The 6th Man

They should introduce a mode with a 6th man, designated as the team leader. He wouldn't control a champ. Instead he would be able to just oversee the map and direct the team. ?

Using screen-sharing, this is possible over a network. Sharing a screen between two people is actually beneficial in certain roles, like ADC, where there is always s clear-cut moment at which one player engages 100% control. Most of the time is just farming, and player-two, who's pinging calls on the minimap via screen-share (or sitting next to one another...)

But what I'd really like to see is the ability to jump a second computer in when necessary. A lot of games are lost due to disconnections, and having the ability to fill empty slots with trusted allies would be an invaluable tool for escaping "Elo Hell." I'm on a call with a duo buddy, and she's in a 4v5. I'm waiting to join the duo ranked queue for the end of her game specifically, which she entered solo. We're on one another's Friend-List. Should I not be able to right click her name, and have a 'fill disconnected slot' option? Or maybe be able to fill guild rosters for such an option?
