I Dont Really Use Forums, But Was Wondering Why There Isn't a Fully Fledged Detailed Death-Cap Yet?

Hyberblue·May 24, 2019·5 votes·4,211 views

As someone that likes to look at what went wrong in teamfights I try to analyze the deathcap and its always so misleading and inaccurate that i cannot quite gauge for why this is...Is this something the company is having trouble making due to issues in code or whatnot or are they not trying to improve it whatsoever?

Like for example, I would have 3k hp as malphite and my deathcap shows that they've done 1.7k dmg to me in 4.45secs. Where did my other 1.3k hp go? I'm honestly baffled of the current state of the death recap system and was wondering why this is the way it is.

Not the mention the fact that its unhelpful because numbers just seem to be skewed for daamge done like sometimes it shows ive taken 5k dmg in .5secs when i only have 2k hp and died over a few seconds at least.

Riot is lazy and/or incompetent.

Not worth spending dev time on.

Got one shot by a zed? Don’t forget that the Janna who isn’t in the game damaged you too.

Also dont forget the rakan passive that did 17 mixed damage, and that empty box that just has someone’s summoner name on it when you hover it and nothing else.

Based on what I've heard from game devs, the entire process of game development is about balancing priorities. It's incredibly rare to have a perfect product, so devs are constantly trying to spend their time on only the most important features and updates.

Personally, I would love to see an updated death recap. It's one of the few unpolished features left in the game. Posts like this are one option for increasing visibility and trying to make that happen, but it doesn't seem like it's high on their list for now.

Odd that they claim balance is their top priority because they are pretty bad at that as well, every single other moba has a working death recap and this is one of the most successful the fact that they couldn't so much as assign a contractor to it some time in the last 10 years to work on it is a testament to how little they care about anything that doesnt effect the bottom line
