New Death Recap: I think not

As someone who frequents the death screen quite often, I say we revert the death recap back just so it is easier for my pea brain to understand. Although I am a large fan of the truth behind my own jungler getting an assist on my death more than half the time.

(serious note tho I prefer being able to see individual damage breakdowns instead of just abilities vs items and whatnot to easier stack defenses)

The new death recap is too complex, you almost forget about the game trying to figure it out. I hated the moment I laid eyes on it.

The new one looks hideous and confusing. It's like a terrible WoW UI made entirely with the worst addons.

I think the bigger problem about it is how shit it is at telling you who did what in contributing to your death. Ally champions killing you, multiple icons of one contributer to the kill, ally with an enemys passive, etc.

It may need some tweaks, but it doesn't matter what ability did damage to you. What you need to know for defense is what kind of damage was dealt. You should be able to tell from the champion and their build whether you need something like Adaptive Helm or Randuin's.

The thing is, most of the time it doesn't say the right kind of damage, it'll be magic damage instead of physical damage, so you wouldn't know if the veigar is the one to counter build or the jhin. the only thing right is the numbers, in which its still inaccurate because it'll mix up the damage into one "random champion" making it hard to understand furthermore, and a measly 46 separate from the rest of the stats alone. Its literally Inaccurate in every way

It's interesting to see my ALLY Akali have enemy Twitchs passive in death recap.

I think it will just take some getting used to. It definitely permanently blinded me and scarred me for life the first time I saw it, but I think in the long run it will prove to be more useful.

Basically, it includes the 1 thing that is most important - the damage type breakdown.
