I'm sure everyone would agree with me on this. Death Recap is practically useless in the state its at right now, with it not showing enough information, having boxes that are empty that display damage, then only say that the damage was from (the players name). I've been playing league since around season 3 or 4, so I think it's time they finally update it.
LightIsMyPath5 votesDon't you love getting killed by heal and flash? Even barrier assassinated me once. And how to forget the allied kata deadly shunpo and allied nida pounce
Spice POWAH9 votesThere was one guy who got food poisoning from a honeyfruit and died.
LightIsMyPath2 votesAhahah maybe there was a sneaky teemo shroom under the fruit xD
TheMoralSupport1 votesPersonally i prefer taking 700dmg from a caster minion in 0.8 sec. My best one was probably when Vlad q killed me, there wasn't a Vlad in the game...
Elikain4 votesI don't think Riot will update it now as the work for the next season may have already started (runes reforged). Riot is changing a fundamental system that has always existed in League and this takes time and effort to do properly. They certainly can't and won't start these big projects in parallel as then they would be competing for resources. Not to mention that a certain team of people at Riot is also ironing out some FPS issues and that's also a pain in the ass to track and fix as nothing's clear but likely cuplrits may have been found.
PeponiPoro1 votesWell informed, sir.
M Dragon141 votesMore likely they don't see the money in it. Its hard-coded in such a way they would have to spend so many resources to fix it. Why they don't just turn it off and re-create it is beyond me. They have all the stats tracked in game. Would be pretty easy.
Elikain1 votesActually, Riot did answer this question a year or so ago. The problem with this death recap is that it existed way before Riot started implementing new systems and new champions who have scripted skills that calculate their damage numbers off various different triggers that happen in game. Which means that death recap itself can't pull these numbers accurately as there are no methods to do so, so Riot has to code it manually. But even this has limits and can't be done properly as everything then has to be patched over the existing code, resulting in spaghetti that tends to break even at the slightest disturbance. If you just pile and pile new code on top of the old, faulty one, the foundation can't simply work properly and with every new addition, Riot literally risks destroying the entire delicate system. And when it's broken, it has to be fixed immediately.
Riot did some cleanup work at that time and they improved accuracy quite a bit but it still isn't up to the standards they'd like it to be. At that time, Death Recap wasn't on their priority list and they wanted to fix it. As of now, i think they have other projects so i don't think they would be talking about it at least till preseason is over.
buPPDrmXEO3 votesRiot needs to nerf all other AP items. Deathcap is fine as it is, other items are just broken.

Oriyoki1 votesbsh please, it never worked, aint fixing that!
Blakiepug1 votesThe other day death recap told me I was killed by the Challenging Smite of an Elder Dragon even though I was no where near the dragon pit and Elder Dragon didn't spawn yet. I had a picture, but I unfortunately deleted it because I figured complaining about death recap wouldn't actually bring about a change.
Synnx71 votesThey can't. Too incompetent even for this feature that has been broken since day 1 of this game. But hey, still "popular" moba for w/e reason
Awaiting a Riot joke on comments below like " i got killed from honey fruit" Thats all they care about. memes&games and their shitty LC$
Starcraft243ver1 votesIt's way better than before.
