I think posting this in GD wasn't the best thing to do.

Any thoughts or input on this idea?

I think it would be nice to have the red/blue/purple buffs displayed next to a champs portrait while spectating. Have the icon as well as the rotating shade to see the duration.

Some quick Paint magic and this is what im talking about:
Obviously a team won't have baron at 3:51, but it illustrates my point. Also that is an older style spectator mode, but the buffs would be in the same place. I did not add the rotating shade to show duration either, but I think it would be worth it.

The past few days I've heard most commentators looking for buffs on champs as they are moving and wondering if a buff was stolen away or not. A simple UI addition will help see who has a buff and whether the duration was refreshed...
