Relic will be previewing observer mode

My bet: Observer mode like in Smite, everyone who wants(and can find a game via playing friend) can join with 3 minute delay.

I believe League and DOTA2 have something like a 2 minute delay so it is okay

I don't think real time is fair. First, there is bound to be a delay because of lag. Secondly, even though you are only spectating one side, you can have people "spot" for you which is still cheating.

You will need the delay to prevent cheating.

Well, how about a 30 second delay if you are watching one side? Then no one can help you detect flanks, idle units etc. It's not much different watching a stream on Hitbox with just a few tiny seconds delay where you already see everything he is seeing. People seem to be excessively afraid of it being abused.

Anyway, there's just a few minutes until we'll probably find out about the custom game observer mode...

Why is Relic giving bans to everyone who doesn't say how fabulous they are?

It's relics new MO. I got banned in the last stream for asking what relic thought of the current state of team games.

It's ok to ask personal questions to females though (which I saw again in the chat), just don't question Relic,

I can feel the hype. Starting to miss CoH2 a bit.

How is it any worse than people giving advise to streamers or having 2 people at a computer (one playing, one watching/"spotting"). Sure, it's an advantage, but so is having naturally faster reaction times.
