I hit the like button because i think the game has e sport potential.
But where do you take the idea from that this would work with 32 players? I am quite sure that this technically isn't possible but there is no question that it would not work gameplaywise. Imagine just 10 of these players fighting in one spot. It would all fall apart...
I would love to see a 1on1 tournament game mode where you take turns in dueling and can watch the others fight. To really make it into this eSport thing though, I don't know...
Also, anything above maybe 6on6 (if even that) is unrealistic and won't happen in for honor, and may that simply be because the whole netcode probably had to be reworked from the ground up.
A tournament mode would make much more sense in an esport enviroment than a team gank mode.Originally Posted by GewaltSam Go to original post
Agreed. For Honor is great for spectators. It is even injoyable for people who lack deeper understanding of the game, which is not something you could say of many other big esports titles. LoL for example looks rediculous for non-gamers, which results in all those puzzled journalists when they try to explain why 30.000 people sit in a stadion and stare at a screenOriginally Posted by DesperateRook53 Go to original post![]()
1v1 duels in this game will likely not make it e-sports at all actually. Maybe in a very small niche fashion but nothing really noteable. Actual focused fighting games are still the little brother in the e-sports world and this game does not meet their level for complexity, skill and variety as far as 1v1 goes.Originally Posted by DesperateRook53 Go to original post
4v4 Dominion has a much better chance of carving out it's own spot in e-sports as team games generally do better and in this case is much more exciting to watch for spectators. Also more strategy and whatnot to speak about, not to mention the hype outnumbered situations could make for great viewing.
There is truth to that. Dominion is more appealing to the spectator and maybe more exciting because there are more factors involved.Originally Posted by CaptainPwnet Go to original post
Personally, I enjoy watching the duels more than dominion, but that might change once the fighting in dominion gains quality.
I hope there will be room for both. E-sport tournaments could follow the format of olympic penthatlon, where the teams have to proove themselves in different competitions. Teams would have to fight 2 Dominion matches first, then in a 1vs1-winner-stays tournament, then a brawl of the two champions of each team and then a final duel if the result is a draw.
That would be quite unique, like For Honor itself. On the other hand i do not know the esport scene good enough to really know if it could work.![]()
