Spectator Mode & It's delay

One thing that has always bugged me when i spectate friends, for example when i'm waiting for them to finish their game is the 3-minute delay. I can see why this is in place (to prevent exploits) A solution i thought of is to simply be spectating 1 side only (your friends side) so that you'd be able to ONLY see what their team see's, this would allow Riot to remove the 3-minute delay because you wouldn't be able to obtain any information that your team would be incapable of getting. Call it "Live Spectate" and keep the other spectate function (being able to see both teams) for those who want it Also, if Riot wants to be REALLY sure nobody exploits this, maybe Normals only?

heh, can you imagine that though? having someone on skype paying attention to the mini map the entire game. like a 6th summoner

It'd still be exploitable. You've now got no delay, you're in voice chat with your friend, calling out where/when you see the enemy jungler on the map so they don't have too. Three minute delay is perfectly acceptable.
