Is spectator mode broken for anybody else?

Whenever I pick a game to spectate, it fails to load and I have to exit LOL.

I think it may be related to the current firewall issue, since it seems to coincide, but am not sure.

It has for me as well but I've made sure to permanently allow all League clients through my firewalls so I doubt that is the issue?

Yes, I'm also having the same issue. Either a black screen, or an error message that says "cannot connect to spectator mode" and a request to retry or cancel.

I also notice that when I go in, and then I start my task manager, the client is not responding during this. I don't know if that's normal or not, but it could be a clue.

I'm having the same issue here too but it seems not that many people are having it because I don't see it often on the forums, and I've had it happening to me for about a month or so, real annoying because I can't look at my replays or anything like that, even though LoLReplay is already fixed for the most part.

Hey, here's a bit of a new development for me. I went to the laundromat, which has Wi-Fi. I was able to spectate games fine, there, but not at my house. Do any of you have Brighthouse for your ISP? Because this issue might be specific to certain ISPs.
