Spectators
In my opinion, spectating is a very controversial topic, and I'll probably be receiving a lot of hate for this. In my honest opinion, I don't think spectating should be so… overpowered. Having a spectator is very VERY useful, yes, but at the same time spectators are an unfair advantage. It's like having a teammate in an FFA, or at the very least someone to be your eyes and ears. Telling someone where to get the diamond pieces they need for snowballing, who to clean up, where someone dug down, where head posts are, anything, all of these are an unfair advantage, yes? I rarely have a spec, and I'm not going to make the excuse that "oh, well spectators are the reason I'm so bad at uhc", because it's not (I'm bad at uhc because I get 40 fps in 100x100 and I'm a naturally stupidass player). But anyway, it's honestly REALLY getting on my nerves that people have such a huge advantage over other players, just saying. Please limit the hate to "just a shitty player" and "-1 you're a fucking idiot". Peace and love :)

To somehow nerf spectating, have it be nowhere outside of 100x100, have it be completely gone, or have you not able to spec until it's like 100x100, because by the time 100x100 has started most people will have already snowballed their gear (hopefully legit).

I feel like spectating is somewhat like a radar or something because you can know exactly where other players are without them knowing where u are.

So all the people without spec are allowed to use radar!!!!!

+1, but speccing 100x100 would be pretty boring especially near the start of the game, maybe bump it up to like 200x200?

Yes, you are right however there is a solution which is a bit cheap. You could make a specless scenario and make 90% of the games that. This technically is not taking away what the donators' purchased so yeah ;/

As a donator, I honestly don't care if I lose my spec powers… It's too OP imo

There are 2 sides to the coin. While I support your (Ram's) side, being able to spec in 500x500 can bring a little more revenue as supposed to 100x100 border. Point is, the value of the ranks will go down because of the border you can spec in depending on your rank.

Then we have to compromise, we can give donators another perk, whilst at the same time removing the advantage of specing.

What about forcing spectators to only spectate in first person? I've seen this somewhere else before, so its possible..
I think that's 1.8 only and everyone knows it's garbage

I don't like the idea of having a spectator just for the sole fact of getting an advantage, but I feel like spectating is somewhat of a right to have. Honestly, I don't think there is a way to nerf it without outrage from the community.
