Death Recaps
Can we fix the Death Recaps? I don't give a shit about the Minion damage I took 0.2 seconds before death when there's 2 other champions beating the shit out of me for a thousand times the damage. It's stupid and frustrating. Let me put it in context.
I'm Kass in Aram. I go in, I get rekt as you do in Aram. I had ~2200 health. Death Recap says I took 2190 damage in 1.5, matches up, all's good there. Says Tristana killed me with Basic Attack and Statikk Shiv for roughly 30% damage, alright I believe it. Here's where it gets shitty. I know for a fact that Jinx was also shooting me, and Critted Twice for at least half my health in damage, but I can't see that ANYWHERE on the Death Recap. Instead, I get "Melee Minion 17 for 1%" and "Caster Minion 15 for 1%"... Where the fuck is the missing 68% damage I took? How do I figure out exactly how I died? I can't, that's the Problem. I just have to take a shot in the dark and use the power of believing that Jinx did all that damage. I want to understand how I died, so I can plan my next engagement better, but I have no way to do that, because the tool meant to provide that information is broken and useless.
Riot, don't provide us with broken tools and expect us to make good with them. Broken tools just hurt the user. The Death Recaps just leave me Confused, Frustrated and feeling Powerless to react. Besides, I feel like the fix is painfully simple. Either expand the Death Recaps so that we can get ALL the information, or just list the damage by order of Importance. I know Minion Damage can matter immensely in a trade, and it's important to keep it, because it is valuable information, but it is senseless to list in as more important than champion damage, especially if it's a lesser impact to your health.
In the end, this isn't a hate message, it's a love letter. I love this game, I spent so many hours into it, but it's not perfect. I want to better it, I want to make it right, to eliminate the frustration as much as I can. The problem is, when something is mechanically broken, there is nothing I can do on my part except express the issue, and hope that it gets addressed. I trust Riot can understand the issue and remedy to it.
