Issues with Death Recap

So, I have some serious issues with the current iteration of the death recap system. Random bugs with sources aside, the recap is NOT a good representation of what happened in a fight to the point I question the validity of even playing this game sometimes because of perceived bugs causing instadeath.

Case in point = I was playing a game as Olaf earlier, I had 4500 health, full build, 150~ in both Armor and MR. Decently tanky, not absurdly but decently. 3 seconds dead in any teamfight. Just blowup, no matter what, no chance to react. I tried using death recap to see what was happening to me...

And I was greated with 2500 damage dealt in 3 seconds, and sources were all over the place with the numbers and it was impossible to tell what killed me. I bought a Iron Flask, and went up to 4800 health, so 300 more than I was, next death recap showed 2800 damage in 3 second, the EXACT amount more that I gained. Now, clearly it's just an issue with death recap only showing partial information, I was killed in around 3 seconds from 100% health, and there's no gaps, but come on. The amount goes up the EXACT amount that I gained, and I'm left there missing 2k damage? What am I supposed to think over that, perhaps there's a problem and I'm losing 2k health instantly from some bug like the old fiddle instakill bounces bug or something?

Pretty much the current death recap just is insufficient/not a good representation of what happened to a player and it's been a REALLY long time since it was proposed that we would see a better death recap. I see streamers pointing out getting just blown up and death recap showing something absurd like dragon hitting them with a lightning proc or something, or a minion dealing redbuff damage. Isn't about time we had an update to death recap?

death recap is fine, being killed by raptor camps blade of the ruin king while you are in bot lane is totaly fine. or barons mystic shot. or infernal dragons static shiv.
