Basically pauses are just so jarring. I think I have a good fix for this that could be useful. I call it a Pause Timer. Essentially you call for a pause, and then everyone on both teams gets a notification and in 3 seconds the pause goes into effect. Thoughts? Any major flaws with it that I'm not thinking of?

EliteGunm4n1 votesPauses are currently used in Competitive play only for game/technical issues and they are monitored. No discussing strategy and other rules that apply. On PBE they applied the pause feature at one point (for testing I assume) and it really messed up the game. Without any sort of oversight (as normal games would have) it will only end badly.
