As I was watching Wildturtle streaming as twitch, I thought about how one person could just watch his live stream and leak information to enemy players. This could apply to many pro streamers and really hurt them because other diamond and challenger tier people could send their friends to give information on what the streamer's team is doing. I see this as a real flaw for any streamer.
Any thoughts on this?
meh it happens. Although there are options for the streamer to delay the stream a set amount of time to help with ghosting problems. That or they will just cover the mini-map.
pretty much every streamer has a delay set; so the information that could be gained would be too late
If you compare the twitch comments in your browser with those on the stream (if the player ever happends to do that) you can see the delay is most likely between 10 and 20 seconds. This is usually not enough to prevent information leaking, since wards last 3 minutes and buff camps respawn every 5 minutes, but I'd say the effect is not that huge.
If players really do not want this to happen, they should either increase the delay or not stream at all. Watching streams to get information that could be used against the player in-game is a well-known thing amongst most online games.
it's called ghosting. and try to do it. sometimes they will just beat you anyways. they got diamond by being good.
