For those that haven't seen any of the conversation about the update, here are our core goals:

Help players quickly answer important questions about their death with an improved layout and visualization “What type of damage killed me?” “Which champs are the most threatening?” “Which spell do I really need to watch out for?”
Deliver reliable and accurate information about the damage sources and amounts

We're really excited to get this much needed improvement into the game (finally). Please leave us whatever feedback or bugs that you find in this thread.

CC length should be split into perhaps ones that stun your movement completely and things like slows. Since those are the two main forms of CC someone would consider dealing with. (For example, if a majority of the CC is actually slows, people may consider Boots of Swiftness.)

Any chance there will be something indicating what actually killed you? Like, ''Lethal blow dealt by: Yasuo Q'' or something.

Riot reinboom talked in a reddit thread once and outlined the problems that came with updating death recap.

Basically the old death recap needed continued maintenance to be accurate. Will the new death recap need that as well or will it stay updated and accurate on its own so we don’t have flash dealing 2000 true damage?

Can you make It bigger, like the store? And can you move it on the screen?

Personally, It looks awesome ^^

Will tower and minion damage still be shown?
It should be easy to see what the killing blow was, i.e. the final instance of damage that killed you. It'd really help in those cases where you flash out of a fight and then randomly fall over dead and you're not sure if it was a DoT, a minion attack, or an ability you didn't see coming.

It looks dope! We'll done

Just from those images I can say that there seems to be a lot of redundant info. You get damage distribution in 3 places: once as numbers, once as percentages, once as a pie chart. I think at least one of those can be cut, probably the percentages.

I know it's hard to implement, and probably a bigger feature, but it would be very nice, if you could get a replay of the last 10 seconds before you died, in order to quickly evaluate your mistakes, while waiting for the respawn timer anyway.

What is the amulett and the question mark in yasuo's damage recap? Are those items and runes or is there something missing?

Will self-inflicted damage such as health costs be listed? Ex. Ivern passive, Olaf E, and Soraka W?

@Riot, Will there be a menu option to always start expanded?

Unreal Ed7/2/2019, 2:12:53 PM2 votes

Will it tell us how many times we were hit by an ability (probably if we mouse over it)?

RG Suzume7/1/2019, 7:06:44 PM2 votes

Is it ok if i int to test the death recap? :D

Kiraid Lciem7/2/2019, 1:11:00 PM1 votes

@Riot: Please let me reopen death recap after I respawn! (Its own hotkey and UI button.)

How come riot can release a new feature of something which has always been bugged as heck, even more bugged I mean in my death recaps I see magic damage from my ally warwick, using tiger stance (udyr also in my team), and that not only once in the game... Is it a 15 yo trainee who uploaded his programming test on prod servers or does riot actually not test their updates????? Was it that glitched in pbe as well?

So the rectangle in the first picture is gonna be on our screen 24/7 as long as we are dead? It is obstructing a large portion of the screen. Can we get the option to not have it on 24/7 and instead have the previous tiny rectangle that says "click for death recap" which immediately jumps us to the second picture without having to see the condensed rectangle shown in the first picture?

Would love to see damage from some of the runes like Scorch, Comet etc... Sometimes you die when you are nowhere close to an enemy champ, and its just hard to know why

When are you going to fix the yasuo windwall bug, and its way often league disconnects when my internet is working fine in other apps, like im talking to my friends on discord but im disconnected in league, fix that please, and btw fix yasuo's W.

at least give us an option to disable the dam thing. i think it horrendous.

Do we have an ETA on patch 9.14 on main servers?

Itd be really nice if we could see the cooldown of abilities in the death recap or just straight up see the exact text the person casting them sees

Can I turn this garbage off? It's annoying....you can sprinkle in expletives to add how I really feel about it.
