No it's not, it's perfectly normal for Flash to deal 1082 true damage and then get finished off by a Syndra's Playful/Trickster for -693 physical damage, right?

I always find it annoying when its like, Darius ult did 12 physical damage to you and thats all thats in the death recap.

Usually i just get invisible damages or abnormal numeral amounts of damages. Not something that extreme..

ElikainSep 4, 20161 votes

Because it's not that extreme.

Welcome to League! Be sure to build your thornmails on Ashe to protect yourself against Teemo's Piltover Peacemakers that keep finishing you off.

Current legacy client is a nightmare to add stuff too. Add on that the people who would be working on it are working on the new client.

Pretty certain that's like the top priority once the new client is fully released

escapeSep 3, 20161 votes

Did riot give any information as to when the client update will be live 0_0

ModWulf HelhammerSep 3, 20161 votes

I believe they said open beta would be the end of this year.!(don't quote me on that)

Duke AnaxSep 3, 20163 votes

Well that's only the lobby client, have they even started on a new game client?

DarkRitualSep 4, 20161 votes

Nope, all of their coders are currently on the main client update. At least as far as anyone not in Riot knows anyhow.

Vistha KaiSep 4, 20162 votes

No, they are working on the lobby client, not the in-game client.

Stuff like main page, shop, profiles, ladders etc. That's currently in the working.

Death recap isn't a part of it. The lobby and the in-game client are nearly completely separate entities.

DarkRitualSep 4, 20161 votes

That's what I had meant. You had just worded it much more clearly.

Praetor NotoriasSep 4, 20161 votes

I've seen alpha testing things on it, so I bet it will come out soon.

DrCyanideSep 4, 20162 votes

... The Death Recap has absolutely nothing to do with the client. The new client won't fix any of it.

ModWulf HelhammerSep 4, 20161 votes

Except, you know, everything has to be added through the client, as that's what makes the game run.

And no, the new client won't fix the current DR, but it allows them to more easily add in an actual working version later down the line

DrCyanideSep 4, 20162 votes

The League Client and the Game are two completely separate .exe files, both maintained by the Patcher. So no, it's not added through the client.

Vistha KaiSep 4, 20162 votes

Except you don't know.

Listen to DrCyanide, because he's saying how it is.

The League Client is used to login, buy champions, runes, organize parties and shit like that. It is an entirely different thing than the Game Client used to play the actual game.

It's so different in fact, that the former is closing when you get into the game.

The latter isn't in the working yet.

ModWulf HelhammerSep 4, 20161 votes

No, the game client doesn't close down when you start a game (click the Riot fist logo on the extended task bar, like where the volume thing is, and it opens back up again). The game actually stops working if you close out of that client.

And I'm sorry, but I'm going to trust the Rioters who are actually working on the client, rather then just some guy on the boards.

Vistha KaiSep 4, 20162 votes

If you really trust Rioters then go back and read what they actually wrote.

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR ESPORTS GAME! Can't even get an elementary function of the game to operate properly.

LeetriSep 4, 20161 votes

An independent, old game designed by modders. With how much spaghetti the game is based on they might have to completely rewrite the entire game code to fix death recap, but of course we can't know for sure.

AnidanSep 4, 20161 votes

At least if they did that then everything wouldn't have to be minions.

ShadowParkerSep 3, 20165 votes

They've tried to fix it a few times in the past. And while that helped, it's still bad.

Honestly, I want them to just redo it from the ground up.

When someone Xerath kills you and you Xerath "assisted" with a sole 300+ true damabe from a basic attack or a username.

VeltoxSep 3, 20162 votes

Wait for the new client probably the current death recap is so messy if they even try to modify it will break something else.

DarkRitualSep 4, 20164 votes

Actually, when you get into a game, it's completely independant from either client right now. The in-game client needs a complete makeover too. Death Recap and Spectator mode are hugely behind where they should be. Huge Tech Debt.

Back in my day you could only DREAM to be able to smite Teemos! You kids and your newfangled ice smites and your red smites and your rocket-belt tomfoolery.

TysminSep 5, 20161 votes

i'm not talking about killing someone with smite i mean somebody killing smite

12a12b12dSep 8, 20161 votes

No, i mean the deathrecap window just include a 23 damage from fervor of battle.

TysminSep 8, 20161 votes

i understand what you meant but fervor of battle does extra damage so that is probably why it showed up

12a12b12dSep 8, 20161 votes

But when it shows only it? like on the deathrecap window there is nothing but it.

ElikainSep 4, 20162 votes

They've already said that they intend to fix it but that it's not a top priority. New client comes first. And i believe they've did some cleaning work on death recap and it's a problem on occasion because there are a lot of ability scripts do their calculations on the fly and the death recap pulling those numbers gets complicated and sometimes, not accurate at all.

devdev463Sep 4, 20161 votes

The thing I don't understand about this issue is that programming a process that keeps track of spells that damaged you seems like a rather straight forward process. I would be interested to learn more about why they have such issues with it. I'm guessing spaghetti code is getting in its way some how.

KirynDawnSep 4, 20161 votes

a game like league with hundreds of threads and instances (in programming) its hard to go back 4 seconds let alone 20 seconds to track what threads interacted with each other to get where you are now

(its easy for ekko because his location is only contained in his own thread and only impacts people visually)

Vistha KaiSep 4, 20161 votes

They did fix it. Last Season, if I recall.

Buuuut it worked correctly only until the next patch or so, when they changed it to prioritize 3 highest damage sources at which point it went to shit again.

I took 1200 magic damage from a Jinx auto. I also took (unknown) physical damage from an unknown source with the same skill icon as an auto attack. I also took 131242 true damage from an empty box.
