So in the past couple weeks of streaming Dawngate I think I might just stream for the last month of Dawngate because I think the numbers will be back as people realize that it's actually ending and maybe then the queue times won't be fifty minutes long. I'll be honest Dawngate has some interesting mechanics and some things about it, but the queue times make it unplayable for most people right now unless you just luck out hard and get fifteen minute queues sometimes. As enjoyable as most mobas are I will say Dawngate isn't the most enjoyable. That's not to say it's not a fun game only issue is and it's one I keep running across is that when a team gets a lead on the other it just spirals out of control from there. Not just a little bit, but a huge amount to the point of it feels like one kill in Dawngate is like 5 in League. So I'm not going to stop streaming it entirely but for the most part I will be.

Here's why I want this game to be successful and attempt to sway you to keeping this game alive! EA is a company known for shutting down games that didn't do as well as they wanted. Dawngate is a perfect example of this. They wanted league's numbers for a MOBA game of their own so they bought out Waystone games to attempt this. I want to stream this game and show them how much a dedicated community they have that wants to keep this game alive. We may not be millions, but that didn't stop Runescape from thriving and still to this day from thriving.
The game itself has some flaws sure but every game does! I personally found very few, it was a well versed game with a new style. Dawngate is hugely focused around the idea that a "hero" can do any "role" within the game. Sure there are some better than others, but still you could do almost as good as them since the "meta" of that game is no "meta" at all and personally I love that idea. The map is also focused around not three, but only 2 lanes and a huge jungle with 2 wells on either side. The jungler could easily go to these wells and farm up for themselves and stop the enemy teams passive economy gain which last I checked no other moba/dota currently does that. Yea in Dota 2 you can deny creeps, but never stop the passive gold gain and to some extent you can do that in league, but once more never the passive gold. So it was a whole new element that I've never seen before and that made me happy to see that. Sure you could compare the graphics to league, but how many art styles are in the world? not enough to stay "unique" in my opinion!
So like I said I want to attempt to show EA how wrong they are for shutting down a game just because they weren't seeing their own "ideal" numbers and instead show them what it means to have any kind of community even if only a few hundred thousand because that's still a huge number for any game!
Here's my stream if you want to come and help me! twitch.tv/magerosn also my friend Ninjatrigger will be joining me for a lot of it!
