The current draft format alienates new players:
Well, As Zakken already said, and actually he even told me to join the WDL, so there diffintely is no bias to the people who join in on the league. I am happy that, if at any time there was a limited entry that there no longer is. WHy? Well it shows growth. Maybe when, and I honestly don't know if this is true, but, when, the scene was young perhaps spots were limited because having players that were known and could maket the competitive scene was the goal. Now that, as Zakken stated, WDl has these established players, that have shown that they will be a parto of every season, more spots are available.
The fact that you didn't get drafted, sorry ot hear this, but even that is a good scene, it shows that theres more sharks out there wanting in on the league, which helps expand it.
Second Topic: WDL should include more game types
Sure this would be ideal, but I think, or from what I have understood from the community, there is much less drive towards the duel scene here, tdm and what not, than in times past. As in, it's lot harder to find people to duel, remember this port is full of old players, who, either have a family, or have in real life obligations, and, find it hard to even, get in on there games. Yesterday as I watched the game wind down, I had a chat open, and as soon as that person finished their game, they dc'ed from irc and left. So this is also a case. The community doesn't seem to be demanding anything but ctf, so why supply it?
3rd Topic:
There are too many streams / sources of content
Well I see both points here, but from a media stand point, the more resources the better, what do I mean? Well sure, in an ideal world, one channel for everything would be a great idea, but from experience, its super bad to do it this way, why? Well, what happens when DS cant stream of Dev can't, WDL etc.. do we lose an opportunity to watch the game? Most likely, so in my opinion, in this case, less is not more. Plus, from what I gathered the audience is short as it is, we don't want to make it shorter by offering the same set of options, remember, not everyone likes the same streamer, and options are always good!
4th Topic: Trophies etc
Well, this is quiet hard, but it would be nice, I know another port who actually in the map selection screen has first second and third place winners of last season, that could be implemented,although a lot cooler idea would be, a simple tag next to that persons name, singnifying that this person one such and such, or even a special marine color can be used to segnify this, whats the problem? Well, although its nice you also run into the issue of... players having to answer that question? What does such and such mean next to your name, also, who is going to develop these things, as I said previously it's hard these days to get doomers to work on projects like this.
As far as cash prizes, this is genrally a no go, for commuunities this small, why? Well, it will cost more money to the port than players? What do I mean? Well, the moneys gotta come from somewhere, and what have I seen in the past?
Streamers for example, getting that special number of followers so as to have a donate button, once they get it, the users bolt out the door, and pretend like its not there. I remember when nintendo banned smash from being competitive and cancelled a tournament and all that. What did the smash forums do, 24 hour stream to get the money, to the point where nintendo had to back down, and let it run. But, again, is the doom community that strong anymore?
Or are people just here to play meet some cool people and just chill, well I think this is the case, which is somethign I actualy like, sure I give my services, but because I want to, A lot of the things are just time consumers.
But eh I like the ambition of writing the post. I am always will to help, and good write up !
