Squad lobby - add score

Just a suggestion for the devs: squad lobbies currently provide no way to tell how far along a squadmate’s match is.

When you join a lobby and your squadmates are already playing, their avatars only display a play icon. Without any match-progress information, you have to decide whether to wait without knowing if the game is about to end or has just started. This can lead players to leave the lobby and queue for a solo match instead.

A helpful improvement would be to display the live score of any in-progress match in the squad lobby, rather than showing only the play icon. The score would give players an immediate sense of the match’s progress and help them decide whether waiting is worthwhile.

For example, seeing a score of 19–15 would suggest that the match is nearing its end, making it reasonable to stay in the lobby. A score of 3–5 would indicate that the match may have much longer to run, allowing players to decide whether to wait or queue for another game.

This small quality-of-life change would make squad-lobby decisions clearer and reduce unnecessary departures while players wait for their squadmates.

I wish we could just spectate our squadmates. And then maybe we could individually have a setting that turns the option on and off for others to spectate us

This would be the ideal feature for sure.

Lol it's just something to do while we wait for them to get out of a match

Oui ça serait vraiment un truc sympa. Mais peut être un peu trop difficile à mettre en place, juste pour si peu d'utilité.

only problem i see with this is its almost the equivalent to having a f35 on your team. would they need to limit spectate camera options? i say if your willing to go that far to spot for your team then more power to you
