Mentor Mode

It's really hard to get help or to help people because the spectator has a time delay, there is still no replay functionality, and it requires the use of an external chat program, which not everyone can use without inducing excess lag. What would be nice would be to have a special spectator mode called Mentor Mode. In mentor mode, the watcher gets 0 information the player does not have. He sees EXACTLY what the player does, no added camera controls or other functions, but he sees it in real time. Essentially it is streaming, but only to 1 person. In this mode the mentor could type (only visible to the mentee) in game chat. The advantage of having this built in is that streaming is taxing on the streamer's system and makes the game act differently and there is no way in-game for the mentor to chat. This could be handled by RIOT's servers just like spectator with no impact.

This mode would only be available in normals since in ranked it could be used to have a second person spot incoming ganks (although you can technically just use streaming to have that happen right now anyway).

I like this idea. I have a lot of friends who are new to League, and this would be a valuable tool in helping them learn the basics. Though there may be a problem in coding, or this may add more strain to Riot's servers.

As long as its not usable in ranked that'll be fine for me at least.

Seems great and a way to actually help rookies out.

#Riot please.

This seems like a really cool teaching tool for League. I have an idea to add: giving permission to certain friends to use Mentor mode; that way you wouldn't have random people watching your game that you didn't want. This could fix some of the cheating problems since you can only give it to players you trust.

League should have a inbuilt streaming system like mine-craft has with twitch. This would be nice as it would be less taxing on computers and it would be easier to access comments and stuff like ads and all that. They should have a mentor mode that when a summoner is in a game they can invitee someone to come and "mentor" them. That would be nice for newer players and even higher level players as you make a lot of mistakes in game that you don't see because your to busy playing.
