    this just came into my head, basically after phase 2, players have the permissions to spectate the game (in gamemode 3) because people cant join anymore. this also makes it easier to catch hackers and stuff.... spectators can teleport to each player and can also look at team chats (which ever team, they can also switch the chats)

    as for the ranked players, if they spectate, they can no longer join the game :D cos its cheating....

    i would agree, but:
    - Some players can abuse this mode in other ways <- Not much

    don't let spectators see the team chat and prevent them from sending chats on Global chat.

    How about let ranked players spectate WHEN phase III or IV has started (But they cannot join any teams)
    Addition:
    - When A Player dies while the Team nexus is destroyed, they Can spectate. When they leave the game, they cannot spectate anymore.

    No, spectating the other team would lead to players telling their friends what the enemy is going to do, when they start invis rushing, etc etc.

    Disabling chat won't help because there are a million ways to communicate these days (skype, teamspeak, etc.)

    It is a very good idea and even if your friend is telling you what enemies are doing he wont be able to tell what every single player is doing and you never know when you get leather to diamond p4. It also helps catching hackers you can record when you are spectating you can make more accurate reports.

    Yess, I want.

    Pro's:
    -Easy to catch hackers as they can not harm you in anyway and will not see that you are there.
    -Looking at the game after you died makes it allot more fun at night, because most of the time only 1 game is up,
    there are not enough players to start a second one.
    -Looking at the game can help you learn tips&tricks to play the game.

    Con's:
    -People will talk to their friend after their nexus died and tell them what is going to happen. (See 1+2)
    -People have to be more carefull where they drink/splash their invis pots


    1: I do not consider this a big problem, why? Let me explain.
    Ex.
    Your team: Yellow
    Friend team: Green

    2: So basicly, Yellow is dead so you are now spectating. You cant do anything at all. Why? Because there are still 2 nexusess to keep an eye out for you friend. Imagine if you sre at blue, and then POOF Red begins farming Green like crazy. This spectate snitch is just effective if there are 2 nexuses. And most of the time there are 2 left, either rushers finish off the one with lower health (or higher) or farmers farm the other team and end them.

    Exacly

    Spectators can not see invis players...although they can see it when someone is drinking an invis pot and disappears. And looking at ALL of the players what is the chance of seeing someone in the nexus drinking an invis pot?


    PS: You guys can still change your vote now. This is an overview. Come on don't you want to "catch dem' hackerz" for a better and fair gameplay?

    Pretty much what john said.
    We can not add such a thing sadly.
    Many drawbacks to spectate mode that might ruin anni
