There is. Referees can't interact with players, that means no chat or ping.

You got them mixed up. Observers can't interact, referees can.

An observer cannot communicate in any way shape or form with a player. A referee can all chat, private message, etc.

do not change it. Just stop pinging man. Obs has always been ok in lihl, because ppl knows u should never ping. So we are not gona change it just cuz u are not smart to stop pinging. How about u stop obs if cant control ur ping desires?

Oh yeah you're right. Anyway, if we want a solution to the pinging problem, then there would be an easy one. However, observers would then not be able to chat with the players anymore, idk if we would want that in a casual league like LIHL. I think that would be a much bigger problem than the pinging thing currently is :D

Kinda sums it up. We are unlikely to adjust any bot configurations because you cant stop pinging.
