Microsoft were keen on the idea of their HoloLens including a League of Legends match viewer but due to an intellectual property issue they have rejected the pitch.
With the popularity and presence of League of Legends, if this HoloLens match viewer did go through, it could have given the product another draw.
"The HoloLens will show the entire match playing out in real time…the entire Rift would be at the viewer's disposal," the user that pitched the idea explained.
The idea received the most votes in a recent Share Your Idea program and Microsoft explain their decision to reject the proposition in a statement the company released today:
"We love this idea, the creativity, and the level of support it has received from League of Legends community. However, in order for Microsoft to open source the code to the community as promised, we cannot build a project which is based on existing intellectual property."
"For more information on how the finalists will be determined, or to discuss how finalists will be determined, please see our related editor’s note. Thanks for sharing your ideas and being part of the HoloLens community!"
