I watched OW as well. I attended the first two championship matches as well.
1. I never had an issue keeping up. I would have loved more perspectives (the Twitch option had multiple ways to watch) and I think if they'd kept up with that, it would have been even better, but the default view was pretty solid.
2. Map/Objectives overviews were frequently done, especially in the early days. In fact, it was almost a joke "Of course we know how it's played!"
3. I'm sorry, but I can't believe you were watching the same streams. They were clear with the callouts of events happening and what was going on. For a game that is so fast-paced, they did an excellent job of keeping you aware of what was happening. Suggesting that was just "OOOHHH!!! Feed kill! OHHHH!" is not accurate in the slightest.
I think the issue might be this: " watched some Overwatch matches on TV "
I never watched the matches on TV. I always watched it via Twitch or YouTube. Maybe the TV matches were highly edited in some way that didn't translate well. I don't know. What I do know is that what you describe and what I saw were completely different.
- JohnBooty 5y agoYeah, this was some... Overwatch league thing on the local sports channel on cable. I admit that I didn't spend a ton of time watching it. Just a few minutes here and there, whenever I saw it on. It definitely sounds like it was quite different from what you were watching. Maybe it was just me, I don't know. I will certainly say that broadcasting esports just seems insanely hard.
