Declining Influencer Viewerships & LOR
It doesnt take a mathematician to see declining viewerships for LOR on YouTube
Graphlr going from 100k last year to 10k per video this year
Mogwai going from 300 k to 30k
And I wanted to explore a little why that is.
Part of it is that I think rotation was to blame, and not rotation itself but the general botched handling of eternal ladder.
Having legacy players have to wait 3 months just to play their favorite format online competitively was a dumb move.
Furthermore Having 3/4 of the community tell them eternal isn't a real format and was just a dumb mass hallucination we all were having split the community down the middle in a really bad way.
So yes a 90% decline in long term viewership as a direct result of LOR's poor handling of rotation was likely the cause.
On the plus side if you were patient...like insanely patient you got to play eternal ladder again and it was just as good or better than it was last season
But players aren't patient they'll hop to the next thing in a heartbeat and thats what happened. Sorry guys it doesn't matter if you love standard or eternal the botched transition sundered the community and it will take a long time to recover.
