This game desperately needs to take a big page out of Overwatch's book and add a comprehensive in game replay viewer. Here are just a few of the reasons why it should be added:
- Identifying cheaters becomes much easier when you can hop into their POV after the game to see if anything they're doing is suspicious.
- VOD reviewing can currently only be done by recording the footage using an external program, and even then it only supports first person. Adding a replay viewer would allow players to review their own gameplay in a much better way in order to improve. This also, of course, comes into play with pros, so doing this would also benefit the esport as a whole.
- A replay viewer would allow content creators to flourish, making it so that they can create guides in third person, make montage highlights better, and showcase maps more easily.
- Some of the technology to create a replay viewer is already in the game; Crypto's drone works exactly like a spectator camera would. Just remove the overlay, make it faster and you have a spectator camera right there.
- (Assuming the replay viewer can be used while queueing) it can reduce downtime between games and keep players engaged.
I really hope a dev sees this and takes it into consideration. Copying Overwatch isn't a bad thing, all games should have a replay viewer in my opinion and borrowing from Overwatch's example will greatly improve the game.
