@Riot - Can Spectators get some love?

Hey Riot! I know that you are working crazy hard all the time on so many things, but if it wouldn't be too much trouble, a little love for spectator would be amazing for those of us who use the feature (I use it multiple times every week).

BUG- Pyke Ghostwater Dive is WAY too loud. - I am sure you have noticed in LCS that Ghostwater is crazy loud. No need to say anything else. BUG- Custom game player's rank changes randomly when they move spots. It'll sometimes show their real rank, sometimes show their Flex rank, sometimes show the player they just switched with's rank, sometimes will just so something completely random. Very frustrating when trying to set up even skilled teams.

Quality of Life QoL- When someone creates a custom game, regardless of where they go (Team 1, Team 2, Spectator), if they could retain control over when the game starts, that would decrease a LOT of confusion. QoL- Can we increase Spectator's to 6? The more camera men I am using, the more slots of spectator I use. QoL- Can the game owner have full control over what players are on what side? If player 4 on Team 1 needs to be switched with player 2 on Team 2, the game owner can do it just my dragging one on top of the other. QoL- Can players ask to switch roles with another player? The use of spectator mode to switch sides or pick order for each team is so confusing and very difficult to use. Would mean the world if players could request to trade a spot with another player, and they then can accept it. QoL- Can spectators PLEASE be able to set the default role for the windows and game setup when they load into a game? It's maddening to every single game start and have to press U and O to drop the timer window down and the stats window up.

Suggestion- Would be wonderful to have a game mode to lock down one lane particular (Top, Mid, or Bot) where you can't walk anywhere but that one lane. Would make it WAY easier and better to run 1v1's or practice your lane vs 1 advanced Bot or coach or anything. I know it /can/ be done in custom games, but it's a lot harder when your top wave of minions is taking turrets and changing up the gold in your inventory in the mid lane. Suggestion- Would be awesome if we have an "audience" role, that couldn't join a game, but could just watch. Much like spectator, but complete disinterest in playing. Just want to watch the game. Would allow easy access to spectator without taking up a slot that players use to move or "camera men" in spectator need.

If I think of anything else, I will add it, but any of these would make running some of these smaller, non Riot, tournaments WAY easier. And as there are more and more tournaments, these changes will be desired more and more.
