full view after death

Postby ax0lotl » 30 May 2015, 21:02

I don't see this issue reported, nor can I find it on github (maybe it is there and I just cannot find it). It is well known.

With the current patch, probably when observers are allowed, after you die, you cannot chat to anyone in-game anymore, only to observers (like here:https://youtu.be/cQ5lwfh8ejA?t=1249), but you can see the opponents side too. So if you have speech communication, you can cheat, as BH did here https://youtu.be/cQ5lwfh8ejA?t=2451.

Well if you have observers allowed, one of them can be on voice chat with team and giving advices, so you cant really prevent this completely unless you dont allow obsevers at all.
So this isnt that big of an issue

You're right, I did not think of that.

The games that I play are not of a level where we have observers. The default "allow observers" sometimes stays on, it used to make no difference. Now it does. Would be nice if we could go back to the way it was, where if you die, you are not made observer of that type, but can still ghost (ping etc.) the old way. Now your "gg" does not even come across to players still playing.

i agree that we need to separate those 2 settings, it is just annoying sometimes.

I remember how in major 2v2 tournament some one refused to let casters into a game cause it would mean that observers will be on...

Nothing was changed here. "Allow observers" has had this behavior since forever, and the default value wasn't changed (It's still default=off).

What _was_ changed was that observers were unable to chat unless the chat box was visible and they could click on it.
