    Making it possible to spectate matches already in progress

    I would like to see them make it possible to spectate games that are already started. They could make the spectating have a certain time delay to prevent ghosting. Sometimes I dont feel like playing games however I would still like to watch some hon. Also it would make it not so boring waiting for friends to finish their games when u can just watch them finish up.

    I created a poll about this a day or two ago in this forum, with a detailed suggestion for implementation. It's under the thread called Friend/Clan midgame spectate.

    I completely agree, but on a 1 hour delay. How you would join is by going to the website and downloading a file. Lets call this file a replay.

    Having the ability to download and watch replays is terrific I agree, however Im talking more about watching things as they are happening. For instance I remember playing dota on garena and it would advertise when big matches were taking place and you could join up and watch. Even if the match was half over you could join in and the client would sync u up to the right spot in the match. This is the kind of thing that I am looking forward to and hoping that I will see in the near future.

    to prevent ghosting in a game like this you'd need a huge time delay and there are certain things like keeper eyes and wards that last long enough that you could still ghost them. I'm saying no.

    Please bring in this feature. It will help stop people drifting to dota2.

    Totally against this. Spectating games as they are happening often results in spectator having a vent communication with either of the team and telling them vital information like the positions/item choices etc of the other side.

    Totally against this idea, I know S2 is sane enough to not agree to this.

    Spectators normally get a delay from when something happens to when they actually see it. ~90 seconds works well on most games.

    As long as there is a delay, agree. do want implemented.
