Patch notes and changelog
Patch notes for valab, newest first. Each entry lists what was added, changed and fixed, and states the known limits of the work alongside it rather than only the parts that went well.
Smurfs read as the player
Link the accounts somebody plays on and the Lab reads them as one player, with one row, one record and one name.
Round review, and a replay that fills the screen
Every match has a round review of all ten players that links each moment into the replay, trades count the way Riot counts them, and the replay can fill the window or the screen.
Patch 13.09 reads in full
Patch 13.09 replays upload and read in full, and the matches kept from its first days are being read now.
China client replays read, starting with 13.05
Replays from the China client on patch 13.05 upload and read in full, and its other patches are now recognised and kept.
Patch 13.05 reads in full
Patch 13.05 replays upload and read in full without waiting on a check of their own first.
Patch 13.08 reads in full
Patch 13.08 replays upload and read in full, and the matches kept from its first day now show in full too.
Thirteen older patches read in full
Replays from patches 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.11, 12.00, 12.01, 12.02, 12.03, 12.04, 12.05, 12.07, 12.08 and 12.09 upload and read in full, for the older matches still sitting in a Demos folder.
Patch 13.06 reads in full
Patch 13.06 replays upload and read in full, the Warden included, and 13.05 replays are accepted too.
Buys for the older matches
Matches processed before the buy log existed now count buys too, read off the credit ledger they still carry.
The buy log
Every gun bought is read off its own purchase record: who paid, who got it, and whether it went back. The gun table counts them.
Stating stats instead of deriving them
Stats that were worked out from positions and timing now read what the replay states; every match has been re-scored.
Patch 13.04 reads in full
Patch 13.04 replays upload and read, and 12.11 replays join the supported list.
The grade says where you stand
The headline number is now a standing among everyone measured rather than a raw average, the comparison group stops moving when you filter, and the pages that read the corpus got a great deal faster.
Every agent counts its own kit
Twenty more agents gained a kit table, so all twenty-nine now report their own abilities, and the upload estimate is priced from the file rather than guessed from its first three seconds.
Who did it, stated rather than guessed
Nearsight is read at last, blinds name their causer, assists come from the kill record, and the spike names who planted and defused it.
Sign in with Discord or Google
Accounts can be created and signed into with Discord or Google, and existing accounts can connect either provider from the account page.
Flashes and concusses read from the replay
Blind and concuss windows are read per player, with the duration the game stated and the moment the effect actually cleared.
The ground game, filtered by agent
Routes, heatmaps and held setups can all be scoped to a single agent, so a player’s Jett looks nothing like their Omen.
Every stat graded against real matches
Stats are shown as a percentile against every match on the site, with each estimate stating its own sampling precision.
Regular stacks, named and pinned
The people you queue with are grouped automatically, can be named, and read as a single record across every match they played together.
