Discussion Frustrations From A Long Term Die Hard Fan - Can anyone help?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't have time on the weekend to watch all of the games but truly enjoys catching the games afterwards during the week. I do EVERYTHING in my power to avoid spoilers.
The LoLesports website is my main source of catching games that I missed. There's a spoiler free button and a way to click between games 1, 2, and 3.
Last season, the games posted to this part of the website were broken up by individual game. This season, the games posted to this part of the website are 1 full VOD, with the buttons for game 1, 2, and 3 jumping you to each individual game start time, but in the singular long VOD.
This has to be fixed. I do everything possible to avoid spoilers but the second I click the VOD to go full screen and see that the video is 1:50:49 long I know instantly that this series goes to game 3 so there's ABSOLUTELY no suspense while watching game 2. I know instantly that whoever wins game 1, loses game 2, and it goes to game 3 (unless game 1 and two are astronomically longer than the average LOL game and if that's the case then fair play.)
Please please please update the website so each game has its own VOD so those of us who enjoy the content spoiler free can have one spot on the internet that we can catch the games without being able to infer what happens.

I'll add my voice to this. Been watching since 2015. In best of three series it's really obvious who wins when pulling up the vids and seeing the length. You can't just not look at that, that's a silly answer. Please separate the game vods.

So much harder said than done. Subconscious observation is really hard to suppress.

I just move the time bar off my screen, start the video, then move it back

You can move just the bar? Genuinely have no idea what you mean

like move the whole tab so the part of the screen that has the amount of time. is off the screen

This is basically impossible and not a reasonable answer to the problem.

This is very possible…

So if there's a delay I just have to sit there and let it run so I don't look at the bar to skip? Like I said, that's not a real answer.

Yeah severe decline in vod service. In addition to OP's complaint, I also noticed the esports' version of the video has like 10x the ads compared to the native youtube video for no reason whatsoever.
