Sad thing is this happens all the time in low ELO.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Oh hey, this Teemo is low health. I'll just chase him into this bush and BOOM BOOM OHGODWHY.
I love playing Support/Jungle Alistar it's so satisfying to pull off a successful Q->W->into teammates for the kill. Although I usually end up knocking assassins toward my carry
.I feel like you people never link the actual patch notes so I always have to Google!

I still claim that automatically muting everyone's TEAMMATES might mean you get less verbal abuse than muting the other team, lol.

Good for new Mundo players. I remember when I first started playing League I would do this ALL the time with Mundo. I still do it accidentally from time to time.
I've been playing a lot of top Kayle and mid Kayle recently. One of my new favorite champs. Really depends who I'm fighting though, haven't tried her in ranked so I don't know what counters her hard yet.
yeah, i just started rank and my elo is like 920 :/
its not going up anytime soon if my team mate are trying new character and dying 15 times every game.

Just got a bug where my Dr Mundo kept playing Nocturne sounds instead. Oh Riot.
Yesterday I had a game where katarina had sounds (I think on the other team), but Sion's abilities and Graves' abilities were completely silent. Or at least some of them. I saw that thing about a ward making Graves' buckshot silent...why would that even be connected, lol.

Yeah I was positively surprised by it. It even seems to be able to track multiple kills occuring at the same time fairly well.
Although it does pull a snag here and there. I was looking over this moment where two guys were diving a loner in the bottom tower. Right at the moment when they were unleashing their burst, it switches to someone doing the double golems topside. I had to rewind back to look over the moment again, and apparently the loner survived the burst by using summoner heal.
Also, I wasn't able to stick to one player for an extended period of time. It was very insistent on swapping players every 4-5 seconds, which was somewhat irritating. Should be a way to stick to a player imo.
But yeah other then that, spectator = super awesome. All we need now is a proper replay- system and we're golden.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I can't imagine it's too far off - the spectator mode is basically a replay. I'm sure it's a significant investment as far as storage goes though.
The fact that it's possible to jump back and forth suggests that the technology is already in place.

This seems to be the general consensus, but there doesn't seem to be a system where replays are saved anywhere and can be opened.
One can imagine though that we're not that far off, since most of the functionality is already added by the looks of it.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Yes. I know you can do it with the controls down the bottom left, but there are hotkeys too which I forget.

Win a game +6
Lose a game -16
Fuck you stupid ranked system.

Yep, that's frustrating. Apparently it's something to do with what position you're in. If you get stuck with first pick, you will win or lose a lot of ELO. If you're last pick you may get stuck with support, but at least I guess you wouldn't lose (or win) more than 6 ELO. I'm not sure if the ELO loss amount goes down if you the game actually detects a leaver on your team or if you still get hit for the full penalty...it'd suck if it were the full amount.

I wonder if the server can handle 10k viewers.
How about you guys watch the spotlight, it tells you. Or you know, when you first use spec mode it tells you how to use it too!
(1,2,3,4,5 - q w e r t) hold to follow, click to select, double click to perma follow. Press D to switch back to directed mode (or if you aren't perma following, it will swap back to directed after 5s)
Its actually to do with your team elo. That -16 game is one where the system thinks you really should've won (your average elo higher than theirs)

It does a pretty good job of finding the action. Sometimes it flies away from a fight to focus on, say, the jungler fighting neutrals (maybe because more damage is being done?). Apart from that, I'm not sure how it could be improved, yet I'm probably going to be using manual control because one screen-width centred on one player often doesn't show enough of a big fight.
If you click on a player in-game, it separates unmodified and modified stats by colour, and hovering over them shows [base stat] + [modified by]. Spectator mode has neither of those things. Not a big deal, just something I'm used to seeing.

I actually just had a friend rage at me because I criticized his Garen build. I see good things coming from this!
I'd like a broader selection of ELO types featured.
Keep the high ELO feature in but have an option for viewers to see games comparable to their current ELO.
Spec mode is seriously awesome, I'm going to be watching my friends' games on my second monitor while writing essays for all of finals week now xd
98% of the time directed camera is perfect, really surprised how good it is! Only thing I could think of is that during little harassments and fights, it tends to follow the people who are basically winning the encounter, when what i want to watch is the ignited people who have a sliver of health, for example.

That's a lot cheddar.
Stealth Ahri buff.
It sounds like stacking health will be better than stacking armor for tanking turrets now, but I guess stacking health (with magic resist) has always been good since it's not like someone is going to build both madreds and void staff.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Late game buff though as it has more armor pen so turrets should do more damage to tanky people who get targeted.

I just spectated one of the featured games and for about three or so minutes, I watched an Udyr chase a Nidalee all over the map. It was like Yakety Sax was playing in the background.
