Just a quick comment on the spamfest side of things. Disclaimer that I never got into LoL. I've found over the years playing most of the different MOBAs that when I come into a new one I find it nearly impossible to delineate what is happening in a many-player fight. It only comes after some time playing the game that I'm able to recognise this shade of light in this pattern means this spell is being used, etc. After a point it becomes quite clear what is going on and looks a lot less like a spamfest.

And that is the barrier of entry to MOBA eSports. Also the reason why LOL is the number one eSport is because it is the number on game in the world. Not only that but it is the biggest video game the world has seen.
