Riot, Death Recap is Embarrassingly Awful

Mandaari··141 votes·11,072 views

I got killed by revive on Sunday.

None of this "we know, we want to do something about it." Please just tell us when you're going to do it, and if you don't know please ask a PM who does. IIRC someone already made an awesome mock years ago that people liked a lot. Truthfully, anything is an improvement over what you have now.

Edit: Post your death recap failures.

Think that's bad? I got nuked by a Leblanc and their jungler, whoever it was, the other day while I was playing Azir. Know what killed me? 21% true damage. Know who dealt it? Azir.

I seem to get killed by Revive and heals on a daily basis, but doing 21% true damage to myself was new to me.

This also happens to me regularly >_>

I have had an assist on my own death, a fucking assist, HOW

This happened to me a few months ago. Got a screenshot at the time. I and my friends had a good laugh at it, but it really shouldn't have happened at all.

Something else... 2356 damage taken in 12.10 seconds, but of course the minion's 45 damage was more important than everything else that got me. :|

Am I the only one who first read the title as a complaint about item 3089 and was very confused reading the post?

Anyway, you are right -- this game feels like it's still in beta rather than the #1 eSport game in so many ways. Kind of frustrating.

Under killer it said "wukong" he did 1 true damage. He was on the other side of the map and wasn't granted an assist.

time to nerf wukong

Yeah, Death Recap has always been bad, especially when it decides the telling you how much minion damage you took is more important than telling you how much damage that Lee Sin did.

Forget any of the bugs like people are listing here.

I fucking hate dying in 3.5 seconds, looking at ym death recap, see 3 separate sources of damage, all for less than 100 damage.

WHERE IS THE OTHER 2000 DAMAGE THAT KILLED ME!?

totaly agree there. that's the most frustrating thing of the death report

the best ones for me were when i was playing renekton with randuins, ninja tabi and sunfire cape, i died in 3 seconds and death recap said that caster minions did 1680 damage to me, and the one where i was playing katarina, and in my death recap, katarina (myself) did 240 true damage with assault and battery (and there was no vi in this game at all)

I agree, building 2 item 3089s should be viable! I should be able to Death Recap if I want to!

A rioter went on record as saying that basically the death recap is so FUBAR that any improvements to it would have to be done when the code for it is made again from scratch. I consider it more of a comedy thing to help you get over the sadness of your death than anything else.

-Revive may be gone, but it's ghost is still killing people. -Getting hurt by champions that didn't get an assist for your death. -Getting hurt by champions that aren't in the match. -Getting hurt by yourself (When not playing champs that cast from HP). -True damage being reported as magic damage. -Physical or magic damage getting reported as true damage. -Reports of minion and tower damage when there wasn't any nearby.

One time I was playing as Vel'Koz support, and it said that item 3301 did 5 true damage to me after I got killed by a Jinx.

It's amazing how long it's been so pathetic. Things like this make the entire esport world look sad and pathetic.

MarkedOfKane7 votes

There was a teamfight in twisted treeline.

Annie did 20% damage to me.

A minion did about 4%

Another minion did 1%.

Hmm, I seemed to have died somehow though.

the day pros open up death report every time they die and let the world see how horrible it is riot will be all over it to fix it like white on rice

My favorite death recap most recently was when I had contributed 329 damage to myself (as a different champion). I think I was playing with an Azir or something like that, but it used the Azir icon, my summoner name, and said I had dealt 329 true damage to my death.

And I will never understand how you can do X damage (+extra damage) to someone with a set number for health.

Heals and shields and such?

Revive damage is sunfire cape. Ye, death recap is amazing, I get nuked and instead of telling me what LB did to me, it feels the need to inform me that a purple cast minion did 9 damage. Ty

Albireo5 votes

It's going to be awesome for new players that can't even take revive anymore or know what the icon represent.

DrCyanide5 votes

I snagged this one just before DFG went out.

"Purple Melee Minion" used Azir's ult, doing more damage than Azir did.

Tsugaga4 votes

It would be nice if death recap showed all sources of damage and the exact damage taken. Deaths recaps are almost useless, especially when you take like 3,000 damage and the recap total adds up to 250 damage.

Katarinas 1000 damage wasnt as important as those minions.

Bolwinkel3 votes

I look at death recap to see who is doing the most damage and what i need to build. I can't do that when i get killed by a summoner spell that isn't even in the game. Also it was a 3v2 bot lane. We lost but their adc did a total of 150 damage to me, their jungler did 200 and minions did 150. Their support was a teemo who was also focusing me but didn't even show up on the death recap.

I mean, the game as a whole is embarrassingly buggy if you look closely enough (granted, it's intermittent but that doesn't mean it's okay). Can we expand the OP sentiment to bugfixing overall?

Zone of Endless3 votes

They'll fix death recap when they release a replay system

They'll release the replay system once Half-Life 3 is confirmed.

Zanitar2 votes

Which will be prompty after the new Kingdom Hearts and Fallout games are released.

Cakelynn3 votes

Revive does damage a lot apparently, despite not even being in the game, and also Heim's H-28G Evjahrtiaon turrets can damage you using BlasveliAgtGake and Zephyr Heimerdinger

Great Job

Qsario3 votes

I have died to revive multiple times. Also, the odin's shield relic does tons of damage.

This is Riot we're talking about. It might be fixed halfway through season 6. But probably not.

Jack Off My Box2 votes

Earlier today I managed to kill myself with true damage that showed up as magic damage, but apparently that and the 21 damage from a caster minion is more important than the vladimir that took 75% of my health.

BLU Medic2 votes

I used to read the Death Recap when I was new, hoping it'd tell me what had killed me, so I knew what to do and buy.

I'm still unsure how you build against being killed by things like teleport and non-Karthus enemies from across the map.

the other day I got killed by myself.... I didn't AA or anything I got insta killed by the enemy team. I didnt mind though I wish I got an assist I only needed like 100 gold for my item.

I don't know what you guys are going on about. What map has it happened on? If it's not Summoner's Rift, that might explain it somehow.

DrCyanide1 votes

Happens on every map, every mode, every game, every day. It's so bad not many people open the death recap, which is why it isn't complained about even more.

I open it up every once in a while. It's not like the feature is very useful, most of the time I know all the stuff that killed me. Every time I open it up I don't get these bugs, the only thing I get is insufficient information like everyone else. Maybe one in ten times I check the information I get something I wanted to know about.

DrCyanide1 votes

I only open mine once in a while too, but I see stuff like this one fairly frequently. Take the screenshot for example. The patch before DFG was removed I saw this, where minions used Azir's ult. I've seen stuff like this before and since, and that's only with me occasionally looking at the recap. I'm pretty sure opening the recap every time you died you'd see stuff like this multiple times a game.

Hint: To ensure you see it, die to someone using the Sunfire Cape.

I petition that minions and monsters get the kill if they last hit you. It's not fair to the minions.

Plus it's funny dying to that last ~50 damage from a caster minion. LOL

Just leaving out turrets, I see.

Why when Kalista and her soul bound hit someone, it coopstrikeproc (or whatever it says) in the damage recap?

fredblaze011 votes

tower or should i say vi true damage? idk weird AF

Big Bang Bob1 votes

This is especially bad for tanks because when I die I can't tell what to build in defence. By the way adding how many time an attack was used would also be nice.

SgtCrispy1 votes

Half the time the death recap doesn't even add up to 100%. I'll just get killed by a 20% auto attack.
