Live Spectator Mode (Friends List ONLY)

I think it would be cool if you could spectate your friend's matches live, I would really like to talk to my friends and talk about what is currently happening in their match without a delay so we can all get excited about outplays and laugh at funny misplays together at the same time. I know it has a 5 minute delay to prevent ghosting, but my solution to this problem is locking the fog of war in spectate mode to the team that the friend you are spectating is on. This will make it that you can only see the enemy team if they are within vision of your friend's team.

If this were to be implemented I suggest add this spectator mode in addition the original and not replacing it because there will be people who prefer the current spectator mode.

Maybe if the camera was locked onto their champion with no hud. Because having someone glue their eyes on the minimap would be just as good as someone ghosting.

I doubt this will be ever implemented due to the potential abuse. However, if you want to do this with your friends you can by streaming via twitch or hitbox or by sharing screen with them in a program like Skype.

This is basically adding a coach. If they did this the cries from the general population would be deafening. Imagine the ranting about dynamic que being a thing on top of them having a 6th person coaching.

I wish we lived in a world where people were nice and wouldn't abuse this, but sadly there are many many people who would cheat using this, so I'll be on the no side of this one sorry.
