so the title says it all. I just think it would be a good idea say in a ffa or any multilayer option. If u concede i think having the option to become an observer would be pretty cool.

User was temp banned for this post.

So what you're saying is have a button that you click that instantly loads the replay for you from the score screen?

Not a bad idea.

Doesn't only have to be after defeat, just could be part of score screen.
Got that.

Because going to the replays tab and clicking "load replay" makes too much sense.

This is a good idea, but it just seems unnecessary. Most people would just take 5 extra seconds and go to the replays section.

I think he means team games/ffa so you can watch who actually wins.

Obviously he means that you get to continue watching the game once all your buildings are killed and you would normally be booted out. Like BGH except instead of leaving a building you just die then observe and watch the carnage (for SC2 obv)

I think it's a good idea and I'd love to see it incorporated. Otherwise just beg they let you keep a pylon And make a comeback!

good idea, but there are way more important things to be done before this :S

Then don't quit the game and ask your partner for control. If it's FFA, well, sucks for you.

Yes, this is obviously what he means.

It would only ever be helpful in ffa, because in team games you dont get kicked out when you are dead and allowing them to have observer mode would be unfair because they could tell their team mates over skype/vent/etc what the enemy is doing.

I think you're missing the point of this thread

I would love to see this added for FFA imo it would make it 10 times better. Although I think it is an absolutely terrible idea for team games.

But oh well if not we always have obs custom games.

So you can observe what your opponents are doing and inform your parters of their actions? May as well allow map hacks...

This was an option when creating a custom game in WC3. I have no idea why they didn't keep it. It's fun when you're playing a FFA with friends only, so that you can shout at each other afterwards.

I think it would be a great toggle when creating a custom game.

This is one of the silliest idea's I've ever seen... you basically want to be able to view everything the opponent is doing after you've decided you don't want to play anymore? Where is the fun in that?


This is a horrible idea and would be abused to unknown extent in team ladder matches.

0/10. Is this a troll?

Or maybe it wouldn't have to "suck for you" if they had what the OP is suggesting... as someone else said, I think you missed the point of the thread.

I am pretty sure he is suggesting that in a FFA when you die, you can simply observe the game rather than get kicked out. Similar to in WC3, they can have it so if you are a spectator, you cannot message anyone other than other spectators (including through PMs).
