Blizzard's Observer Hotkeys:

Advanced game hotkeys that you can add to your hotkey file (these are not accessible from the ingame UI)
(C:\Users\Ahli\Documents\Heroes of the Storm\Accounts\1234567890\Hotkeys -> edit your hotkey profile file):
ObservePreview=V
ObservePlayer10=Alt+1
ObservePlayer11=Alt+2
ObservePlayer12=Alt+3
ObservePlayer13=Alt+4
ObservePlayer14=Alt+5
ObservePlayer15=Alt+6
CameraTurnLeft=Insert
CameraTurnRight=Delete
- Alt+1/2 should allow you to follow the observers with your camera.
Some hotkey on 'C' that I currently don't know is able to enable/disable the camera following.
But you can hit the hotkey twice to follow the player (for example: Alt+1, then Alt+1 again -> follow the first observer's camera).
- Holding down Insert/Delete will rotate the camera up to 45 degrees to the left/right.
- Holding down V will give you the fog of the selected player.
Example of my hotkey profile file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4479839/Heroes/Interfaces/AHLI.StormHotkeys
Open it with a simple text editor to look at my hotkey settings or to edit them.

DONATIONS:
If someone has the urge to donate to me, you can do so with my paypal: c.ahlers@gmx.net
As per definition of a donation, you do not receive anything in return. Yes, nothing!
Anything else could be considered as 'selling' and I prefer to stay on the safe side.
Due to the Terms of Service of Blizzard their Battle.net platform, I cannot rent/license my UIs.
Thus, this UI is free to use for everyone under all circumstances!
I did not ask for a donation and you do not have to. I do this because of my passion for the game
and obviously because I am one of the few people that can actually do this, not for financial gain.
