"Be a Coach" mode carryover from TF2

I don't know how many people ever used this but it was introduced into TF2 likely over a decade ago. It allows you to spectate someone real-time and provide feedback for how they're playing. Could be anything from tips or suggestions about what they're doing well or could improve on just saying they're doing a good job etc. I only ever got it to work a few times since almost no one seemed to participate, but Deadlock is a game that requires several important foundational layers of knowledge to improve.

A mode like this that's more full fledged could allow users to rate coaches on their feedback with a 1-5 star rating, small paragraph text box, or just an up vote or down vote system like steam ratings. A few metrics could be,
  • Was your coach clear in their explanations?
  • Do you feel like you've learned something?
  • Would you recommend them to a friend
  • Any suggestions for them to improve?
This would also allow Valve to track users who have been highly rated by the community for coaching and they'd likely be more trusted when it comes to feedback, suggestions, and overall reliability.

Just an idea. Likely to never be implemented but would potentially foster friendships, improve the quality of matches, and be fun if there was incentive to coach.
