Professional players only care about the community in so far as they watch and support the league rather than still enjoy the game by themselves. The typical results are but not limited to: Stale metas because they don't feel like adapting, game balance done to their liking to create metas which may not suitable for the majority of the playerbase and an increase of insufferable clowns that break and bend the rules however they like. Hell in OW its nowadays a practice to witch hunt and dox people with an impressionable child army just because of an opinion on social media, Blizzard of course being completely cool with it.
I see your point, but also that was not the point of my post. I do agree that pros running the scene would be a bad thing, but they would not earn any revenue from these skins. Only the teams would earn the money, therefore enabling them to invest more money into the game. I have seen this benefit games in a huge way. Smite is an example, if you haven’t heard of it, it is a small not very know MOBA similar to LOL. They started putting team skins in the game and it was a huge hit, multiple players were buying the skins and this allow them to put more money into developing the game and also up the prize money for tourneys. All in all, I just want the game to grow, with more money put into the game by organization will grow the return from tourneys. This could attract more pro-players which can have a strong influence on how popular the game can become. A simple way to Implement this is by creating skins for the legends used by the winning team of the world tourney for that winning team. Thank you for your reply.

@Cody243243243 Perhaps... you make a valid point. Such popularity could enhance the longevity of our game. For the sake of a common goal, I agree with your statement.
You mentioned League of Legends- I myself played it quite a bit back then. DOTA was very similar- not a bad game! It actually came out before LoL, but because LoL was more popular...
