Attack speed has to be shown as the level 1 value, doesn't it? All sources of bonus attack speed are relative to a champion's attack speed at level 1, including the per-level.

Attack speed is also the only statistic where the per-level is considered "bonus" (per level armor is considered base armor, for example). Attack speed is an exception to a lot of things.

A champion's attack speed is, for example, BASE: 0.638 + BONUS: (3% * level)(other sources). You cannot change that base value.

It would be better if we changed our statistics section to have buttons that flick between N, and 18, with level 1 as the default (and on N list AS as N/A). Or, change the smallprint to say "excluding level 1, on attack speed" (much like Tristana's passive).
