so, you guys know how overwatch has that crazy mode called stadium, right? it's like a moba version of the game where you can create these insane builds with items and powers that totally change up your hero's abilities. i was super into it when it first came out, but apparently, not that many people are playing it anymore. like, only 3% of players are queuing up for unranked or ranked stadium, which is pretty wild considering how popular the game is.
