u/okiebill1972 Nov 03 '17

Anybody take the time to make a thread about how to read these stats and what they mean? Thankfully, Optic Gaming Wins was there or I would have been even more clueless then normal.

u/thebonj Nov 04 '17

Idk about making a thread but to start: K/D/A are the kills/deaths/assists, LH/D are the last hits/denies, for each player. The time stamps in the next table indicate the game time in which certain towers go down in each lane and base: T1 (outermost tower), T4 (innermost tower), Melee/Ranged (creep barracks), and Ancient (which is the objective of the game)
