D: Noes!Teemo. Don't ask me why Teemo is at mid but I enjoy constantly murdering that yordle.
anyone who play free character for the first time in rank is a retard.
D: Noes!
Playing Normal mode lately to mess around with Alistar. One thing about Normal is teams are quick to surrender. I had each of my 4 games end around the 20 minute mark. I may be preferring Alistar to Taric.
Now has a short cooldown upon activation (to avoid accidental disabling)
Sad thing is this happens all the time in low ELO.
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.Just got a bug where my Dr Mundo kept playing Nocturne sounds instead. Oh Riot.
Yeah I was positively surprised by it. It even seems to be able to track multiple kills occuring at the same time fairly well.Oh man, this directed camera. It works so damn well.
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.But yeah, spectator = super awesome. All we need now is a proper replay- system and we're golden.

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 with summoner heal.

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.The fact that it's possible to jump back and forth suggests that the technology is already in place.
Since I can't test it right now, is there anyway to switch the camera between directed mode and player-following/free-camera mode?
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.Win a game +6
Lose a game -16
Fuck you stupid ranked system.
I wonder if the server can handle 10k viewers.To help us kick Spectator Mode off in style, well be featuring a very special best of three match later today:
Team SoloMid vs. Epik today at 6:00 PM PDT
LoLReplay saves replays in its own fileformat (.lrf) which can be launched within the replay- client, I'm pretty sure Riot could cook up a similar solution and integrate it to the PVP.net- client.They probably just need to settle on a media format. The current spectator mode temporarily stores replays and deletes them at the end of the game.

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!Yeah I was positively surprised by it. It even seems to be able to track multiple kills occuring at the same time fairly well.

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.

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)Win a game +6
Lose a game -16
Fuck you stupid ranked system.
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.Directed Camera
- Does it show you what you want to see during a match?
- How do you feel about the camera motion/movement?
- Have you switched from Directed to Manual camera control? Thoughts about the process?
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.Spectator HUD
- Thoughts about the information displayed? Too much? Info missing?
Since I'm such a popular guy, I expect to have to put 75% of my friends on ignore since they'll all be watching my games and spamming me with "YO DAWG YOU SHOULD HAVE BUILT SORC SHOES" whispers, thus causing me to miss crucial ingame combos.
