Hey Riot how nice would be a 5 versus 5 mode with an 6th player per team as operator who can see the full map like a normal player but with the enemies sight too.

With an integrated teamchat per team with this operator who only can give commands to the players and is not playing a character ingame.

I think this would be a really nice fun mode Dont you think?

And the operator could sewnd commands like "destroy the turret" and when this happens they get bonus exp. Yould could make that the longer they need the less bonus they get and so the operator has to decide which target is in the next time available especially in early game he would have to click around the map the whole time and he is doing something just to hang around and doing just look on the map

Here's the thing; Valve tried to implement something like this with Team Fortress 2. And they ultimately resolved not to do it. Why? Because having an operator character, someone with only the ability to give directions to players and nothing more...Wouldn't be fun. It's less fun to play if you're not actively playing, and it also comes as a double-edged sword. You could have players who are completely ignorant, deciding to go by their own directions rather than the operator, or you could have troll operators spamming pings or telling players to go jump one-by-one into the enemy team. Even still, the players wouldn't need an operator to help them along, because oftentimes five players can just co-operate and that would be enough. You don't need some supreme tactical overview, you just need vision control and good teammates. So I doubt Riot's going to give this concept any thought.
