It's been a while since i last saw the featured games in the client and i miss spectating random games. Why are they gone? Are they coming back?

Here's what I do.

  1. Log in to the League client.
  2. Click on the profile button to see your profile.
  3. Click on the Leagues button. (It's second from the left in the line of buttons that includes Match History, Champions, Runes, etc.)
  4. Click "View Challenger Tier" in the bottom right corner of the interface.
  5. Find the dropdown menu near the top-right corner of the interface, which, by default, says "Top 5v5 Teams" and select "Top Ranked Players".
  6. Scroll down through the NA Challenger tier looking for a player who has an eye icon next to them.
  7. Right click on that player and select the spectate option.

This lets me spectate games with great players (the NA Challenger tier) in them at almost any time. Usually at least one person in that tier is playing a game.

You might even find that there's someone who plays a champion you really like and as long as they stay challenger, you can see if they're playing. Bobjenkins is a Kennen main, so I like to watch him.

League of legends folder>rads>projects>lol_air_client_config_(folder with your server name)>releases>(take newest version)>deploy>lol.properties

Edit this file and delete url from lobbyLandingURL=(Delete This)

You will be able to spectate games again, but you'll have outdated news on client. Doesn't affect playing games, player profile, store etc.

You're welcome. :)

When SoloQ stopped existing and DynamicQ too his place, the unseen spaghetti code striked and games from the spectate box were not spectatable anymore.

(Riot needs to re-do the code... I'm guessing they won't do it?)

  2. Click 'Live Game'.
  3. Click 'Spectate'.
  4. Follow instructions.

Yeah I really miss the DUMBMODE for viewing games.

it was all there and ready, no braining required.
