Has OPGG been incredibly slow for everybody else as well since Riot's Match History got taken down?

Previously, OPGG has been pretty reliable, if you refresh 30 seconds or a minute after a match ends, you could see it in your history. In NA at least, since the most recent patch, over an hour can pass and hitting refresh still won't show completed match data. Did something change in Riot's api or something when they took down match history to cause these delays, or am I the isolated case here?

New version of the match history in the Riot API. The transition has been a complete shitshow btw, might explain a few things.

Sounds like Riot alright.

With the addition of new games at riot and lots of internal talent transitioning to working on those other games the quality of league definitely seems to be declining. But I feel like we say this every season.

League features straight up feel like they've been put on life support, when was the last time we even got any new features ?

Blubkill:natsm::senna:•

what would you consider new features for league tho? its not like they can overhaul the moba genre.

we've had a bunch of new items last pre-season and will get similar significant changes in the upcomming pre-season and i would claim those are some pretty big features.

riots other games have been in development since like, 2014, i don't think that's actually been that big of a factor

they can afford more software people. Maintaining an api is not rocket science.

People do indeed say this every season.

Idk if it's because I took a nine month break at the start of this season or because it's actually a mess, but this season is one of the wonkiest I've seen since the early ones. The item rework seems to have been a complete flop since most characters build the same mythic in 90% of their games. Healing is once again out of control and it's not even on characters that are supposed to heal like enchanters and Mundo (rip Morello). Riot seems to just add counters to items and then a few patches later add another counter to that when it's too strong which is ridiculous. And as always ADC got shafted because crit got nerfed and crit ADC don't have enough choices to counter enemy teams, but games end before they have their necessary three item powerspike. Meanwhile, Yasuo and Yone are bonkers because they only need half as many crit items, mages are running rampant in bot lane, and everyone has a ton of burst so you explode in half a second.

90% of champs don't build the same mythic every game.

Adc and mages have strong choices. Mage ones are annoyingly expensive but they still swap between liandries, ludens and everfrost depending on the enemy comp.

Trinity, Sunderer and Goredrinker are all very strong and should be picked based on matchup.

It's basically only supports who build the same mythic and that's only locket supports.

when you create a new api your suppose to use versioning to avoid breaking existing functionality.

Yup took me 5 hours for a flex game to pop up and some don’t even show. League of graphs is still reliable I found though

BulletCola:drmundo: I heard you like Q's :sivir:•

Yeah even though it records from the last 2 days instead of present time, I feel like it’s information of data is a lot more consistent and even easier to understand for me.

Noticed the same earlier this week, ugg seems to still be pretty fast though.

U.gg seems a lot slower as well

exdigguser147:warwick:•

But, much faster than opgg for now.

Nope, for me it happened already before then. Clicking "update" was very slow and sometimes an error occurs even

"just use other sites for match history" btw

BitterMemories:hecarim: Im Car :udyr:•

At least from my experience on U.gg and op.gg, it seems that it only updates until your 2nd most recent game. There was a game I played the day before that never got updated/showed until I played another match. It seems as if your most recent game never shows.

shedinja292:thresh::gnar: https://clash.tips•

It’s highly likely Riot made an exception for op.gg since they’re so huge, but the limits you can request for new matches is by default half of what it used to be.

I’ve recently had some problems with op.gg even before the change though so it’s also possible it’s unrelated

u/RiotTuxedo, is this something Riot is aware of?

RiotTuxedo:Riot:•

I remember noticing some delay in updating player's list of matches, but I wasn't able to quantify that delay. Haven't heard anything from community developers on this issue apart from "this match is missing" and then later when I check for the match it's there.

If this is something players are noticing I can definitely bring it up to the team. We're mostly focused trying to ensure we transition as many third party projects over to new match history and that we can support their traffic. I'd say that's still our priority but my hunch is that is likely due to long cache times and cache evictions not working as expected.

TL;DR Had a feeling, wasn't sure how big or widespread this might be. If players are noticing it, I can definitely escalate it.

PaulGoesReddit:eufnc:•

idk, since the match history in the client is borderline unusable, and opgg needs like 10min to update my profile i literally dont have a way of looking at my matches played at the moment. it probably is time to "escalate"...

2
_georgesim_:eug2:•

Thank you. I think this whole thread is about the new API being slow and people noticing through op.gg. Also, it varies throughout the day. Right now it’s pretty fast for example, but earlier it was taking ~2 hours to update.

NunexTK:kindred:•

What if you had an official match history website? That way you could fix stuff yourself and design it according to your criteria

I was thinking this yesterday while trying to reload my page and my last game wouldn't show up even 45 minutes after it ended.

At least its not just me.

The main sites I used (opgg ugg) were omega slow so I just used Porofessor for match history

Op.gg is super slow, but didn’t notice any change on Blitz

I give it a year before Riot release something with exactly the same purpose as places like op.gg or leagueofgraphs etc, except with a massive advantage because they own all the data. The old match history API gave away too much value, and came as a cost.

FireDevil11:faceless:•

my friends opgg hasn't been able to be updated for a while, it only shows his first 10 matches and no matter how many games he played after that it doesn't update

has been bugged since forever for me where it shows matches being played in the future
