The traffic consumed by the SOD lobby is negligible; it shouldn't affect the stream at all. I personally verified this. A stream running at 720p can easily handle 10 people in the lobby without packet loss, as long as it's not pushed to its absolute limit. I don't see any reason to play without the SOD lobby. I agree about Diamond on HotA and 6LM on SOD.
