Purpose of showing spectator count?

Can someone explain purpose of showing spectator count? It makes so much harder to get proof that player was cheating. He alone destroys whole squad (shoots with amazing accuracy) and then you watch ...

@DoYaSeeMe if that's true then why doesn't it show the spectator count in ranked?

@Daze623Its not remotely true in the slightest. And his thinking behind cheating is also completely wrong.

Removing the spectate eye allows more clear view of being able to watch someone to see if they are indeed cheating. If a user can cut off their cheats it proves nothing on our end of needing proof.

Cheaters would not be getting banned left and right in ranked if not for this eye being removed.

I have also asked for a private forum folder that only staff may view where we can send in our for sure catches. I know Conor works hard on doing video views but it can easily times that number by 20 with private staff only view folder of video or screen shots.

@E9ine_AC Thats a very good idea and would give him less work to do.

@E9ine_AC Isn't this the same thing as sending direct messages with the issues to community moderators?

  So, nobody knows why we have it and i assume nobody needs it. Maybe it's time to get rid of it?
  If not, then at least explain us why you need it.

    @SlivPTS let me tell you why
    *puts on tinfoil hat*
    it's cause Respawn secretly loves cheaters
    There's a reason why apex doesn't have a death cam/replay system
    So it makes sense that they'd add the spectator icon
    It's to warn their beloved cheaters!
