Describe the request
Currently, only elected admins can pause the game forcing players to elect an admin before official games which is something that rarely happens and is often forgotten. In the past, votepause has been suggested which is flawed by the fact that the opposing team needs to agree to the pause before the game reaches stoppage of play, costing valuable seconds.
Suggestion/solution
If a game has a matchtag set, which has become common practice for official games, allow any of the players in the game (not spectators) to type pause and the game is immediately paused. The reason why this is a favorable approach is because a pause can happen immediately in the event of a disconnect/crash/other emergency. It doesn't affect normal practice games/mix games as they tend to not use the matchtag feature. In a tournament setting, abuse would easily be spotted and reported and action can be made against the abusing player.
Perhaps each player should be given 3 pause per match, which can be communicated in console.
Also, servers should automatically pause when a player drops.
Summary
If matchtag is set, allow immediate pauses from all players.
