Better spoiler protection

If you navigate to lolesports "watch" you're instantly assaulted by the scores of the most recently played games on the schedule. Can you not? Make a better spoiler feature that's on by default or presented as an option when navigating there. Do something. The surprise factor of watching games is a big thing for me. NOT MANY PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THE UNDERDOGS WON BEFORE WATCHING!

Hopefully all the work you'll be putting in to our watching experience this year solves this. I guess in the mean time I'll just have to navigate directly to VODs.

Yeah, I have had VODs bookmarked to jump stright there for a while because of this. But this time it was spoiled for me simply by logging into the client. They're making it unavoidable.

Yeah, just realized that. They need to add spoiler blocker to the client as well! I tried Dota2 for a little bit and they have a proper spoiler blocker option...

Meh wouldn't affect me either way - I like to know the result before the game. The journey's what matters for me, not the destination. So knowing that the destination is an interesting one helps decide whether I want to take the journey.

For me, the game becomes too predictable if I know the result and approximate duration. I like surprises on my journies, lol, but I understand your last point.

Counterpoint: Every C9 win this World's. Knowing C9 is going to won does not tell you anything about the craziness that will ensue within the game ;)

But, in the end, to each their own. :)

That's honestly so true for them this entire year, and their drafting has been on point lately!

I wish you had to opt-in to spoilers when visiting lolesports. Waa trying to double check who had played the day before so I could find it on my TVs YouTube app and spoiled that semifinal match that G2 won. At least it's better than it was in s2 and s3.

I don't know what's up with Riot. They always add obvious features so slowly.. probably will be another year till we see this.
