Can we please get a "damage dealt to towers" stat

I love analyzing the statistics from my matches. I've literally tracked my statistics for over 2,000 games (no joke, its all in an excel spreadsheet.) However, after all my analysis I realized that there is a key statistic I am missing: damage dealt to towers. This statistic is absolutely essential to understand why you win or lose, especially in lower elo. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people complain that they have the highest damage to champions and the highest CS and the highest KDA but they can't climb. And 99 times out of 100 when I review one of those player's replays I find they can't climb because they don't push objectives, they don't try to take towers and they don't do anything with the lead they gain. Kills don't win games. Damage to champions doesn't win games. Destroying towers wins games and yet the only stat we have is the useless "towers destroyed" metric which just tells you how good people are at last hitting towers, not who actually contributed the most to getting the tower (and that stat is only visible in the post match lobby, it isn't visible from your match history.)

I also can't tell you how many times I've had teams flame our top laner (and occasionally jungle and mid) for split pushing when they are creating massive amounts of map pressure and dealing tons of damage to towers. Then in the post match screen these flamers will point to how our split pusher has really low damage to champions and concludes that is the reason why we lost. Its absolutely infuriating because I don't have the statistical data to show how useful those split pushers are.

I know you have this information Riot. Please add it to the statistics in our Match History. Not having access to this statistic just perpetuates the incorrect notion that kills and damage dealt is how you win games.
