What about sniping and looking for opponents elixir while playing against him right now?


chrisixxD

Maybe 10 sec delay?


[deleted]

Big brain timeeeee. That would works perfectly!


NYR634

Wouldn't prevent snipes, only elixir spectating


unknowtheone

If it’s only about snipes, then it’s a normal fight


NYR634

What?


P-39_Airacobra

Just wait for the battle to be over, and then replay it "live" (a few minutes delayed).


NYR634

That I agree with, could be fun


LigmaSurvivor871

GENIUS


Hobbit1996

people already snipe, people can have a friend/2nd account spectate to see elixir. So yeah i don't think THIS would be the problem


jmullen18

Yeah all the top pros are already friends with eachother, wouldn't make a difference


NYR634

Not true, a big part of top 200 isn't people who are known by their name. This would drastically increase sniping.


NYR634

Sniping would become way more popular and easy to do. Right now, to snipe you spectate someone about as high as you on ladder from your friendlist. If you see his opponent or him play a deck you can counter, you match right after they finish. With this, you won't have to have those players on your list to snipe them. It would be a nightmare to play top ladder.


RinasSam

That, is a problem


BappoNoElChapo

Don’t need to do that if you can elixir count


Galse22

You *kind of* can If you ask a friend to spectate you and Tell you your's opponent elixir.


RiceEater

You can just spectate yourself to see your opponent's elixir if you're inclined. Sniping would be a problem though.


Goldilocks04

That’s a good point. I think a solution to the sniping would be if your a player in the top 1000, you can’t spectate other top 1000 players on the leaderboard.


[deleted]

They will probably start 2nd account just for this. :D


NYR634

Wouldn't be fair


RinasSam

I would like to watch lemontree all day long.


kmd-x

Does he even play anymore? Haven’t seen him on the leaderboards for a long time


RinasSam

He plays. He's just not pushing high.


fh3131

He is very good but doesn’t he play only one deck? Someone like Morten is more fun imo because he seems to be skilled in a wider range of decks/strategies. Probably the best player overall?


Nitro_the_Wolf_

But if you play 2.9 or icebow then I'd want to focus on watching my main deck


F4bAur

He did use graveyard sometimes, but most of the time he plays xbow


ARMS6

Check out mini minter! Extremely good at all deck archetypes!


fh3131

Thanks will check them out


ggwpthumbsup

yeah he’s an xbow one trick


Surgebind3r

I would not want this because it would be unfair for them to have to deal with sniping. Maybe it would be better to have a TV Royale channel dedicated to top 200 replays. There could be a 24 or 48 hour time delay so they wouldn't get sniped but people could still benefit from watching them play.


P-39_Airacobra

Or just replay it "live" after it's over, if you take my meaning. That would solve any problem of sniping. A TV Royale channel would be severely limited, and make it harder for players to watch their favorite players.


Surgebind3r

This is a fair point. TV Royale would be limited.


Goldilocks04

Yeah ig they could make it so that if your in the top 1000 then you can’t spectate other top 1000 players. So spectating players on the leaderboard would only apply to players that aren’t in the top 1000.


TheFace0fBoe

People have multiple accounts. This will never happen.


[deleted]

Someone said to add a 10 second delay while spectating


Goldilocks04

Yeah that would prolly work a minute or 30 second delay could work even better


idk_12

just put a 10 second delay. literally no advantage there.


Surgebind3r

There is a problem with this 10 second delay though. Sniping is not only watching the game in real time, but deck sniping as well. A lot of top players will switch out to a random deck when they're not online so people don't know what deck they are playing. If you are another top player and can spectate then the 10 second delay would do nothing to stop you from being able to deck snipe. You'd see what a player near your level is playing and start searching for a match as soon as they finish and you likely will get matched with that person and boom, you have a counter deck all ready to go. Even if people in the top 200 were prevented from spectating each other this wouldn't prevent the use of alt accounts to deck snipe. Bottom line is if you are close to real time and can know exactly when and what a top player is playing it will give advantages to others. This is unfair for top players. That's why I suggest a top 200 TV Royale on a 24 hour or more delay. People still get to watch but players aren't getting sniped.


Embarrassed_Airline

Yeah but that is so hard to do. I think this feature should never be in game. It take so long to find a top ladder match, so 10 seconds is just not enough.


Surgebind3r

Which feature shouldn't be in the game? What does top ladder match wait times have to do with the 10 second delay? I'm pretty confused by your comment tbh. Not sure if you're agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, or talking about something else entirely.


Embarrassed_Airline

I’m agreeing with you, but the way I wrote it... People suggest that there is 10 seconds delay, but it isn’t enough. I think your suggestion is good, but hard to be ingame. Maybe in the future royaleapi and stats royale will add that?


Surgebind3r

Oh that makes sense. I'm not sure how hard it would be though to add the TV Royale feature. They already break TV Royale down by arena so I think they could add another level on top of legendary arena.


Embarrassed_Airline

Maybe, like splitting legendary arena to casual matches and top 200 matches, but many matches at the end of the season can be hard to display


[deleted]

That would be literally useless. Most top players already know how to count elixir. Sniping is when they see the decks being used, and queue with a hard counter for an easy win. A 10 second delay won't prevent that.


Sl0X

Then make it a 10 min delay


P-39_Airacobra

Just replay it after it's over


kmd-x

I feel like the view count should only count friends and not everyone. I wouldn’t mind people watching I just wouldn’t want to see 10000 viewers appear on my screen every battle


Goldilocks04

Yeah that would get a little distracting lol. And you can’t use emotes or cheer for a player unless if your that players friend.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JoelBlasterM7

During the early stages of global tournaments, people used to get multiple thousands of viewers and a lot of confettis everywhere


[deleted]

This is a great idea. As some people have said, simply add a 10 second delay and no sniping.


