LGMFL-Twitch Discussion

I'm not getting defensive by any means, nor am I trying to oppose the idea. I'm just making mention that streaming can lag the games for some of us. As I mentioned I will definitely give it a shot and use any suggestions that may be made to make it smoother (thanks [MENTION=5992]mackay 27[/MENTION]). At the end of the day, if i can pull it off I'd prefer to be streaming anyways

 

Yea I didn't think you were coming off as defensive. I was more just trying to get the thread back on track and not have anyone thinking that they need to stream or that I was insinuating that.

 

I dont think Perri should stream.. I wouldnt want to see all of his (lack) of money plays and/or skill.

 

when did I ever mention that as a reason to not stream...?

 

What's a money play

 

After playing my week 1 game, I think streaming has an effect on connection regardless of who is streaming. My opponent streamed our game and I found it to be slightly delayed and heavy. Not sure if it was the stream or just the connection between the 2 of us overall, but from past experiences once streams are turned off mid-game there is a noticeable difference.

At the end of the day though, it is cool to have streams up so people can watch.

 

it looked fine watching it but what a come back in OT. i can see how it could be frustrating if its lagging a bit tho.

 

yeah to look at it, you wouldnt be able to tell. it wasnt choppy by any means but had a heavy/delayed feel, so it was harder to make quick cuts/throws. Basically just button delay

but who knows, maybe that was just on my end today

 

Streaming can incorporate a delay. So you cant see playart when the play is being ran. you can scout all you want, but if you make your reads correctly you can still win games. I personally can stream every game i play in since i have a capture card. so if people are interested ill stream all of mine

 

If the game is being played Peer to Peer. Streaming can sometimes put a strain on the connection. But not everyone streaming will lag down the game, so long as they have a good internet.

The issue is people who are streaming on console are using the poop console software/hardware and have some poopy internet sometimes.

Using a cap card along with OBS, and a good internet upload will release strain on connections. I would be willing to bet I could stream with no lag on each players end

 

I just set my twitch up. I am good with streaming all home games, prime time games, and playoff games (if im there.. doubt it) as long as it doesn't effect my connection. So far in online games I have had no lag or experienced any differences from online compared to offline. As long streaming doesn't effect the game play I'm down.
