Seemed like the best place to put it, sorry if not!
I'd love to see these implemented if at all possible:
1) When a game finishes, be it due to quitting or victory, have the map be revealed (only relevant on Fog Of War setting) so the losing side can actually see what their opponent had.
2) When its not the players turn in multiplayer, allowing them to still send messages instead of having to wait to do it.

1. i thought of this too, but isnt it bad revealing a palyers tactic?
2. messages: yes but we have the out-game game chat isnt that good? as a workaround?

I agree on second, on first, I think it's ok to show the map to both sides - will allow you to study from defeat a bit better

I'd like to see the first and second suggestion in-game.
Also in aos

There is one problem, if this is a team game, losing players can share information about the enemy's locations.

I was referring to the proposals of the topic opener.

I think its fine, after all this is a game of strategy. While during a Fog of War game keeping things hidden makes
sense I don't think things need to remain secret after.
It seems to me the out-of-game normally is ignored, whereas in game its a popup so harder to miss.

Exactly this^ I want to know *why* I lost not just suddenly having foes show up on edge of my vision and kill me.

I totally forgot about team games. In that case I suppose map should stay hidden until game finishes if possible?

i made it if u reopen the game when it is game over you can see everything.
i know it should be when you are already in game and getting the "you win" dialog to have an option to observe but that is a little harder, so now this easier is in.

Awesome, thanks! I haven't finished any fights since so I can't see it in action yet but this will be a help.

Ok, I finished a game and no change to view even after coming back in. Is this only published publicly in AoS so far?

I think not. The new version isn't published yet.
