xQc explains why Overwatch is inaccessible compared to games like CS:GO Popular streamer and former professional Overwatch player Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel says the game is extremely inaccessible compared to other esports titles. xQc, who was recently banned from the game and claimed he was \u2018done\u2019 playing, compared Blizzard\u2019s title to Valve\u2019s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which is a much simpler concept to grasp as a new player or viewer. Overwatch has been criticised in recent weeks for being difficult to get to grips with as a new player with plenty of veteran players quitting the game and looking elsewhere due to burnout. xQc, has moved into variety streaming following his recent ban from Overwacth, added to that conversation on a recent stream by comparing Overwatch to CS:GO. The former Pro stated that if you asked a parent to watch both games, it\u2019s easier to see which one they would be able to follow. \u201cIf you said to your dad, let\u2019s watch a CS:GO game together and he knows nothing about the game, what does he see? He sees a motherfucker shooting an AK, trying to plant a bomb, it\u2019s that easy,\u201d the streamer stated. \u201cI have a gun, I shoot at you and you can see the enemies. It\u2019s that easy.\u201d \u201cPut your dad in front of a game of Overwatch and tell him to watch that. A flying monkey with a bubble is shooting across some witch that shoots little air, a purple beam of colours and a bunch of explosions on a moving spaceship. \u201cFor players that play the game, they\u2019ll watch it and like it but it\u2019s extremely inaccessible. And even for the ones who are casual, they don\u2019t want to watch it, they don\u2019t understand it.\u201d Overwatch is still a popular game as both a casual player and as an esport title but it\u2019s clear to see that frustrations from players is building. The second season of the Overwatch league begins in February and it\u2019ll be interesting to see if the viewership numbers change \u2013 positive or negatively \u2013 following all the recent negativity from players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
