I haven’t played LoL in … oh… 12, 13 years I think.
I did enjoy Arcane.
I like cute stuff. Or at least: I like an unassuming character that turns out to pack a punch. I like that way more than the typical muscular, big badass type character.

I don’t watch streams or most content created. I like the written guides for stuff and I often find valuable information in wowhead comments.
The people who transcribe interviews are also amazing because it is far easier to google and find reference to something written than someting uploaded as a vid/vod.
Building up an audience and becoming a content creator is hard work. It’s very slow to start usually and gaining traction is the hardest part. Maintaining viewership and building on it is also tough. Not something that has ever interested me.
I play the game to have fun, and for some streaming is fun, for me it’s like my worst nightmare. It’s that playing alone, vs playing being watched. I just can’t. Nor do I want to open myself up to that.
Best of luck if you do decided to pursue it.

You make a fair point, honestly I actually have been genuinely enjoying the streams, granted not as long as normal streamers are, I only stream for about 9 hours a week but hey consistency is key.
But I love when I have one to two people talking it’s awesome, sure sometimes you get adds from bots but oyu can just ignore those.
I like getting to play and having reaction to my gameplay, when I do good I like hearing that I did good by having my hype man tell me i did good.
Not to mention having a few people that come back regularly and you remember them, means the world to know they want to be there.
Knowing I make them smile atleas tmakes me feel like its worth it.

There are various guides/articles out there to give pointers:-
I’ll look into them and see if I can scavenge some info, thanks

I personally do not mind all the class analysis and guide videos. It makes classes more easily accessible instead of relying on hearsay from other players in game.
I have to admit I do not watch that many wow related videos these days. I used to watch a lot from casual fun videos to self improvement video guides from people like Preach, but these days I only check the boss guides for the raid (heroic at the start, then mythic ones as we progress from one boss to another).
For streaming what I found important is personality and interactivity. I remember that in case of views the first…8 seconds is the most important, as if you do not catch one’s interest in that time they will likely leave and not come back.
A good way to build out an initial viewer base is to find a game that garners interest and you are interested in it, and stream that on release. There will be plenty looking for initial impressions of a game so it is a good time to get more traffic.
Regardless on how you approach it as long as you enjoy doing it continue to do so. Always do it for your own enjoyment, and consider the viewers as a nice bonus to it.

We have the worst content creators of any game I have ever played.
Preach actually made some somewhat decent videos when he still played WoW, but his RWF and elitist bias made a lot of his conclusions terrible, like hating Corruptions for their passive damage, which is what them good actually (see Twilight devastation).
Also funny how he got the exact game he wanted. Boring deterministic loot and harder than ever with infinite class ´´skill expression´´ and he then immediately quit. Good bit.

Yeah, the correct reason to hate corruptions was their negative effects. Punishing players with a reward was the most insane ill-conceived idea ever. I hate, absolutely hate, kiss-curse type stuff.
But this is supposed to be a positive thread!
That’s the key. Do it because you like it.

I watch Taliesin’s videos most of the time. Mostly just to see what’s happening in game. I like their humour too.
I know they’re a little Polyannic towards the game a lot of the time but that’s fine.
I don’t watch their twitch feeds etc., just the 20 minute news videos once a week or so.
Back in MOP I used to watch guides for LFR and dungeons. But I don’t really do that content anymore.

Taliesin is a disingenuous cretin. Preach makes dogwater content these days. Bellular has always been a clickbait clown.
The Wow content scene is largely driven by the whims of the larger creators. Youtube is dominated by ‘tier lists’ , ‘what’s best in this patch’ and ‘fail highlights’ from hardcore. Twitch is just whatever seasonal rubbish Sodapoppin and morons of his ilk are pushing.

This thread was not meant for slander or insults towards the current existing content creators, I’d request that we refrain from further stain of characters
OK, content police.
Call me what you like, but this is supposed to be a neutral debate on content types, which are preffered and which are disliked.
Not to blatant attack already existing content creators, regardless of what they say or do.
