I feel like a real problem is that nobody actually knows how accurate league stats are

I’m going to be honest, I really don’t trust any “stat” source that isn’t either:

Directly from the main source (Riot)

Or endorsed directly by the main source.

Furthermore, just from what I’ve observed you see some pretty significant differences between different sites. This alone tells you that these sites either collect and analyze them differently, have different levels of access to stats, have different algorithms for collecting them, or are just outright wrong. No matter how you slice it, that’s a pretty big deal.

My real question is this:

How come you just don’t make stats public yourself riot? There probably are some pretty good sites out there that are pretty close, and that’s all well and good. However, I think I’d want people to have an accurate measurement of what exactly is happening and avoid people referencing some junky site that is horribly put together because the site supports their dogmatic beliefs. And I point this out because it’s not uncommon for people to literally argue in a thread about who’s stats are more correct. That’s a red flag right there.

Seems the reasonable thing to do would just be to spread accurate information as opposed to misinformation.
