Riot needs a way for players to view the NET changes of ANY champion/item from ANY patch

A post about this was made a while back but I think it deserves more attention.

There should be a panel somewhere in the client where you can click on a champion/monster/item and select a patch and be able to see the net changes from that patch until the current one.

So let's say I click on Leblanc and select patch 6.10. I would then see the champion's abilities and passive exactly like in game and be able to hover over them and see their description and damage ratios. If in the current patch the Q ability has increased by 10 magic damage after combining all the changes together, it will be highlighted green and show a differential of "+10" when I hover over it. If her W ability has decreased by 35 since 6.10 then it will be highlighted red and show "-35" when I hover over it.

And if you want to get fancy you could also have the descriptions themselves run through a diff program to show the exact changes that the descriptions have undergone between any 2 patches. This will cover the less quantifiable changes that occur when a champion's abilities and passives change in a fundamental way other than simple number tweaks (like when a rework happens).

This would be so valuable for competitive players. Or when you just take a break for a patch or 2 and want to see what happened to your favorite champions since you last played. I understand this would require a good bit of work to put together but with a game like League that seems to have no intention of becoming any less complicated, I think it's a must-have moving forward.

Well, if you want to review Leblanc 's history for example:

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/LeBlanc

Click on 'History' tab. It's not exactly as you describe, but somehow around there ...and not in client.

The problem with that is there's no way to compare the net difference between 2 patches other than by manually scrolling to the patch and adding the numbers yourself. That's too inconvenient to be practical for the rate new patches are released and the number of changes that happen among the hundreds of champions and items in the game. The desire for this functionality, at least for me, is not to obtain this information in the first place (you clearly point out the information is out there) but instead to make it practical and convenient for players. When something is made easy, people will use it much more, and unfortunately the site you linked to doesn't make it nearly easy enough IMO.

I mean if you touch base with whomever works in the wiki I'm sure you could get a program going that takes all that information and does what you want. It wouldn't be too complicated to upkeep once it's done.

If I was going to make this I would just go through the API like the wiki does. I'm not getting paid by Riot though so I'm not going to lol.

Funny that Tencent's MOBILE moba game has this tool in its client.

I also find very funny that newer games manage to keep what the older made right and improve on it in some ways.

The only alternative I can find to this is that one game studio thinks of everything, does everything right thus no one manages to improve on their works. Which is pretty unlikely to happen.

Agreed this is good

I was really happy with the recent update where i can compare my champions stats with other players of that champion Apparently my Sion playstyle is quite different then many other Sion players

Something like this would be really nice to add on to that

id just be happy seeing the current detailed stats and stats per lvl in the game client itself like auto attack range, attack speed, base health/health per lvl stuff like that. it doesnt have to be in champ select but id like to see it in my profile.

Edit: and yes i know theres a way to view this in game, but it doesnt give you the exact information to your face. Like atk spd per lvl. it doesnt show the exact percentage
