If he's not using it to ghost I don't see any problem, there's no real issue with sniping.

Probably an easier way would just be so you can't match the same person twice in a row. With the amount of people whom play SC2 ladder it really shouldn't be a problem lol

It's pretty simple, if you worry THAT much about being stream sniped, don't stream. I don't think the pros really care, the benefits of streaming outweigh the cons.

The pros dont care, but I know a lot of the fans do. They just groan loudly everytime the matchup comes up. And obviously the player wont enjoy it nearly as much.
The path of the forgotten is paved through many lessons learned.

I think people would end up using the block feature to abuse points more than to deny stream sniping. Dunno if preventing matchmaking could work without having too many negatives to go with it.

Just make it an hour before you can get matched against the same person on ladder. This deezer shit on everyones stream is getting annoying as hell. I want to actually see good games played by good players.

I don't think its up to blizzard to prevent stream sniping or stream cheating. Streaming on its own is not related to directly tied to blizzard or battle.net. When someone streams they understand the risks of getting sniped and I think it's up to them to solve the problem. What incontrol's doing with the black screen is a quick fix although it's not 100%... and unfortunately I can't come up with an idea that is.

Isn't stream sniping and consistently trolling considered harassing/grieving? Maybe Deezer will just get banned and disappear?

I don't see why Blizzard should have to do anything about people using 3rd party programs to broadcast their games. If you put it on the internet, it's there for public consumption.

I've played hundreds of games, and never been stream sniped. Because I don't stream. Seems pretty simple to me tbh.

Well tell that to people who actually make their money from Starcraft II, getting stream sniped and cheated is just annoying, especially if your opponent is watching your stream the whole time. Either way, I'm sure there are easier ways to implement a fix instead of saying "just don't stream" to an entire community that watches and loves SCII.

Sniping to get a game against a certain pro is ok really, steam watching however is a bad thing.

listen,there's NOTHING WRONG with Rematching, even if they were to be matched up 10000 times consecutively.. What iS wrong about stream sniping is that the sniper is STREAM WATCHING during the games (having 2 monitors or alt tab to see the victim's build order). in essense that is the same as map hacking. THAT'S WRONG

Same as map hacking? lol. Saying that stream "cheating" is same as maphacking is like leaving your front door open and keys to your car and when someone steals something you go: "BUT GUYS, STEALING IS WRONG, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STEAL EVEN IF IT'S EASY BOOHOOO"

Just make it have a max of 3 players that you can have blocked at one time. Even in GM there's more than 10 players that would be close matches to you so I don't really see the problem even if the system is used to block people better than you.

i think thats a terrible idea.

Most pros dont stream as practice, but more to show the community a good time. like idra says he doesnt play NA ladder for practice, he does it so people can watch him play. And as long as they arent stream cheating its fine. If they are stream cheating, well there will always be stream cheaters. just dont make streaming time your practice time.

There's nothing wrong with stream sniping. Your suggestion is REALLY bad and I don't think you've thought it out very well. I'm an old school sc player and prior to the days of AMM we had to find opponents ourselves which is why smurfing became so rampant. People would stats the good players and dodge them which is why my top 10 ladder finish was done under a smurf name because I couldn't find anyone to play within 200 points of me.

Giving players the option to dodge players is TERRIBLE. Players should be using ladder as a tool to get better at the game, not worrying about their record. If someone is sniping you and for whatever reason you don't want to play them you can always just leave the game which is what Sterling did to me the other day. He just straight up left the game at the start and when he did that I quit sniping him.

The idea that Blizzard needs to get involved is also pretty ridiculous. People are usually streaming to make $$ not to practice builds so with that said, stream sniping causes drama and drama brings viewers. If i were a streamer I'd welcome the conflict. so yea, it's fine imo.

Couldn't streamers just set delay to something like 40-50 seconds? That would be enough to avoid sniping and wouldn't hurt interaction with fans that much. I feel like none of the streamers have even tested delay server, they're just assuming it won't work.
