Seeing as this thread is supposed to be about improving FlipText and not whatever is actually going on, I have a suggestion which I believe could sort out the issue while making "essential" information clear and hiding "nonessential" information but not making it hard to find for people who don't understand FlipText.

Use Fliptext only for compressing space taken up by values which are changed by a flat amount that scales with rank or percentage that scales with rank in certain cases, have it accessed by clicking on or hovering over the standard* essential** information. Values which are changed by a flat amount or percentage that does not scale with rank in certain cases do not need FlipText.

Essential** information is displayed to the right of the description, as it generally is now.

Nonessential*** information is hidden under a spoiler underneath essential** information.


 * Standard: The effect on its own on champions. Whether this is higher or lower than the effect on other units or higher or lower than its own modified effect, this is the standard. Standards in all cases are listed first in order of importance, and standards in FlipText is what's automatically shown.


 * Essential: Information that cannot be discerned from reading the description or other prior essential information.


 * Nonessential: Information that can be discerned by reading the description and essential information. Modifiers of essential information will now be stated in the description.

Example of essential information: Shyvana's Burnout's movement speed modifier.

Example of nonessential information: Shyvana's bonus magic damage on basic attacks during Burnout.

Example of FlipText uses / essential information: Shyvana's Burnout's damage per second to non-monster enemies (standard) / monsters.

Example of FlipText uses / nonessential information:  Shyvana's Burnout's minimum damage to non-monster enemies (standard) / monsters
