Dodging spoilers

I think the new stream format blows. I want to watch all the games unspoiled and apparently muting the current stream when its over is not enough. I have to hide behind w/e screen , try not to look especially around the edges to know when i can unmute the stream. I feel like im doing this monkey dance just to enjoy the lcs.

I wonder if anyone else is doing the same or if riot recognizes this is a terrible way to watch the stream.

If this does not improve i think the best way to watch lcs is through the vods which kind of destroys the whole point of live arena crap right? I hope something is done about it. Personally, i think trying to squeeze all these games on 2-3 days is the problem.

The sorry excuse for a spoiler warning at the start just doesn't cut it. If there are going to be two games going at once there either needs to be cross coverage, and therefore no possibility of being unspoiled, or full spoiler protection between streams.

As for the lack of comments, it's probably because this has been brought up in the boards alot. Which makes it kinda frustrating riot hasn't addressed this issue yet. I've basically just accepted it at this point that I'm going to be spoiled no matter what, and just try to watch whatever games that I can live or desire to.

When I come home and want to watch LCS games I log on to the LCS E-Sports page click NA go to schedule and try to put my hand in front of my face so I can block out most of the text that SPOILS the game before I get a chance to watch it, ANNOYING.

instead of saying this TEAM SOLOMID- VICTORY CLG-DEFEAT

INSTEAD DO THIS TEAM SOLOMID VS CLG ....... COMPLETED !

ITS NOT HARD RIOT

I don't really care about spoilers and I think this format will ultimately prove far superior to the old one where it's just an eight hour nonstop stream and you watch the team you care about play for like forty minutes followed up by a nrg smashing by immortals or something. I wish they would just stop trying to hide spoilers so we would get used to it. I don't care about knowing the results of whatever football or basketball game is going on at the same time as my team's game, and i found last weekend that I didn't care about knowing that immortals was stomping their opponent while I watched c9 play. You'll get over it eventually.
