Should I stream Overwatch on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 37 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. Overwatch has 707 streamers live, so you would open around #245 of 708 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.

About 10,416 of the 15,791 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 31 each if you split it with the 339 other English streams below them. You would start around #245, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.

Only 15,791 of the 26,149 viewers here (60%) are watching in English. 341 of the 707 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

“Blizzard rigs the matchmaking to give you easy games with good teammates then after a few win streaks the match making will pair you with teammates 5 to 10 ranks lower than you and enemies 5 to 10 ranks higher just to make you lose and keep coming back to play…”

“I hate you, Blizzard. First you rigged Hearthstone so I wouldn't win, and now you're doing the same thing in Overwatch putting newbies on my team while the opposing team gets world champions. P.S. After putting another 40 hours into competitive mode, I’m absol…”
