Dreadnaught, Heroes Content, and You
Mochrie1713Hey Dread, glad you're still involved in Heroes :)
Coming from a player's perspective, I think it would've been an interesting move to host a player-draft as its own event before the show. Make a whole thing out of it! Fanfare, more wacko analysis, suspense, etc.
FuenteOverall I really enjoyed CCL. My feedback below:
Likes:
The drama between streamers is incredibly entertaining, and I like the little promotions on different platforms that you guys used (youtube, twitter, reddit, etc.).
Watching a competitive match where I can listen to the comms and strategies of the teams from their perspective is infinitely more entertaining to me than just watching shoutcasted matches. It adds a lot more to the "story" to each game because I can be on a teams entire journey as opposed to only seeing their play during each game. This includes both watching their practice sessions as well as their comms during games.
I like that it's competitive, but everyone isn't at the super top range of the game. Seeing teams be more limited by things like small hero pools adds a layer of unique draft complexity that's fun to watch.
Dislikes:
- Team balance can be pretty hard. There was a team in this set that seems to be a cut above the rest, which made those matches less interesting. Not sure if you can make some wacky rule here to change things up when it happens, but I think for this kind of league, competitive, fun matches are more interesting than trying to showcase the highest skill possible at all times.
Ideas:
I'd love to see statistics as people play in the league multiple times, even if they're meme stats. Things like who has the best KDA, who gets caught out of position the most often, and who is the clearest 1-trick would be fun things to bring up during and between games.
Overall I loved it. Thanks so much to everyone for putting it together.

Statistics are something that we are already looking into and I really like the idea of meme stats as well. Thank you for the tips and I hope things are going well <3
FuenteThey are!
Oh also one more thing.
We need you to cast some of those games.
