I literally can't watch all the action anymore

In every previous season I've been able to watch every game of every region that I like, NA/EU/LCK. Now, with the multiple streams at the same time, I have to choose which games to watch, miss out on the live action of the games I can't watch, and get spoiled by the casters for the games I'm not watching. Previously, I could watch a VOD to catch any games I missed, and was not spoiled by the live broadcast, since there weren't any duo streams.

I can't be the only one who feels this way. It's just too convoluted now and viewers aren't getting the full Esports experience that they used to get. We are getting half of the content we used to get in the same amount of time.
"BUT TAZIMUSS, YOU'RE GETTING TWICE THE CONTENT IN HALF THE TIME, YOU IDIOT!" No, we aren't.

I just wish that I could tune in to a broadcast, watch the whole thing, and not miss anything. That's not the way it is now. I love the best of 2/3 format for NA/EU, but hate that I can't watch them all and that they're spoiled. It seems Riot is trying to act like Football (NA or otherwise) with these simultaneous broadcasts. Please, leave Football to Football.

A solution to this is to broadcast every day, not twice as much in two days. That way we could watch every single match, not miss out on anything, and not be spoiled.

Please, hear a humble fan's request to stop these simultaneous broadcasts. Pretty please.

I like the duo streams, I just don't understand why they have to give spoilers in between games. Why not just have 2 analysis desks . That way I can watch one set of games live and the other set on VOD without spoilers on either

I don't mind the dual streams as I'm not someone that has to watch every single game. I have my fav teams and generally want to watch them. I also don't really mind have some games to watch over the course of the week during lunch breaks and such. To add to all that, I think the Bo3 is better for gauging which team is actually better.

I guess they could change their schedule though to spread over 5 days. That would prevent overlapping, but then you have games on Thursdays and such which isn't good some most people.
