Riot, why are you hiding YouTube tutorials from players?

I recently created a smurf on EUW so I could still play League in the event of a server crash on NA. Well, since servers were down today, I decided to hop on this account play a game or two. The first thing I noticed as I logged in were all these videos about basic skills in League.

Upon actually viewing them in YouTube, I saw that they were all unlisted, and the only way to reach them was to go to this link which was one of the tiles on the client.

Riot, why are you hiding these tutorials form players? They should be available on your YouTube channel in a playlist or something, not accessed from the client for only a few levels. I found that they did a good job of explaining the broad concepts that are key to starting out in League; so why are they so obscure?

I wonder why the made it unlisted?! It would be very beneficial to new players. Also they really need to update the tutorial level of league. In one of the tutorials they make ashe buy a thornmail which is quite weird.

it's because there are secret messages in those videos

A stickied thread on the EU Boards also has the series as its first link: http://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/new-player-advice-euw/5bMpnRmG-looking-for-something

Maybe they're not hiding them, and just screwed up how they are linked up?

Damn the narrator in the tutorial vids has a nice voice.

This is a little gem From lord faker and Rapidstar. If you put on the captioning and watch they explain various roles and how to's very well

yeah, this would've pretty helpful for when I first came to league, I'm a level 30 now I did not know many things that the videos said as a solo player, like indictor when minions target you,

They have a lot of things unlisted, including videos like the Leona vs Diana one. I think they just don't want it being spammed in their channel by people searching it for other reasons than playing the game (Maybe someone who wants to recruit some Riot animatiors and watches the videos on YT to see if they're quality or not) but they should put the link somewhere on EVERY client for new people to see.
