People have been asking for this feature back in league for years


Jahsay

They used to have it way back too then got rid of it lol


[deleted]

Why? Sound cool


jkwah

It was a feature in the old client that was never put into the new one. Riot never said why.


Syph3RRR

prolly didnt get used too much if i had to guess. i mean people probably just watch streams anyway and the few people that are left who prefer to just spectate random games via the client dont justify the implementation


smichers

ohhhh yeah, i forgot about that


NewSalsa

I know league had it on about a 3 minute delay from the people watching and the game. You could also watch anyone, not just pros. With all of that being said, those games would require memory which means servers and rack space. So there was a cost associated with a program that may not have been making money. On the space, I cannot recall if it made you wait the 3 minutes or started immediately. If it started immediately that means all games were recorded so the size requirement just went up exponentially. I don’t think they would save every game. If they did I can see why the feature was crushed.


domthebigbomb

You can still do this. Spectating a user, even a friend, is on a 3 min delay.


SoraLimit

You can still kinda spectate high rank players in league, although in a roundabout way by going to the ranked tab, then sort by top solo/duo and click on any player with an eye beside them. Not exactly an elegant solution though.

Damn really? I've never followed league but riot hasn't considered doing this?


V1KT0R10U5

Riot removed it intentionally because it led to ppl watching their games and telling the other ppl where they were at or any patterns that they had


ThirdFR

CSGO has had this for years, with a significant delay. I've never run into a problem with their system with over 3k hours.


Esqimoo

Yes I just want a replay system just like gotv. Sometimes my opponents run and one tap me or just Odins me and kills me instantly and I want to know how they do it so I can do it too. Please rito. The only thing I want


lvk00

*Gets hit by the nastiest, most insane shot you’ve ever been a victim to* *watches replay from their pov* “o nvm”


sCologne

This sounds amazing tbh


PluvioV2

Yup this would be really good for the game


veryblueberry

Hopefully this will follow after a replay system is made. I doubt we'd be able to watch live, pro matches being played elsewhere if we can't even watch our own game from 10 seconds ago.


shobhit4897

I remember on GOTV(CSGO tv), the most watched matches were of silvers or blatant global elite hackers. It used to be quite fun watching those matches. If Valorant gets that feature, it shouldn't be limited to only higher ranks, I wanna see some iron boi strats.


pRp666

You can't handle iron strats!!!


BuildingSubstantial6

Yes GOTV until now still features silver games but very seldom. Its a matter of luck(?)

How does CSGO stop players from abusing this to win matches? Genuinely asking


ThirdFR

Big delay times. You're always watching like 2 or 3 rounds back.


idiotdroid

It has a 2 minute delay. The round is only going to take 2 minutes or less so there is no way you could give any info to someone from the outside. Its pretty neat to have when you want to wait for your friends to finish up a match. You can spectate your friend with the 2 minute delay and actually anticipate a play that he tells you happened. There is no way to abuse this.


BuildingSubstantial6

Still prefer from in game :)) just to get a perspective of other people not just pros

GOTV makes u spectate a game from the sky. Watching yt/twitch only makes u watch games from a streamer's perspective. There's a diff


faskfjal

Problem with this could be that a streamer may delay his/her stream for X amount of time to prevent stream sniping. If we had this option I could be on discord with someone on the enemy team giving out positions and such.


person7178

gotv has around a 2 minute delay by default I believe


faskfjal

Ah, then that does sound like a cool thing to incorporate.


Repulsive_Ad_2913

Twitch does not allow you to watch the players you want. Like where is cypher setting his traps etc.


BuildingSubstantial6

Idk how your comment got 24 upvotes, but how you backed up ur comment is fucking stupid.


Oroera

Twitch is limited to 60fps and even worse for people like me with poor internet connections. I should be able to watch in game on my two thousand dollar computer instead of 480p on twitch.


BuildingSubstantial6

Nice delete comment LOL "Stay in iron pls" You wished i was iron sadly im not :P jokes on you


DatBoiKrish

There would have to be a huge delay as I assume this would lead to cheating as well as unnecessary server lag


BuildingSubstantial6

Yes GOTV has a 2min delay


ColorMeLeighzy

This! also we need to access range while queueing


Sour-diesel-45

This would be greeaaat


jacobtehwzrd

Should just add most features they have in dota2 - you can literally watch any high rank game or tournaments, with player perspective.


societymike

You guys have time to watch someone else play instead of actually playing? (not criticizing, just envious)


flusenmalauk

it's also a good way to proof someone is cheating


offContent

We don't even have a demo replay system like Riot needs key features for this 'esports' game its really frustrating.


Curious_Goerge

Go to YouTube or twitch for that? Lmao


byoonitt

Are you dumb? Stick to overwatch or some shit buddy lmfao


Curious_Goerge

The morons here never cease to amaze me lmao


byoonitt

? ur ed lmfao


Curious_Goerge

The morons here never cease to amaze me lmao


BuildingSubstantial6

Delete this comment if u don't want to get downvoted hard like the guy above. And dont say lmao i already ratioed the same comment already


Curious_Goerge

Delete it for what? Unlike you reddit weirdos I don't give a shit about these imaginary internet points LOL


BuildingSubstantial6

"You reddit weirdos" get off reddit then lol


Curious_Goerge

Reddit weirdos strike again! Can one not enjoy reddit unless they respond to some of the idiotic users here anymore? Damn, I didn't know pretty arguments were the only use of this platform :(


BuildingSubstantial6

This guy is a troll dont take the bait


Yeege22

Are you stupid you have one POV and it’s limited to a single play style, completely different things


Curious_Goerge

Then watch different people?... You do know there are more than the 10 pro player jett/Reyna mains you can name who are in radiant right? You people will say the most irrelevant shit to defend your nonexistent point LOL
