first of all if your one of those people that love stealing builds from observer mode this is not for you, if you are one of those people who likes to make your own builds and work hard for them you will like the idea.

I think for the next big skill update they should take out Observer Mode and see how people live in HA and GvG where there is no meta game, where the game actually takes skill again where as to "hey they won with it in halls lets run this". I Think people will go crazy and try alot of new things on that weekend and make it a double fame weekend also, after a big skill nerf and no observer mode it would most likely be the most fun, seeing people go on about what a stupid idea this is...most likely 90% of those people steal builds from observer mode..giving people who don't steal builds and actually play the game how it's supposed to have a higher chance at getting fame.

if you wanna rage about this inside
the game my ign is assyrians revenge...hf+gl

But I love watching those! For entertainment purposes, like whenever im bored, ill get on GW and watch some gvg, HA. Not like i can get into an HA team without rank anyways, and to get rank i need to play HA >_> stupid vicious circle. Don't take out observer mode, because the meta game will still exist from players blogs, GW website, and even just playing against other teams.

Watching top players play is the way newer players can pick up strategies.

It's how I learned PvP to an extent

Strategies are developed by learning the strengths and weaknesses of the people you play with not by being yet another non-origional metasmurf. I mean exacly how many strategies are their for teleport scythe or backbreaker spike, just a bunch of clones changing one skill and calling themselves leetsauce.

The crown jewl of how ob mode has flatlined creativity is in HB but this is not the place to rant about that.

pretty much it seems like if something looks solid it gets copied 1000x and everyone claims it as their own, guess that's just human nature, but it is really pathetic. So yes lose ob mode for one weekend following a glut of skill balances and see what floats to the suface. Prolly just the same old crap with a bunch of whiny brats screaming that they'll /slitwrists unless their precious noobspike and observerway are restored.
