Simpler games for better eSports?

League of Legends is trying to become a spectator sport. And its developers are arguing that to achieve that with a videogame, the game has to be relatively simple, with what they call "clarity": A spectator has to be able with a glance to see what is going on. They argue that a game can be visibly simple, without being too easy or casual to play.

World of Warkraft...
