Fine robin <| sep |> agreed . that said i think the lying and dishonesty has never been more apparent and immediately obvious than in the Brexit and Trump campaigns . <| sep |> That ' s true , but I believe there are both pros and cons to a higher barrier of entry to a competitive level of play , and I firmly believe the pros outweigh the consThe two biggest pros I can think of areIt gives competitive players something to strive for . Knowing there is so much execution and depth to the game might be daunting to some , but to others it ' s extremely pleasant to know that everyone still has room to improve in many ways . Fighting games require a ton of dedication to be good at , pros can ' t just play casually and stay relevant since there ' s so much muscle memory involved . They spend thousands of hours trying to get better and they still make execution mistakes . This creates an extremely passionate competitive community . There ' s a reason the fighting game community is one of the most vocal in the eSports scene , everyone is invested into their games and very dedicated . Compare this to a more casual scene like Hearthstone or HoTS , where it ' s easy to get into and the skill ceiling isn ' t as high . Sure , it appeals way more to the casual player , but playing it competitively is frankly . just fucking boring . After a certain point there ' s just nothing else to learn , you see pro players complain or quit all the time because the game gets stale for them , because it ' s too easy , etc . Overwatch is already very friendly to casual players . Barrier of entry isn ' t that high , and IMO removing mechanical complexity from the game only dumbs down the game for the competitive players , while doing absolutely nothing for the casual crowd .
