You can't spectate all randoms?

Edit: NVM, spectators were just full.

Feedback from my "First" spectate...
Actually, i didn't had a chance to watch one, because most of the custom games are "AFK ALL DAY" and so on, it's either afk with bots, people or full and no place for people to spectate. Also I'm looking forward for testing it in normals/rankeds and i hope there will be more than 2 places

Would it be possible to implement a feature where you'd queue up with your friend, and be able to select either "play" or "spectate" in the waiting room? That way you could spectate your friend's ranked game, considering most people don't play custom games (unless it's for practice or farming). I really do believe most people will want to spectate ranked games. See how their friends perform in games, and so on.

Also, without having tested the feature yet, is the spectate mode on a delay (1:30 minutes or something)?

its nice, i watched a game recently. Not really buggy. cool feature.

Its just....all bot games. The mode itself is just nice, but it would be cool to just have like a matchmaking and get put in a random game.

noone wants to watch all bots and 1 human.

Out of 500 games in custom, maybe 10 at a time were active. Wasted a 1/2 hour trying to find something to spectate.

Why is there no time limit on lobbies being afk?

Tested it on PBE (can't test right now on live). @Status Kwoh : Is it possible to have individual UI settings for normal and spectator mode?

I like to play with a small UI but I have to change it to a higher value on spectator mode to be able to read stuff x_x

They should add more to spectators mode more than 2
They say its over 15million people so it's a 3% chance just to watch spectators mode

Afk rooms are usually the top few rooms in Custom Game, because they start with an "a".

Unless one sorts by the number of player in the room, it is a chore to scroll through the list of room.

Hopefully we will be able to join as Spectator through matchmaking, because if it's only through Custom Game, **** me it will probably take some time to find a decent one.
We know it's challenging to get a test going.

What I would suggest is making a custom chat room and posting the name in this thread. Then create a private game and invite from there.

I'll be doing this after morning meetings/lunch as well.
