Alot of people are skipping over this in favor of the new champions, but the Riot reps confirmed spectator mode (which I assume includes replays) in the livestream. They didn't show them but they were offereing to show it off along with the new champs. It's right around 8 hours in this vid if you want to check it yourself!

The stream cut out before they showed it, but hey.. confirmed is confirmed!

spectator mode at least from other sources (IGN) does not seem to include replays.

It will be observation of custom games only at first and the game must be going on. Its a nice feature for tourneys... but its really not going to give us a good casting environment like Day9 or Husky for starcraft which would be a huge boon for LoL.

Granted... we still dont have all the details and its possible replays are there. I really fing hope so.

It's definitely a step in the right direction though.


Sort of weird that LoL doesn't have proper replay functionality....

The only thing spectator mode is useful for is tournaments. If you expect to see top tier players play customs and allow random pubs to join, you're sadly mistaken. To the maybe 90% of LoL players, spectator mode is completely useless.

I still do not understand why people are so excited for spector mode. Yes it would be cool but when exactly would you ever use it? Also do you really want people to be joining your game and going spector mode? I would have to answer I would not use it ever and I would not ever want people in my game that go spector.

Our goal was to have spectator mode ready for Dreamhack to improve the shoutcasting and streaming experience for everyone. As such the system currently supports custom games only. This does not mean the Dreamhack version of spectator represents the final feature set or scope for the system.

As for replays, we previously mentioned the new patcher was the first technology hurdle we had to cross to build the feature. Spectator mode represents another big step towards making it a reality.

what about pauses

the qualifiers were ruined because we didn't have pauses
