Are you guys going to DIVE into career stats of players?

I've seen this suggestion a few times, and as much as I like it I feel like they're gonna skim past it a ton this season and worry about it more next year. It's hard to talk about career numbers when the gameplay format only really solifiefed this past season or two. For example, in baseball they often talk about fastest player to reach x home runs or RBI. In LoL the issue with doing a similar thing is until last year in NA and this season in EU there wasn't a BO3 match. That lends an advenatage to newer players for those sorts of records. Because of that, my personal feeling is they'll mention major milestones as they come up, but not much else in the way of stats. They just don't mean a lot with how variable the season lengths have been thus far.

All that being said, I also love stats of the long term counting variety. Get on that shit Riot!

I love stats and stats in sports most times makes players who they are, NBA Dirk reached 30,000 Points and we heard and saw who he passed to get 30K PTS and their points/gms played to reach such milestones.

Riot lets us know about major milestones but it's either the day off, or they talk about 1 player reaching 500 Kills 1 split and 5-10 other players reach the 500 kill mark and no mention of them it's random.

I'v been asking Riot to have a leaderboard with such stats for 4 years now. I've sent letters, e-mails, I'v posted numerous board articles asking them why and have gotten 0 responses, answers or reasons why they haven't or won't do so.
To the point where I did up my very own and sorry for it being hard to read as well as it's not including this years stats as I DID do an up2date player stats but around week 5 or so I got tired because the votes wasn't there, time, and honestly why should I care as much anymore for a company that doesn't take the time to do it themselves, I was pretty much doing their job for them.

^^^^^^ Like I said these stats DO NOT include this season stats so 2017 Spring split stats are not included.

I factored in Tie-Breakers so for example 2015 NA spring and Summer splits had tie-breaker games and I included those games something that Riot DOESN'T do, so hence D-Lift have 1K + his kills instead of just a clean 1K in kills.

I also include EU and NA years combined, something RIot DOESN'T DO For example I combined Bjergsen's EU years and his NA years
