Here's Riot Scruffy with details on the new Death Recap now testing on the PBE:
"The death recap update is coming to PBE today and shipping to live in 9.14!
For those that haven't seen any of the conversation about the update, here are our core goals:
  • Help players quickly answer important questions about their death with an improved layout and visualization
    • “What type of damage killed me?”
    • “Which champs are the most threatening?”
    • “Which spell do I really need to watch out for?”
  • Deliver reliable and accurate information about the damage sources and amounts
We're really excited to get this much needed improvement into the game (finally). Please leave us whatever feedback or bugs that you find in this thread. 
Scruffy"
