How feasible would it be to have the "Spectate" button available from right-clicking a user in chat?
It is a bit inconvenient to have to possibly move to another region and change channels in order to spectate a match, and this change would not only reduce the time needed to start spectating a match, but also allow newer players who haven't gone to certain regions or can't access certain locations to spectate matches.
Edit: Thank you guys for your insight! I agree with @TohnR's statement:
If this feature is to be implemented, there will need to still be privacy to avoid people constantly scouting one's private matches. One possible solution to this (as suggested by @EricRaspand @Kupokun) is the implementation of a pop-up request asking for remote spectating, and alongside the option to auto decline remote spectating (basically the same system as duel/friend/trade/link requests in Setting -> Others)
However, this wouldn't completely solve the issue of people spectating on one's private matches if they happen to be able to see one's sprite in game, but this is another issue that can be addressed separately, or be treated with the same pop-up request/auto-decline system.
