Spectate Mode Needs Improvement

With all the developments occurring on the Rift, it seems to me that Spectate Mode has become the forgotten, neglected love child. It is very rigid. And the interface and HUD are just not there. If I hit 'A' the only thing I get to see is the minimap and health...why not the overall score? Why can't I have more options to set it the way I want to watch my friends play. With as much or as little of 'extras' as I want. Why can't I set the target frame to look as how it looks when I play...so that when I watch and learn, I can see the combos without having to trace my eyes back and forth to see what combo does what....not to mention that the target frame is this itty bitty thing. I'm just thinking it's about time to give serious thought to how we spectate. Not only that, it's time we can watch the pros through spectate mode! How awesome?! I can watch Voyboy all game...not have some super-sleuth of a presenter just clicking around on the screen forcing me to watch whatever the producer says...'Ok camera 5'...I can zoom in...And advertisements? No problem. Seems to me that the World Cup is commercial free with a small ad in the upper-corner for some period of time. The commentators can be streamed into it as well. So they can talk, I can change ping volumes...(sometimes the pros go a lil crazy, yet Riot allows for reporting of excessive pinging...lmfao) Twitch TV can have its place for the streamers...but when it comes to the tournaments and championships, it should be specialized through a specialized and improved Spectate Mode. Comon' Riot. Besides that, the video quality as the championships and tournaments are currently streamed is just terrible.

Yeah, the spectator interface is outdated. Maybe changing the hud will make it look like you're not spectating a season 2 game. Also Voyboy left Curse I thought, but I get your example.
