Spectator Mode is Now in Open Beta!

[quote=TheJohn][quote] Summoners! It is our pleasure to announce that we’ve moved from limited beta phase of our upcoming Spectator Mode feature into open beta. You will now be able to utilize this highly anticipated feature in custom games at any time of your choosing. We’ve been following the feedback in the limited beta closely, and we want to assure you this is just the first step. Spectator Mode will continue to receive major updates in future patches as we improve this new feature. While spectating a match you will have the option to follow specific players, follow the perspective of both teams, remove the fog of war, etc. to help you get a better view of the battlefield. Whether you’re a hobbyist interested in learning more about a particular playstyle or a shoutcaster interested in commentating on competitive play, Spectator Mode is the perfect tool for the job. This is just the first installment of a feature you’ve been asking for; we look forward to working with you to make Spectator Mode a fantastic tool for students of the Fields of Justice and shoutcasters alike!

You can auto-enter a custom game as spectator, that's really nice. You go to champion selection screen. There you'll wait until everybody lock in and the match start. But it doesn't start for you, there's a 3 min delay. After 3 mins, you'll enter the game. The system works like RIOT streams, you can deactivate fog of war, check the skills each person has, items, CDs. I could even see the bonuses of Nasus' Q. When you quit the match, it askes if you want to reconnect or really quit. It's really nice. I hope they let us spectate normal and ranked matchs in the future.[/quote]

[quote=Lazukin]Really like the Spectator Mode. While Riot did take their time a bit on this one, I'm more than satisfied with the result.[/quote]
