An idea for a very good compromise for League's lack of replays of competitive games

Now that, as of 8.10, we can view the replays of others: it would be very nice if tournament realm games (NA/EU LCS, etc.) would be recorded into the players' accounts' match histories. This is a good compromise that lets us spectate competitive games client-side with (probably) minimal work.

This is a functionality that has been wanted in League of Legends for a very long time: the ability to be able to watch competitive LoL client-side and/or in a viewing medium that allows us to be able to view the game from whoevers' perspective we wish.

This change would probably be a "band-aid" fix (because we wouldn't be able to spectate competitive games from other regions other than our own), but it would offer so much to the community for (I would assume) relatively little work that I think it would be worthwhile supporting the recently-added replay functionality.

I think its probably a long shot for this to happen because there really is not an huge demand for increased ability to watch competitive games. Almost all competitive games from most regions are extremely easy to find on youtube (just type in the matchup and 3+ vods will pop up).
