Why do random people spectate my games?

I occasionally get notifications that someone is spectating me but they aren’t on my team and waiting to respawn, or on my friends list. They never end up saying anything. I just end up with performance anxiety because some stranger is now watching me die or run back from spawn. I don’t know how long they’re there during the match. I’ve been playing the game a month and a half maybe. So maybe I’m just ignorant to something that’s normal, but I genuinely don’t know why someone would want to watch ME play. I’m not the best player, so maybe it’s for a laugh. But I suppose I’d expect someone to then talk trash. But they don’t. It’s just random silent watchers occasionally and I just find it strange. If you’re someone who spectates players, why? I understand having something to watch while waiting to respawn in a match. But I just don’t see myself going and watching someone random in a game. Apologies if I’m just not aware of something that’s pretty normal for most players. It just throws me for a loop whenever I see the notification pop up and I have zero clue who it is.

Crazy concept but the 4 other people in the match also have people on thier friend’s list that can spectate your match

I didn’t realize that was a thing that could be done. This is how I’m learning that. Is why I asked.

I know. It’s incredible to realize that one is not the center of the universe. Every day, we learn something new.

It’s probably one of the other players has a friend waiting to group up until after the game. In the meantime they can just watch.

“crazy concept” tends to be used in a “well dumbass” sort of manner, so it definitely came off a bit aggressive but it’s alright. As mentioned, I’m a newer player and it was a question out of genuine curiosity.

Is that really the implication you think she’s making?

Maybe is a joke? Who knows…

I don’t understand this reply tbh? What did I do aside from ask a question? Like why players do a particular thing. Like what

never seen so many angry, confused, arguably illiterate people conglomerated in one place before…

Funny how hateful comments always turn into “jokes” when they’re called out

Well, they’re watching me damage orb spam in TM. Hope they’re enjoying the show.

you bump a 9 month old thread that has pretty much no constructive discussions happening, and you call others a crackhead…?
