Better Spectator System
Can we PLEASE get a better spectator system already? It's r-tarded that we are stuck to one person in the team that kills your team. Not only that, you don't get to watch the person who downed you, a...

Hi - I'm wondering if there are any tools in the works or invites to beta tools that would assist team managers for pro Apex Legends teams. Spectator modes, game replay etc. Right now it's very challenging to assist in real time or recap game play for tournaments, practice play, scrim play etc.

If the enemy team was able to spectate all members of your squad that are still alive, they would be able to relay all of your positions and moves. Curious to hear your thoughts on that aspect.
Not a fan of spectating at all in a game like this there is to much info that can be given to other people granted it is not likely but still possible I have friends that play while in parties of 8 on xbox that have four teams of two that wind up in same games regularly granted they do it to try and kill each other but they could do it to give call outs and I am sure there are people that do it but that is just my opinion
@EA_Blueberry Ah, that's very discouraging to hear. There is a pro scene developing around this game that deserves some attention. I can speak from management experience of competitive Apex team - lack of meaningful updates to this game is discouraging pro players from continuing to play this game. Some transparency/roadmap would be helpful to keeping these players confident in its longevity. If a pro-scene is something Respawn/EA is actively planning for, it would be great to get some official insights.

I don't think there would be any issue with being able to rotate between enemy team members while spectating them because you can only spectate them when your full squad is dead! Therefore you can't influence what happens on the field.
I agree that this is a necessary feature to be able to fight cheating more efficiently. It would also make spectating a bit more spicy and encourage players to actually take time to do it.
I am not suggesting being able to spectate the other team while my team is still alive.
Right now, spectate is the only way to report hackers efficiently since any reports to https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/ are ignored. I am always recording and sending reports with evidence, but it is hard to do because of the terrible system.
After the death of your team, you can only spectate one out of the three players. If you suspect the player who downed you of hacking, and you are finished by another player, you do not get to watch the suspect, you watch the player who finished you off.
What I am suggesting is that once your team is dead, allow us to rotate between the players of the squad that killed yours, as well as remove the spectate counter on the top right. There are some pretty bad hackers out there, but there are also players who turn them off after they see they are being spectated.
We just want to rotate who we spectate after we're dead. This would help us catch more cheaters. You can't spectate another team until your whole squad's dead anyway.
