At one time DotA2 had a noob friendly stream that would explain what was going on in greater detail, but it's a hard balancing act. DotA2 allows in game spectating which actually means you can click in items to figure out what they do. It would be cool if streaming platforms had embedded item and hero information for users to be able to expand on demand.

Complexity is something that affects League and DotA2. It's hard to know what all the things on screen even mean, and why they're important.

Twitch actually has this for Dota now! On bigger streams, you can click on the spells and items to see the tooltip.
