Spectator Mode

I'm sure that some of you are familiar with Hearthstone's Spectator Mode. I think it would be both entertaining and useful in Arena here too.

Imagine if you could watch your enemies take you on in Arena -- see who they focus on, how your AI toons respond, and where your weak spots are. You could probably use this info to improve your defensive squads and prioritize your upgrades.

Spectator Mode could be a simple UI which brings up all of the current matches happening in Arena and then let you choose which one you'd like to watch. There could be an icon that appears in the match where someone is playing. There could even be a good business model in it for EA/CG too, e.g. you can spectate 5 times a day for free and then you have to pay 50/100/150... for each additional batch of 5.

Although it may sound simple, I can see how this would be a pretty substantial dev project, however, the same engine could also be used for Spectator Mode on raids.

Please upvote if you like this idea, thanks for reading!
