Would it be possible to add a spectate feature to the LOL APP for smartphone? It could be an optional feature to add after the download of the main LOL app client, since it would require further space on the smartphone.
FOR JUSTICE1 votesfrom a technological standpoint, probably not, simply because of how as you stated it requires its own league client to run. because replays tell the client how to recreate the game instead, you would literally need said phone/tablet to be able to run league itself essentially.
but at that point you could literally just play the game on the smartphone
Quell Seeker1 votesbut a lot of smartphones have the minimum specs to run the lol client... and yes, you could play lol on the smartphone too but... it would be really unconfortable! So the spectate mode only would be fine :)

most smartphones use some sort of variation of all-winner series processors, which cant handle multi threaded processes as heavy as league (relatively speaking). that would require some HEAVY optimizations. from a practical point of view, it wouldn't be worth the effort, time, and money for riot to actually put into it. they already have enough problems as it is debugging this for PC, so imagine them having to run it on a lesser product.
