EPTMaybe they should just ban streaming or demand certain % of the income players get from streaming while at it, sounds more reasonable than the players whining at them over this matter.

Obviously there are things that others can do to stop the problem, but Blizzard has the unique capability to do so without people needing to inhibit their streaming. Blizzard can make people not able to make more than once every hour or so. That would have fixed the problem entirely. | ||

I'd like to think there was some fair feature that Blizz could add to the game to prevent cheating, but I can't think of one that doesn't negatively affect the ladder experience for legitimate players.

The issue with that is that legit players can no longer meet multiple times on ladder when there's no sniping involved - I've had good experiences with this even down in diamond where it's rare. Plus, dickheads like deezer have multiple accounts anyway, so they either switch account and cheat again against you, or they cheat against someone else and come back in an hour. | ||

I mean, its pretty clear cut against the rules to grief someone like Destiny did with his followers but I still think its funny and justified against Deezer. Especially since he only does it if Deezer is stream sniping | ||

What they could do however is add stream sniping to their policies and ban people who have been reported on multiple accounts since it's easily verifiable by looking at their match history. Doesn't seem like any more of difficult than looking into harassment cases. it's not that cut and dry. By streaming online you're waiving your right to online privacy. If someone wants to take advantage of that fact then it's perfectly legal. Blizzard would have no legal standing to ban people that stream cheat or stream snipe. The only way Blizzard could legally stop stream cheating would be to disallow streaming of their product, which is stupid since streaming is essentially free advertising for Blizzard. | ||

Streamcheaters sometimes even directly harass you ingame... Some of the more infamous ones harass all the time. Another "not our problem" answer... g.g. blizzard | ||

It's not the streamer's fault that hes streaming, its the maphackers/snipers fault for looking at the stream. They can choose whether or not to do so, and only affect themselves. If the streamer decides to delay or shut off the stream, then he loses hundreds or thousands of viewers. The difference is really quite simple: there's nothing you can do about a map hack. If you get map hacked... oh well. It happens. There's nothing you can do to make yourself impervious to map hacks; that's Blizzard's responsibility. Streaming, by definition means setting up a way so that other people can watch you play live. It is a choice you, the streamer, are making. In effect, you are map hacking yourself. By simply not streaming, you make yourself 100% impervious to stream sniping. Now, you may say that not streaming means losing viewers. And that's correct. But Blizzard does not have to enforce any particular economic model. They don't exist to make personal streaming of SC2 games economically viable. It is not their responsibility to ensure that personal streaming of SC2 even exists, let alone has viewership and enough people/ad revenue to live on. Streaming, which fundamentally means providing people online information about your play live, has innate risks. One of those risks is the risk that someone who you don't want to watch will be watching. Like the preson you're currently playing. That's the nature of the best. Accept it and move on, or stop streaming. Those are the legitimate options. | ||

Stream sniping = queueing up at the same time as the person so they are matched up. They're talking about stream cheating/watching. | ||