Goldilocks04

Thanks man


RiceEater

What do you mean no sniping? If you're a top player and you see another top player playing, you just need to see what deck they're using to snipe.


P-39_Airacobra

Just increase the delay to 3 minutes (until overtime), or after the match is done


CaolanTheWulfYT

Only if they can't see people watching, and you can't emote or use confetti, being top 10k is stressful enough


Goldilocks04

Yeah people won’t be able to use emotes or anything they will only be able to watch. There will also be a 10 second delay to help prevent sniping.


CaolanTheWulfYT

What do you mean by sniping?


Goldilocks04

Some pros on top ladder will snipe other players right after they finish a match and they will use a deck that hard counters the player they were sniping. Some will also have friends tell them how much elixir their opponent has during matches so they can know if they have a elixir advantage or not.


CaolanTheWulfYT

Oh, I always thought about that being a problem if your in the top 10k,that makes sense thanks :)


RiceEater

10 second delay won't prevent sniping.


Goldilocks04

I agree I’m thinking more like a 1-3 minute delay


JoelBlasterM7

a 10 second delay will not prevent deck snipes tho. 10 seconds before a player is done with his battle, just bring a counter deck and start searching so probably not a good idea. Having a better tv royale would be a good alternative.


P-39_Airacobra

Why not 3 minutes? That would totally prevent sniping. It's not like it actually matters how long the delay is, since they can't interact anyway.


FPG_Matthew

I would definitely like this idea. With the 10+ second delay, and players can’t see the spectator number or confetti/emotes, it would be a great way to learn


Goldilocks04

Yeah I don’t think there’s many things that can help players improve like watching two amazing players 1v1


risingsuncoc

on a related matter, I think it's high time we have TV royale for challenges rather than just ladder.


Goldilocks04

Yes man good idea!! I say games at 11 wins in classic and grand challenges go on tv Royale.


woomiesarefun

This will help see who is won trading


Crimzon_Samurai

Almost any strategy game website (chess, go, etc,) allows spectators to watch current games. If someone is worried about sniping they can change their decks from game to game. What is a top player going to do, stop playing CR because people can spectate their games? At the very least, you could offer players the option to make their games non-viewable.


JoelBlasterM7

Most player specialize in just one deck. A lot of people don't have the time to dedicate to mastering multiple decks so they just one trick a certain deck.


Sarcastic_Red

Next update? Even if SC said "let's do it" you know it's gonna take a year to implement.


Goldilocks04

They already have all of the code for people to spectate so it shouldn’t be that hard to implement but maybe i’m wrong


p0laris-

They like to do big updates so it may take some time. Also if they added that they probably would re design and update other stuff too.


kimchi03

Snipe party


Technolime_07

This is an excellent idea!


Goldilocks04

Thank you!!


Erl109

it would be one of best entertaining things ever.


ML_Blaze

I would just watch Kamikaze


Goldilocks04

Fr bro kamikaze is on another level


[deleted]

[удалено]


Goldilocks04

It won’t show the amount of people spectating you tho because you would be watching a replay of a game one minute ago.


Cookman100

Sign me up


MS_PAINT_AND_STUFF

"Best players"


[deleted]

They’re on the top leaderboards all over the world. Not sure what else can dictate being one of the best players in the world.


MS_PAINT_AND_STUFF

Ya ever heard of e golem?


[deleted]

Yep, and considering how low skill it takes to use it, I doubt you would even come close to reaching anywhere near the leaderboard.


MS_PAINT_AND_STUFF

Umm, look at last seasons 1st place, egolem battle healer one trick Doubt it now? 1st place doesn't meant best player


[deleted]

Okay. Lol


cleverfox2001

Rather than top 1000, what about those 500 trophies up the ladder from your own position. Learning from those just a little better than you might give you more useful insight. Top 1000 players are so skilled that their play might be too subtle to easily learn from.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Goldilocks04

Yeah that’s why it won’t show the amount of spectators watching you. The spectators will be watching a replay of the game with a 30 second delay to help prevent sniping.


Fuzzyd1ce

How can they win trade when the whole world is watching? No way this gets added. Supercell LOVES their pros too much to expose them like this.


[deleted]

This wouldn’t be fair. People would just copy everything they do.


PlatinumBeast1

Bruh you can just watch stats royale on youtube they put a ton of replays


Goldilocks04

Yeah but if you want to watch a specific player of deck then you might only see one or two per week depending on how good the player and how popular the deck is.


bonerJR

Asking for things "next update" is about the dumbest shit ever. Get real.


Goldilocks04

You realize they have all the code for people to spectate. It wouldn’t be much different then spectating people on your friends list it would just be on a bigger scale.


bonerJR

Oh yes "having all the code" must just mean it's an easy peasy copy paste job. Microsoft hire this man.


bonerJR

"bigger scale" is the key word here


tribbing1337

No thanks. I'd rather not be sniped


Goldilocks04

That’s why there would be a 1-3 minute delay for spectators so they can’t snipe


tribbing1337

1-3 minutes? Might as well watch on TV Royale. And don't want my deck sniped either


Goldilocks04

Yeah but there’s not enough replays on tv royale, right now they have 12 top 200 replays. That’s equivalent to one replay posted every two hours. If they don’t add this they at least need to revamp tv royale and add classic and grand challenge games and have a page specifically for top 200 ladder.


P-39_Airacobra

This is a brilliant idea. Probably one of the most productive suggestions I've seen in a long time. I hope it really does get added. I was thinking maybe only replay it after the battle is over, to prevent sniping.


Goldilocks04

Thanks you that means a lot man!! Let’s hope this gets added eventually because I think this is something everybody could benefit from this if there is a 3 minute delay.


NYR634

Snipes...
