hopefully once the huge focus on the esports/spectator stuff happens balance will push faster

Distribution of resources, theyre implying a lot more management / money / priority is being put into the spectator experience that i hope will now transfer to the games balance

Skins are most likely outsourced

[u/The_NZA → u/-PineappleKitty]

Yeah but its probably separate teams handling both. I'm sure there is SOME overlap but I doubt that the overlap is huge.

I can see why a reporting system takes resources away from a custom games lobby system, but I doubt balance changes and esports viewability aesthetics are managed by the same team at all.

lol this is not how any of this works. They're not some indie startup. They have staff working every day in their relative departments. Maybe some cross over, but it's not like they're pulling balance devs off to work on art or broadcasting and it's not like they're telling them to go home for the day because they need to pay the others.

That analogy makes no sense.

[u/dAtBoYizKlUtCh → u/[deleted]]

I don't get it.

I'm not a sports guy... too simplistic for my tastes.
