RIOT - Why do you hate your eSport fans (and your own eSports team) so much...?

...after almost a DECADE of creating a show around professional eSports in LOL, especially around Worlds, that quality and excitement-wise rivals the best sports show on US Television - you STILL are incapable of NOT SHOWING FUCKING SPOILERS ON THE HOME SCREEN of your game client.

Not everybody can watch live at 1am in the US... some of us have to WORK for their money, not play video games all day like you (except your eSports team, who clearly works their asses off to create an excellent product). That means we want to watch the VODs the next days.

And what do you do? You ruin the experience by telling me who won... I'd really call that IDIOTIC under normal circumstances, but since you are clearly not idiotic, you must hate us and your eSports team :(

Why?

Why don't you bookmark the Vod page so you don't have to see the spoilers on such page?

I always go to EpicSkillShot on youtube and just watch the VODs he uploads. No spoilers and he usually has all the games uploaded as soon as 30 mins to an hour after it wraps up. He's the real MVP. I never watch VODS on the website for this very reason.

just opened my client to see if it spoiled anything. and it doesn't it shows who is going to play next, but you have to actually hit the arrows to see who won the last matches. which means you are choosing to spoil it for yourself.

After work I've been going to the loleports youtube, then setting the rebroadcast back to the start and watching it from there, (I don't like being spoiled on game times like you get in the individual game vods) best way I've found to avoid spoilers.

Its garbage that I have to jump through those hoops, but hey.

The way I avoid it is avoid any sites that contains the spoilers before I watch the game.
