Listen, you know, I know, and everybody knows that people in North America that have lives can't watch Worlds live.
It's disconcerting to log on to lolesports the night after to catch up, and see the result as the lead story in the big picture box.
Thanks for ruining my Worlds viewing experience.
Hey folks,
We've built lolesports.com/vods to be a spoiler-free experience for catching up on the games you missed. Bookmark it, check it out and definitely give us feedback on what you'd like to see improved in that experience.
I use http://www.reddit.com/r/LoLeventVoDs/ for all my actual game viewing needs. Avoiding spoilers is one benefit, but they are also much better at organizing the game content and getting me to the start of the action quickly.
I only go to lolesports for live streaming.
They ruined last years finals for me. I had to work the night of the Season 3 World Championship finals; I get home, boot up and the first thing I see is "CONGRATULATIONS SKT1" plastered all over the front page. I've already learned that I literally have to avoid absolutely anything League related on the internet if I care at all about not having a game spoiled, but it's stupid posting these super spoiler titles all over the website and the client immediately after the games finish.
I stopped watching because of this. I logged in the other day to see the vod's of the c9 matches and first story before i could click anything was telling me that they'd lost. Well thanks, Riot. Guess I don't need to watch them. >.<
Haha, you actually watch that garbage.
Learn to dodge the spoilers scrub, ive been doing it for years
"Oh I missed the NBA finals and** I dont want any spoilers**. let me watch a downloaded version of it. However, before I do that, let me visit NBA.com for the hell of it...OMG DAMN NBA.COM for spoiling it for me".
WTF, are you guys that stupid and dense?
Like a one week grace period would be nice! ;-; Sometimes I don't have the time to binge watch all (possibly) 5 games in a single day. I'd like to watch the VoDs without knowing the outcome immediately.
Great TSM lost, lets see when they lost the one team-fight that sealed the deal. Oh hey C9 lost, DAMN THAT WAS AN AWESOME FIRST GAME!!!!!!!!! Great now I know that they're going to suck for the rest of it.
Agreed. With the matches streaming so late, I fell asleep into match 2/5, only to wake up and see the results spoiled on the frontpage news section.
To avoid seeing the winners, now I skip the news section entirely and go directly to the VOD section, which DOES hide the results:
So you'd rather waste time to find out the outcome of a 3-0 round? Not me. If it's a match I'm truly interested in I'll either get up earlier or still watch the replay to see what went well/wrong. Other then that, it's like people who record football, why? If I can't watch it during the initial broadcast I just want to know the outcome and the highlights and then move on.
I got burned by this as well. Now, instead of the main page, I've set my favorites to bring me directly to the VODS page:
Seriously, it makes me want to strangle babies. Broadcasts games @ 3am the post spoilers in the morning, fucking idiots.
I agree, they really need to stop posting scores on the main page. All of NA just wakes up and finds the score right in their face before they even see the match.
lets focus more on the broken servers 1st thank you.
I miss league of legends entirely!!!
I'm surprised people actually really care about esports.
why shouldn't they spoil it? It is not a movie, it is sports. Scores are always spoiled when you go to a site for sports. So what did you think would happen at the lolsports page?
Honestly I just go to twitch and go to Riot's channel... go to past broadcasts and you can just watch the latest worlds broadcasts right there. Spoiler free.
The only spoiler I have noticed is if it's like a best of 5 match and one team is up 2-0 and the video only has like 30 minutes left on it... well... guess who is gonna go 3-0?
Kinda sucks.
Thanks for the tip, Smoking. I'll definately have to start using this. Sort of sad that we need to use 3rd party sites to do stuff that Riot should be able to figure out and execute on their own though.
