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.

Patch notes8 August 2026

Added

Nearsight is read per player as a window with a start and an end. Reyna’s Leer, Omen’s Paranoia and Skye’s Seekers were all listed as untracked three days ago and all three now count.
Gekko’s Dizzy counts as a blind, which it is by Riot’s own text. It never reached the channel the other flashes ride, so a lobby with a Gekko in it used to under-report blinds.
Crossing a smoke counts as its own nearsight, separately from any ability, so it can never be mistaken for somebody’s utility.
Blinds name the player who caused them, read from the replay rather than matched to whoever threw one nearby.
Assists come from the kill record’s own list on the killing hit, covering smoke, flash and nearsight assists.
Nearsights count the kills their denial bought.
The spike names its planter and its defuser.
Trapwires count their own catches.
Kit tables for Harbor, Sage, Miks, Gekko and Viper, each counting the windows, blocks and assists its own abilities grant.
Thrown projectiles carry their flight, so an explosion flashes where it landed instead of where it was thrown from. Each piece of Raze’s cluster flashes at its own impact.

A column showing 0 means the value was read and it was zero. A dash means it is not read yet. Those are different facts and the tables no longer collapse them into one.
An agent with a measured kit renders that kit and nothing else, instead of a generic row set with blanks in it.
A round that ran out the clock is recorded as a defender win.
The utility table pairs its columns as damage then kills, with the ult pair ahead of the utility pair.

The spike’s planter is the carrier the replay last announced, not the nearest attacker, which was wrong whenever somebody walked past the site mid-plant.
A revived player comes back to the map instead of staying dead on it.
Where the replay states a blind’s causer, that settles it, and players who merely threw at the same moment collect nothing.
Where it states nothing, the fallback now needs flight time and real repetition before it will call a flash at all.
Brimstone’s smokes keep their own life rather than the manager’s.
A barrier ends where its geometry ends.
A wire’s thread is drawn once, however many ways the trace states it.
The utility board fetches rounds stripped of their frames, and the board’s portraits load only once they are near the viewport.
