I have often bemoaned LoL’s lack of comprehensive statistics. As it currently stands, you can only get detailed stats on your top 3 champions and your last 10 games, and neither are really that comprehensive. You still don’t get to see your teammates’ performance, for instance, or a numerical value for your K/D spread beyond the actual spread. You can get yourself some of the stats with a calculator, but having it all in hand would be mighty nice.

I found a post on the forums two days ago about lolbase.net, a site dedicated to providing comprehensive stats for players based on the info buried in the log files for each game. Players upload their log files to the site, which then parses them and keeps track of individual stats for every player. It’s not perfect by any means – it can’t record games either you or someone else doesn’t upload – but it’s the best solution I’ve seen so far. It was also a bit surprising to log in and find myself with almost 80 recorded matches when I haven’t done a thing.

The more I look around the site the more I hope Riot just buys them. It would be so nice to have a robust, web-based stat system to browse outside the game’s often slow and clunky interface. Until then, I’m going to start uploading some log files to get myself a nice stat list going.
