I've noticed lately that whenever the various streamers are broadcasting, talented objective players usually tend to queue with the streamer and not against



Do streamers affect what faction you queue?

This is actually a very interesting poll. It deserves a like. I do not give those out very often.
It is all about the herd mentality, my friend.
Only the weak minded would someone else make their decisions for them.
It seems their are a lot of weak minded that play WoW. Some may call them sheeple. Others may call them lemmings. Whatever we choose to label them, they are incapable of making a choice on their own. Thus, they have to "follow the herd" so they can feel needed.
Many studies have been done on this subject. TI is an excellent example of "herd mentality" and "dog piling". Many of it's members apply those tactics during forum "debates".

Nope, never watch streams so I'm not part of this "streaming culture".

Indirectly, I'll check the quality of games via streams and assist the losing side.
