[Suggestion] Spectator Mode

Feedback/Suggestions
#1

Hi peeps,

with the upcoming tournament i got reminded that a spectator mode would be pretty awesome.

But of course restrictions would be needed:

  • Spectators can see everyone’s class & faction in the player list as well as their logs.

  • Spectators can only present during a custom lobby, not in public games.

  • Limited to 2 Spectators a game, Spectators can’t join randomly, they have to be invited to be a spectator by the Lobby-Host.

This would make streaming & commentating as well as watching a tournament alot more fun in the future.

It would make cheating easier imo, I’d put it so they just watch as a dead person. Otherwise it could be exploited.

I would love a spectaror mode too not for just tournament but in general. Needless to say the spectators ofc wouldnt be able to talk or interact in any way just like watching a stream but instead, watching a friend playing when u want to eat or u dont feel like playing yourself etc etc like in hs!

Spectator is fine on custom lobbies I think. Everyone knows each other there, so cheating is something the lobby can socially handle.

I don’t see the need to limit it to 2 spectators though. What’s the reasoning?

Less Spectators means less possible sniping. 2 should be enough for Caster & Co-Caster of Tournaments or streams.
