I really liked it and the fact that you could switch back and forth from news to the spectate board. Why the hell did they get rid of it? I thought it was nice and unique. I didn't have to go to lengths just to find a decent game to watch.
Naenia11 votesYESSSSS!!!! I've been wondering about this myself. I really enjoyed being able to watch the "featured" games. Please bring this back, Riot!
GULAG 4 U1 votesI assume it was because of ghosting, but idk.
Karma Serves5 votesThey had a 3 minute delay, so I don't think that was a problem.
warmcorntortilla1 votesalso if you're ghosting for a friend you can still spectate their game.
nDoro2 votesThey should have gotten rid of the spectator mode entirely then
ShinobisDemon9 votes(Assuming it drew attention away from Esports)
nDoro8 votesLiterally no one but the top 0.01% of Leaguers play like they do. Watching them is irrelevant sometimes when I want to learn.
StainlessTweedle2 votesThat's the problem. Us learning isn't what they're aiming for... Also it makes me mad that they didn't even bother to mention when they removed it. Hopefully they'll bring it back with the new client.
Eldritch Blast5 votesThey got rid of it to make room for advertisements about their next skin set.
nDoro3 votesThey can just put in the switch option like they used to, but no, they decided to get rid of it entirely. Stupidass move if you ask me.
Navarune3 votesI took a break for several months and came back to find this gone as well. I miss this feature as well.
Sarutobi3 votesHonestly they need to realize that there are people in the community that doesn't care about pro-players/tournaments/allchat or any other advertisement they fill the client with. Some people just care about the game. It would be nice if there was a way to switch it but it's not their priority and I highly doubt they even make a way to only show the game. They care too much about the community that they will force it any way possible.
I would be surprised if down the road the game will have billboards or some form of advertisement to watch the next all chat, or upcoming tournament!
nDoro2 votesYou're right, Riot is trying to drive us into some fandom bullshit that we don't want to be a part of. I don't care about the people in /All Chat, I don't care about professional teams, sure it's fun to watch Worlds but otherwise it's the same shit, and I most certainly don't care about cosplay. They "care so much about the game" that they dish out these half assed champions so freaking often now, but ironically refuse to cater to those who want to center around games more than the fanbase community. I wish they would take as much time fixing shit as they do making these ass champions just for a little bit. If different people do different things in Riot, they should to prioritize the "fixing shit" department more.
Jimmyyy1 votesI love your name :^)
NoobTangerang2 votescus rito are money whores more skin ads yay
nDoro1 votesThere was a switch option that didn't take away space from the ads.
GateTheKiller2 votesyeah i wondered this too ; seeing plat diam randoms matchs is a good thing for lol players experiences [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] so why removeing it???
General Esdeath 1 votesGonna guess it took like 3 people away from their streams or something. Or they should have a choice in being watched or not.
nDoro1 votesThey supposed to be watching /All Chat?
General Esdeath 2 votesMan why learn from pro players when you can watch small YouTubers ruin their careers? :^)
A Bad Nasus1 votesThe answer is LolReplay2. This question has been asked several times and I doubt they'll add it back in at this point...
Ace Access 1 votesyep..... personally I enjoyed watching the games on howling abyss though they were rare to begin with Q_Q but very entertaining
y u do dis rito, u took away my movie night Q_Q [zombie-nunu-tears]
cocacolalips1 votesThey said it was a technical issue with the client, and they were too lazy / don't care / their team is busy with the new client to bother fixing it.
nDoro1 votesI doubt it would take more than a day to fix that. It's been up and running for YEARS up until now.
Hexor1 votesI remember that i saw the Front page spectator Option 2-3 days ago. It was a korea girl streamer and her client had one. Does that mean that Koreans have this in their LoL client?
