Couple UX suggestions

Hey Twitch team,

I watch HoN streams very often on this site; they're pretty much all I watch.  Here are a couple things that I feel could be improved.

1- When I click on the chat window and I'm logged out, it gives me a nice popup to login or sign up.  This is amazing because it doesn't redirect you away from the stream.  However, this popup is made useless by the fact that after you login, the page refreshes anyways.  It would be much more convenient if the stream continued but you ajax refreshed the chat only.

2- When I type twitch.tv in my address bar, the homepage's top 5 games are always randomized (I think).  I would really appreciate it if HoN was at the top for me.  This is a slight mod to personalize homepages that I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate.  There's just something about clicking the "Browse games" text near the logo at the top that bothers me.  You can achieve this very easily by just classifying logged in user's most viewed channels by game, or even easier by classifying subscribed channels by game.

Hope these suggestions are taken into consideration,

Love,
