Designing around what is interesting to watch is bad for the game

Listen, I am not against LCS, the pro scene, or esports in general but a game has to be a game first. The fact that abilities and champions are designed around what is fun to watch instead of what is fun to play is toxic to the game in general.

The game needs to be fun first, and the rest second. The game is still fun, and a lot of the mechanics that are fun to watch are also fun to play, but removing or changing mechanics that were fun to play simply because they werent exciting to watch is bad.

Essentially, strategy isn't fun to watch, action is. League is supposed to be both, which means there will be an element that is inherently not fun to watch happen. If you remove strategy because action is more fun to watch, the game will EVENTUALLY degrade into a summoners rift mortal combat.
