Terrible idea. Ill just have the top 200 blocked and rack up some wins!
A better idea would to have Justin.Tv have a delay option. going from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

Your idea won't work because all the sniper has to do is find someone to add your character code or use a smurf to know when you are online. Stream sniping is just what Deezer does and Incontrol is just one of the many streams he stalks.

Sorry but that is a terrible idea. People would just block better players to avoid losses.

I have to say that this is a really bad Idea. Also to suggest that blizzard should fix it. If you want to stream it is up to you if you want to stream or not. That is the risk you take. You can't have everything you know. either add a delay to prevent stream snipping and stream watching, or don't add a delay and interact with the chat or just don't stream at all. Your choice not blizzards

You mean like the reason the TSLs are casted from replays? Stream cheating was less common because streaming was less common in broodwar. People still did it, though.

Did you think your idea through? People who get matched up with each other consistently will just block the other person if he keeps losing.

This is a dumb idea. Why should anyone be allowed to block a person from playing them? That is clearly not the best way to deal with stream sniping.

when you stream your games, you run the risk of people watching them

Exactly why I don't give away my streaming account to people.

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"


your a fn idiot. I'm talkin about the effect of map hacking vs stream. meaning that he can see exactly what you are seeing, your base, ur army ,ur tech, HELL he can even see where you are looking at.

if you only have post of 17 and IQ of 10, please stop talking

Really!? Maybe there weren't stream cheating, but there was all sorts of cheating all the time. TSL2 found tons of cheaters and that's not to mention when the likes of TT1, LS and spades and tons of others were caught cheating and even forum darlings like clazz were found cheating and when oversky played games for someone else

Cheating is really sad and pathetic, but there seems to be a never ending line of desperate people who think they won't get caught. There will never be a time when there might not be some sort of cheating. Live events are about as close as we can get but even at MLG there are chances to cheat.

Stream sniping is a risk you sign up to when you decide you want to stream your games
If it's something that occurs often, it might even draw viewers
"Hey check it out, there's some guy hardcore trolling Incontrol on his stream"
"Oh wow, he doesn't seem like he's very in control"
The moment you lose confidence in yourself, is the moment the world loses it's confidence in you.

Blizzard could add a way for people to use a hotkey to find a game and not have it visible that a game is being searched for. But I'm sure they wouldn't go through all that work just for streamers

There was probably less stream cheating in SC1 because there were so many less streams and so many less people. People's computers weren't even good enough to stream back in the day.

Yeah, its super imbalanced to have a system where you can block someone better than you. If they did that then they might as well just add dedicated servers.
More gg, more skill.

Your idea would be abused ridiculously.

Players could just block every player that beats them, or every player they encounter of a certain race to get their better matchups more, etc etc.

Maybe if you had it so you could only block 1 player at a time or something that might be feasible but not really realistic.

Oh lol this is hilarious. "I think it's you and me against the world, buddy." iNcontroL, you're one of the best trolls TL has. Except maybe Hot_Bid. Also, TotalBiscuit makes and excellent point. 45 seconds kills the snipe and still allows for excellent interaction with the crowd

Can you just not give a delay in your stream? And change that delay between game if you encounter someone who he is stream sniping?
