is just unappealing. Maybe it's an age gap thing.

It's an eSports thing, mostly. To make an apt comparison - Worlds 2022 was one of the biggest events of the year, gathering an audience larger than the superbowl, just to watch top League of Legends players compete for a prize pool of millions. The majority of this audience was also logged into League, playing and watching at the same time.

Since the WF race is a competition, and an acknowledged one at that, it stands to reason that it's a similar event to Worlds 2022 (though the presentation is different). You're still rooting for your fave team of players to "win", or the underdogs to "win" etc.

Then out of the WF race (same with out of Worlds 2022), you'll be watching these people to see them play, or have fun etc. It's kind of like watching a real sport that you also happen to play.

They do need to figure something out to make them more enjoyable to watch. Not gonna draw people in if it looks miserable. And if it doesn't help bring in new players I cannot see it being worth the dev time involved for how little engagement it gets.

This is one of the worst games to watch ngl lmao.

It might actually be even more boring than watching WoW arenas and M+.

It’s too hard because you need real life coordination. The dedication to it isn’t for anyone who can just go in and do it like a dark souls game. That’s a design flaw. It’s created for the most toxic of people. Who lets be honest demand the highest performance which requires you to install mods to know your performance.

Maybe the solution isn’t 3rd party mods but in game mods created by the developers themselves. For these fights players could choose specific developers mods that assist in the fight? Or just stop making game modes for the high tier toxic community. With that much toxicity comes great corruption.

Or just... Don't engage in the content if it's too difficult?

Not everyone is, but yeah let's paint everyone in a group with a broad brush because of the actions of a few. Plenty of teams, competing that are streaming and not using cheats. Just because you don't like a group of people doesn't give you the right to bash them all because of a minority of the group.

ultimates will never be "too hard"

Hahahahaha.

It's supposed to be hard. Personally, I would love to have a weapon or two from Ultimate. However, I know that I am not the target audience, and I really don't think I'm capable of juggling that much for 20 minutes straight, and that's okay. Some things just aren't meant for me.
