Random Spectator Mode In-Client

So with the Bilgewater events and such, the spectating box in the lower right corner is gone. I would guess that it's because of the ton of events and news going on right now. I don't know if this is permanent or not, but I just thought to say something because I do really miss it. If Riot isn't planning to return that, I hope that they'll just have a game spectating option tab when you press the Play button. I could always spectate a game in my friend list, but I like knowing what champions are in a game before I go in. Sometimes I spectate a certain game when I see a champion I'm trying to learn being played in that match. On the friend list, you can only see what champion that friend is playing. I don't like going into custom games to spectate, because players will know there's a spectator, and some people just don't like knowing that someone's watching. I would also enjoy a "refresh" option for random games to spectate. Here's to hoping that Riot gives us random spectating again! summoner 31 summoner 31 summoner 31

They often remove that box to make room for promoting a special event. It should come back after the event is over.

However, the games are still being featured, and you can use a third party application to watch them. I use the replay recorder BaronReplays, and you can browse and watch the featured games there even if they aren't currently being shown in the client (you can also choose to view different region's featured matches).
