So fluffers had the idea to remove late-spec again. And I know we've done it before and stuff. But it got me thinking. Now that we have the auto announcement service, it'd be okay to remove late-spec. Because when that announcement happens, people know when to move on over to Blitz. So late-spec is really unnecessary now.
So let's remove it, and end the bull sh!t. I'm tired of 4 people playing. 10 people spectating. No Late-spec would remove that. No late-spec would also remove people being able to choose their teams. If a 1v2 happens. So be it. Chances are the higher rated person is on the 1 team anyways. And that's not the end of the world. The end of the world is when another high rated player specs in and now its 2 pros vs. 2 noobs. Bull sh!t.
Thanks,
Muffin
EDIT: I turned it into a poll because Toonces said this is a possbility. But he likes spec-in. So let's vote to remove it so he sees how much the community wants it gone!

Why not just block spec in from ppl with low rep ( -15 rep)? The people who troll it excessively get rep bombed anyway.

Because all the top players play enough to keep high rep, and theyre the ones that are worst for late speccing.

Thats a start, but the situation I mentioned earlier is one, plus people like Wang.Chung(Gromer) late spec and dont play, or spec in last second and dont play, or do random non playing activities, but still finish games to get rep.

Guess we'll just have to go into hardcore rep police mode.

Muffin, speaking of blitz, you make it out that Blitz is really active in the evenings.
You and your Muffin propaganda! Been on Blitz twice in 3 nights and not one games been on pfft.
P.S If you get this now, or within the next 20 or so mins, come on blitz.

6pm - 11pm PST is what I tell people. Somewhere between those two times there will be 20 people online. And about 10 average throughout the entire time period.
