Idk if this has been suggested before, but wouldnt it be cool if we could spectate live matches. I think it would be neat to see like texas_tnt play polamalu and see how well they match up. What do you all think.

This was here b4 and caused a lot of lag. It would be cool if this feature was still around. but the raise in ping ain't worth it really

To add something to what lol18 said. This feature was only available in cups and it was the reason of a lot of winning and losing on purpose, perhaps the second reason why it got removed. I have to admit, that was cool, but nothing more than that.

I was here when last time there was such an option. While it is nice to watch, it caused quite abit of latency in the game which is why I guess it got removed.

It was indeed a great idea back then, but it will still be something we can try out today unless the solution to latency is fixed. The way I see it, it was removed due to high lag in matches creating a lot of hardship one, or both users in the match. I won't mind having it re-implemented to the game.

You can't and couldn't write in a spectated match, only the users playing can converse and you can't see what is being written, you can only observe the match. One major con was that it was believed to increase the ping and was often abused in that instance, although if a way to make the observation not affect the match, i'm sure the crew will be quick to implement it again.

I hope it come back agien, beacues when you are a spectator to a big clan cup, it's a bit borring to wait and see what the resuluts be! But if it affects the match with lag, then i don't like to get it back! ;)

A terrible idea and I hardly doubt it will come back.
Dont think the lag would be less whatever the CREW will do.

Thinking and trying to come up with solutions to improve the game ain't a bad thing, not using the search tool is. :)

You don't have to bump up an old thread for an idea about something already in use in the past that never will be implemented again, or more precisely say, with the current data, that won't most likely be considered for now.

Remember, we wish to have a clean, nice and warm atmosphere in the forum, and not give the chance to kids and adults only by law to see the forum more like a kindergarten.

Just imagine the chaos that will be caused if anyone takes what you did as an example.

I will close this thread since there is nothing more we can add besides this: spectating games increases the ping. This feature was available but it got removed.
