I don't agree. It's extremely obvious when a listing on Amazon.de is sketchy because the German used is quite bad compared to normal listings.
I'm also quite skeptical of most positive reviews, because it's a known problem in Germany too. I don't think most people are aware of that though and still believe high ratings still mean anything.

Reminds me of some of the stuff in Control, which is obviously based on SCP, but still.

But that's something that MOBAs can do that RTS games can't. Which is another reason why MOBAs ate RTSs lunch. I'm not sure why you're focusing on win rate when there are plenty of people who play MOBAs who are quite frankly garbage at the game(s).

But you don't have to know any of that straight off the bat, because you have other players on a team to rely on. You can play with a friend who'll carry you if need be. SC2's relentless focus on 1v1 is a huge detriment, and it seems like the entire RTS genre has decided "well, that's what we do".

Also, MOBAs give you that team play experience, which reduces the amount of weight/pressure on you as an individual. 1v1 ladder anxiety is a huge under-appreciated issue and one of the things RTS's can do to avoid it is a bigger focus on team PvP.

Afaik, that isn't launching until 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Lake_(microprocessor) Or do you mean another CPU?
