By this point, the Death Recap's bogus info, constant mistakes, and lack of non-damage inputs (i.e. if someone Exhausted you) makes it an eyesore, not a helpful source of information. Yet Riot won't even entertain the notion of updating it.
Why?
It's a thorny question, and depends what you mean by updating it.
If you mean the multitude of bugs, then that's going to take a lot of time, and might not be worth the effort. Rather, we need to go back and re-assess what the value of a good death recap is. We don't want to go the combat log route; raw information is rarely actionable. Likewise, I'm not entirely clear on how the existing implementation is useful outside of letting you know how much magic or physical damage you took. We'll probably update it at some point in the future once we knock out some competing UI features, but if we do, expect more of a redesign.
I agree. It needs fixing (Sunfire Cape still comes up as Revive?) I love it, but it needs to be more informative, and fixed. (Still is useful when you find out Buster Shot does 859/1222 damage to me)
I suggest a short replay after every death with slo-mo effect when you're about to die, that could really solve a lot of misunderstandings; also you press any key if u wish to end replay
What I'd like would be a sort of bar chart. Say, you're killed by a Vayne, and a Janna gets an assist. The "Killer/Assist" bar at the top with the champion name and icon would be the same, but there would be three vertical bars, one each for true, physical and magic damage received from said champion. The bars would be divided by ability. So, Vayne's "true damage" bar would just show "basic attack" (or, even better "Silver Bolts"), and her "physical damage" bar would show, say, "basic attack", "Tumble", "Condemn" and "Blade of the Ruined King". For any skills that applied CC, it'd say that you received CC - eg. "Condemn - X damage. Stun." "Howling Gale - Y damage. Knocked airborne." and "Zephyr - Z damage. 28% slow."
It is odd when Garen uses Mystic shot on you for 800 true damage...
To the people complaining in this thread about the fix not being immediate, please try to remember a few things. First: things take time, getting grouchy over it isn't going to make it move any faster, and even though Riot promises an upcoming fix that fix may take a long time to make it functional with the rest of the game. Second: Manpower is limited. Yes Riot is popular but that doesn't mean that they have an infinite amount of programmers and game-designers to fix every problem all at once. For those not following me that means that there may not be people to immediately work on a fix. In short be patient and let Riot do their thing, because if they say it isn't happening I doubt pouting over it is going to do any good
