So I just discovered this when watching my friends play. I noticed this when enemy team got dragon and that there was a 3 minute delay for the spectate mode. Then I thought to myself, isn't that a disadvantage because then I would be able to tell my friends when dragon would be up even though they don't have a dragon timer? Same goes for baron. Discuss?
Rainlein1 votesIf you are keen, you can just keep a tab on the dragon count in game stats to get dragon's timer anyway. Knowing dragon's spawn time and being able to contest it are still two different things. I don't think it's that game-breaking.
Baron is even easier since its buff has a timer. Just click on the enemy champ when you see their baron buff and you can calculate baron's death time.
MPendragon1 votesThe entire point of there being a delay in the spectator mode is so that you CANT tell when the timers are up.
Apple Watch1 votesits like this. say a friend is spectating your game.
He says to you in private /r chat "the enemy team is taking baron their all low" because he is spectating live. you then rush over to baron and score a pentakill and a baron smite steal.
There is a delay so your friends can't spectate and tell you whats happening (or so you can't have a computer next to you spectating your own game and knowing what the enemy is doing all the time)
Narrate1 votesI understand that there's a delay but once you get the difference in delay you can calculate for your friend when baron or dragon comes up.
JustMyBassCannon1 votes...There are timers for Baron, Dragon, and both sides' Reds and Blues. Look at the scoreboard during the game at the top of the screen.
Apple Watch1 votesthat is very true. But its for the point above. so you can't be on skyey with them or something and say "their xin is on 100 hp at their red go kill him" or some thhing like that (:
