REMOVE SPECTATOR ICON

Or let us have a feature that removes it visually please?

I cannot stand the idea that someone is watching. I cannot focus and it ruins my flow. 

Simply put, I'm one of those person that performs worse when being observed. 

Is it too hard not to show that someone is watching?

As long as I dont know I dont care which makes me wonder if the only reason it is shown, is so you can "flex". 

I dont flex.

  • The spectator blip is removed in ranked gameplay, so they definitely could make it an option.

  • It makes me play better. Why did they remove the number of spectators that has been there since launch?

    @LocustSniper I think it was having to do with cheaters turning off their cheats, even though there's cheaters who can see the number of spectators and who they are in ranked.
  • @LocustSniperHow does it make you play better? Just motivation because you know people are watching? I usually would just do stupid things like taunting quips or t bag them like zeus or like one time I killed the dude that killed me in the last game in the final 2 so I put a full sheila clip into his deathbox lol I mean there was no hard feelings but I thought it was funny to get revenge and I wanted to do it because I saw someone do it on youtube and the guy was laughing like lol hes shooting my deathbox

    @Midnight9746  True. Basically only cheaters really care about spectators. They have to pretend to know how to play when being watched and it’s truly pathetic.

    @Midnight9746 Removing spectating eye does no good for cheaters. They now have a list that read by players name who all is watching them. This works for pubs and ranked. So this was about 3 seasons too late. =(
  • I got killed by a guy with incredible precision. When I spectated him, I noticed not only he can't aim but he can't properly move around either :D Poor creature.
