Let's Start Tracking Damage Shields

Esobe·Mar 19, 2015·23 votes·1,279 views

Dear Rito and Community at-large,

I feel there is a gaping hole in end-game stats when it comes to damage mitigated by shields. As a Lulu Support main, or as I'm sure many Janna, Karma, Thresh, Lux, Morgana (did I miss anyone?) can also attest, a HUGE portion of their impact on the game is completely ignored. While it is true that playing well has it's own merits, having something to point at and say, "Yeah, I did that." is nice too.

We can calculate the amount the shield absorbs, we can track whether enough damage is dealt to break it. Can we track how much damage is mitigated if it doesn't break? I'm no programmer, but w/ the amount of detailed stats that are kept track of, it would seem possible to tack this one onto the list.

I for one, would be pleased to see this added to end-game stats.

Thank you,

A devoted Lulu Supporter

This would be awesome because supports, especially Lulu's, usually get the whole 'wtf, you were useless the entire game' 'No, I bubbled you and everything.' I'd like it to be tracked as 'Damage Mitigated', as you stated, that way people can't use their bubbles as soon as it's off CD for 'stats'. >>

I would love this to happen, as a Karma supporter.

I would like this. Every time I play Janna then in the results screen it looks like I did the least on my team. How much did I really do? Well, sadly, you can't tell.

I would love to see that.

Would also like to see effective damage taken, so that resistance stacking tanks can weigh up what they've achieved.

Sion shield has a nice little counter telling you how much strength the shield has. would be nice for other shields

much love for this idea, was actually just wishing for it yesterday. We were also joking around about timing how long a champ was in stasis should be tracked also with the new addition of bard

Well, Riot, anyone interested or able to weigh in on this one? Would love to hear some insight on whether this is possible, difficult, or viewed as unnecessary. Thanks in advance. :)
