Idea for perSonas b4
Well, I have been thinking recently about the designated observer slots, and the pros and cons. Then, I had an idea that I think would greatly improve gameplay in public and private games, utilizing the designated observer system.
Instead of calling the Orange and Brown slots "Observers" call them "Reserve Players" or something, and give them both access to a command (-fill [color] maybe) that allows them to take over a player's hero and resources if that player has left the game.
Think about it; how many times has a perfectly good game been ruined by a lag out or a leaver? In private games, the odd man out, or designated reserve players could take over players who lag out, and in public games, if people choose to, they could be a reserve player, and be a lifesaver when that first player leaves 3 minutes into the game. I think this would not only be a great improvement from the current way, but it would also give a visible advantage over other AoS type games where teams can become unbalanced fro a leaver or two, and there isn't much you can do about it.
Something to consider at any rate.

Re: Idea for perSonas b4
great idea
this should work well, especially since we intend to create an autobalance feature

what about if there are no players to take over for leavers just having an AI take over for them.

This would mean coding an AI.
Besides, have you seen how bad the DotA AIs are?

Besides, do you have any idea how COMPLICATED the AI should be to be worthy ?

yeah i figured it would be hard. and now that i think about it i have NEVER seen a good AI. Either they are stupid as hell and dont do anything but give out free kills to people or they are WAY to good and no1 stands a chance agianst them.
