Food For Thought (Clan Wars)

[JDilla]

Just an idea i had.

What if you could spectate clan wars?

Say your in the clan channel then you right click a player and click catch up with then which takes you to spectate mode.

Pros:
You get to see the players you want to see in a clan war.

Cons:
It could be distracting.

There are obviously more Pros & Cons than i have mentioned, which is why i'm leaving it up to discussion.
Is it even possible? & If it is do you think it would be a good idea?

If this would be possible, there would be a delay so there's no ghosting

We have already discussed this and the probability (especially with money involved) that users would leak information from spectators to players via skype or some other messaging method is too high.

Is the advantage of knowing HP and AP amounts, ammo or position gamebreaking? No, you could still play with people cheating, but it does give an unfair edge

And by ghosting you mean what? like players being invisible?

but what if for spectators you couldn't see HP/AP/DMG?

Ghosting is sharing information as a spectator to give advantage to the other team. Most modern games that have spectating features add a 3-5 minute delays so that it's very unlikely to affect the main game overall.

Too much troll.

And then what would be the point in spectating? isnt that what you'd want to know? then there would be more questions on wether if the player was low or full hp or had no ammo. Also you could still tell the positioning and where he is going and such. Its worse than esp, and it is in fact game breaking imo.

Info exchanged over skype via friend.

Then that's just boring, I don't think it's worth the hastle tbh. but that's my opinion ;p
