I think it’s clearly a mode that demands a competitive time investment. It won’t appeal to the average OW player, and that’s ok. It’s not replacing the base game. Not everything has to be for everyone.
Sure it is competitive - that is what the exciting part about it is.
Not sure what you mean by an average player ?
Surely you don’t mean they have designed the game for the 0.3%
Are they again trying to please the streamers ?

I really wanted Doomfist next season, but just for you, I will pray for Mauga. Bring Mauga to Stadium so that he can ignore the competition and get our hearts pumping. This is supposed to be fun!
I don’t mean average by rank or skill. I mean the average player who has a life and is more likely to play quickplay than anything else. Most players don’t grind competitive or even touch the mode at all.
Stadium seems meant for more hardcore players that plan to sit and play uninterrupted for a couple of hours at a time, learn the available items and powers, and put time into climbing. Despite how Blizz framed it, I don’t think it’s going to be very accessible to most players.
Wrong.
Stadium is meant for player who enjoy playing any hero.
I am not in that bracket.
Maybe I will wait till my desired hero gets the update.
