Suggestions for streamers.

Heh, these aren't suggestions for improvement; they're just personal desires presented under a false pretense. There's one simple fact that dismisses half of these desires: the stream is about playing the game, not playing the game for the sake of the stream (for the vast majority of streamers currently). Therefore, the template is chosen based on what is interesting for the specific player and their opponent, and breaks and delays in the game also depend on both of them, and no one can predict them in advance. The idea of reducing the timer was a terrible one, especially combined with the "desire" to comment on every action as much as possible – I've said it before and I'll repeat it: speech is much slower than thought, and if you try to verbalize everything that comes to mind in the middle of a game (and often thoughts come and are implemented right during a turn, which eliminates reasoning during the opponent's turn), then by the beginning of the second week, the streamer will definitely be without a timer (verified and observed in other streamers). And simply talking for 5-6 hours straight is tiring, and if you also have to think hard at the same time, then by the end of the stream, you'll be completely exhausted. Want the perfect Heroes streaming machine? Become it yourself! And we will gladly watch. But for now, we will stream as each person deems necessary, and of course, do whatever we want during the opponent's turn :) Because this is a time to relax, plus many viewers switch to something else while it's not the streamer's turn. And finally: "suggestions" presented as instructions, and in an imperative tone, automatically put the recipients against their author, and even his sensible ideas can simply be ignored because of this.

A big and important plus
