Spectator Mode.

Would it be possible to make a second Spectate mode, that is real time but only for the team you are viewing? Like if your friend is blue team, you'd only have vision on blue team. Maybe after five minutes, ghosted images could show up of the enemy team where they were five minutes ago. I feel like you could help your friends get a little better, if you could watch them in real time and give them tips on where they need to be. It would be kind of like a coaching mode, more than a spectate mode I guess.

What do you all think?

EDIT: Adding this in.

It's not like this would become unfair, if you try to tell someone what to do move for move people can already do that by streaming on twitch. This would become more for like, team maneuvers. "Hey you know their top has been missing for a little bit, and their bot just went MIA maybe you should get ready for a TP to dragon" "Hey the jungler should probably ward drag sometime soon if he gets a chance"

I've played with my fair share of lower ELO, and new players. No matter what you do, mechanically they just have to kind of play to get better so this isn't going to make people just 'win games' cause a diamond is leading silvers.

Take this example for instance, let's take a high bronze or low silver game, one team has 5 actual bronze and silvers on the team. The other team has 4 bronze or silvers, and a diamond on a smurf. Which scenario is more fair? A diamond guiding maneuvers for 5 low elo players, or a diamond smurfing in the game crushing the opposition, and carrying his 4 friends who probably don't deserve to win?

I would really like to hear every ones thoughts, and maybe a rioter could come by and tell me why this would or would not work?

Too much to be abused. I mean whats stopping them from Skyping or something like that and helping them win all their games? its the reason why Spectating always has a delay. You can still help them with how its done now, so what would be the point?

What you are thinking of is called streaming.

That sounds like a great idea! It would really help out newer players like me.
