I like watching the Overwatch league but the time schedule is just too long. I think they should revert back to the old schedule of starting at 2 P.M. That’s because right now the last match starts at 8 P.M. and ends around 10 P.M. That’s just way too late and I still have to go to school. Starting at 2 P.M. also makes it easier on others that’s not in the U.S. For example in Europe they have to watch it at midnight right now, that’s just too late. If you push it back, at least it’ll be easier for everybody. Or you can just extend the schedule from Wednesday to Saturday to Tuesday to Saturday. And have two matches a day. This is just a suggestion to make the league even better for everybody.
I have heard that they chose to play at the times they did because their priority is good viewing times for people who come out to the arena. Too much earlier or later and they are afraid they won’t fill the arena. And it isn’t too late or early for the players themselves. Gives them all plenty of time to prepare without needing to stay up too late.
It’s not optimal for everyone, but it never will be. And it makes some sense that priority #1 should be good match times for players
but maybe they can do two matches a day and extend it to starting in tuesday
Or, you can just watch the games in the following day, when they are replayed, on the OWL twitch.
But then I don’t think you get the league tokens. Most days the games end at like 2 am for me, and I’m east coast U.S. Which is apparently when the big league token drops happen.
It’s easy to just start the stream and leave it running in the background at super-low quality if you’re just interested in the tokens. You can also schedule your computer to shutdown automatically with certain programs.
The only games I have a hard time watching is the very last matches and sometimes I just have to go to bed without watching them but will leave the browser open.
It sucks not watching games i’m interested in live, though.
That’s what I did. But if they’re going to do something like giving tokens through watching then they should make it so that you can get it without having to watch live. Have it so that you can get 1 token per game you watch on the vods too.
but only live gives you tokens, that’s just the problems
