How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

You aren't looking at this practically. How often can that happen? Do you even know that that little buff change around will make up for 15% reduction in power of whoever died. In order for your situation to arise people would need to be near flawless in their rotations and mechanical execution.

Using myself as an example I'm a ps4 player and when i learn a fight i'm pretty much flawless when it comes to doing the mechanics. As a result and combined with knowledge of how the game works I can make changes in my gameplay to improve weather it be uptime, more uses of important buffs. Do i have the exact numbers in front of me? No and not every fight I do is logged otherwise my fllogs records would be really long. But do I need those numbers in front of me? Also no I already know my damage went up i went from 5 blood for bloods to 9 in the same fight of course my dps went up the exact number of which doesn't matter.

Why you ask, simple this is a team based game if the other players on the team just do what they always do that my extra uses of skills doesn't translate to a faster kill time or the increase from me doesn't save us from an enrage wipe. its only when all 8 players are using logs and making those changes that it can make the difference we call that speed running. Most people don't do that as again there's no real reason to. So the devs shouldn't be wasting resources on something that small section of the community already does just fine pc and ps4 players alike. The additional negatives to the community at large are unnecessary.

Again, you are able to do that. Not everyone can play at a high-level of optimization naturally. Not everyone is able to figure these things out intuitively. Quite a number of players, myself included, need these tools to figure out where we are messing up (because it's not always obvious), where we can improve, how we can compare to better players. Seems like you are arguing that what feels natural and easy to you should be natural and easy to everybody else that plays, and that simply just isn't possible or true.
