Viewer Mode: Can we improve this awesome feature?
Viewer mode is such an awesome feature for this game. Everyone from low Bronze to high Diamond can use it to learn! By watching other players you can learn new ideas and techniques or just adapt your gameplay/champion pool to the current meta.
Take-aways from Viewer Mode: -CS techniques(when should I use Syndra's Q to push the wave vs. using it to harass?) -Jungle routes(Do I start bottom side so I can gank the Nasus early or do I gank the bully bot lane first?) -Skill leveling(sure, the guides are good, but every situation is different...when should I level Ori W over Q?) -Matchups(what does the Tryndamere do to survive the lane against Teemo?) -Itemization -Many more....
I enjoy taking a peek at Viewer Mode when I see a matchup I've struggled with or a champion that I'm trying to learn.
But here's my issue: By the time I get into the game, I've missed almost everything I wanted to see!
Currently in the queue I'm looking at games that are between 10-16 minutes into the game. I have seen games as low as 8 minutes in. By that point in the game I have missed the early skill leveling, the crucial early jungle routes and ganks, the important level 2, 3, and 6 power spikes, and most lanes are already decided.
Can we please find a way to watch the Viewer Mode games from the beginning?? Perhaps buffer it somehow?
What are your thoughts, worth?
