Hey, guess whose spears are still invisible?

Riot: disable Nidalee. There is no reason as to why she should not be disabled until this bug is fixed.

There is a perfectly good reason for it: Riot likes Nid. Therefore, Nid is allowed to have strong bugs. If Nid had some bug that made her worse, the entire server would be shut down until it were fixed.

Hence the Nid Kass disable when they kept using skills backwards.

I've never not seen a spear. Maybe your eyesight just sucks.

Sorry to say that this is a consistent bug that has been seen everywhere from YouTube videos to live streams. it's not just me.

Ariel the CruelMar 21, 20155 votes

You can find it in a few LCS videos too.

Urdnot EntarMar 21, 20157 votes

Uh oh, it's one of the "I didn't see the bug so it must not exist" crowd. Downvote, ignore and move on, people.

Uh oh, it's one of the "I don't have to provide proof that I didn't just lose by being bad at dodging" crowd. Downvote, ignore and move on, people.

Urdnot EntarMar 22, 20159 votes

Oh, you poked the dragon. Riot and its fanboys may say otherwise (when Riot actually communicates at all), but there are intermittent bugs all over League of Legends. One example, among many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMmxvAVhhQI

LeeDarkMar 22, 20151 votes

Oh yeah, Riot NEVER admits there are bugs in the game. They can't afford to lose players by admitting the game doesn't always work properly... except for the longtime Shen bug, which was rare, hard to replicate, hard to fix. The only difference between one in a million Nid spears being invisible and one in a million Shen ults not working is that only Shen players cared about the Shen bug, since it screwed them. Not one of his opponents ever came to the forums to say, "Man, I only won this game because the enemy Shen's ult didn't work. NOT FAIR RIOT, DISABLE THIS CHAMP IMMEDIATELY."

Urdnot EntarMar 22, 20155 votes

Didn't say they never admit there are bugs in the game, but they won't acknowledge just how many they aren't fixing. And I was talking on a more general basis than just the Nidalee spears thing.

But yeah, let's not feed the trolls.

DengedenMar 22, 20152 votes

"Guys, we are currently not working on this issue." What the heck would be the point of such a statement? They frequent Boards, they know it's there (they know it's not exclusive to Nidalee, cough cough), have some patience.

Urdnot EntarMar 23, 20151 votes

We've been waiting on a lot of these fixes for literally years. Do you have any idea how long people have been complaining about hitboxes (the problems aside from the lag)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuiGn6_uIxY Doing nothing + acknowledging nothing = exactly what an awful QA/dev team does.

DengedenMar 23, 20151 votes

Or you know, maybe it's hard or even impossible to fix? That Quinn bug with her blind required a fundamental change how AAs work. This is such a slight change to gameplay and yet already risked breaking the game.

Now imagine changing something affected by champion width, projectile width, projectile speed, champion movement and every champion in existence...

Again, what would be the point of telling us that they have no idea what causes it or how to fix it? To make people like you feel righteous?

TheyCallMeB0N3SMar 23, 20151 votes

Ummm they still haven't fixed Amumu's Q, you know where it completely misses and still "lands".

Sure it's not game breaking but still whats the point of making it a skillshot if you can miss by a yordle's width to either side and still have it land?

DengedenMar 23, 20151 votes

Except changing something specific to any given champ is different from fixing skill shots as a whole.

StephenizgodMar 22, 20151 votes

omg... you just made my night... I always thought i was doing something wrong when this happened... its been like forever since ive noticed this and thought it was me... DAMN YOU BUGS!!!

baaljinnMar 22, 20154 votes

just to be sure most of you are talking about the spears themselves being invisible but the particles around them still being fully visible? every video i see and every game ive had with a nid the particles are always there.

FeathermaneMar 21, 20153 votes

Just a coincidence. If Nunu shot invisible Ice Blasts, he totally wouldn't get disabled instantly.

Urdnot EntarMar 21, 20152 votes

Nunu ice blasts are targeted, so being invisible doesn't make a difference in dodging them.

Ulquiorra995Mar 21, 20153 votes

Because your carry getting chunked or killed by something you can't even see is totally not game breaking and not worthy of being disabled until fixed.

Remember when Viktor's ult had a buggy interaction with Annie's ult? A bug occurring on a matchup between two obscure champions was considered broken enough to be disabled. Meanwhile, Nid is in almost every fucking game and is allowed to straight out ruin people's games with this piece of shit.

Seriously, playing Nidalee while this bug is around should be a reportable offence considering how much unfair advantage it gives.

Tyr Ahn NeeMar 21, 20153 votes

Kayle's attacks are Invisible. Kayle's attacks have always been invisible. As a matter of fact, no one likes it when I point out that Kayle's attacks are invisible. And, it would be hypocrisy of the highest order to disable Nidalee because of invisible attacks and not disable Kayle. (not that Rito isn't a big fat hypocrite.)

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic.

They don't have travel time. Nid spears do.

GorgiolioMar 21, 201511 votes

They aren't invisible, there isn't even projectiles involved. Her E literally just changes her attack range, it's a regular basic attack.

bad arcade kittyMar 21, 20153 votes

pretty sure it's only one skin, headhunter nid (which also was on a sale recently) they should disable the skin, not the champ

Fine by me, so long as it gets done.

The only reason some of you don't notice is because its only invisible when you're using her head hunter skin

not true, just happened to me on her warring kingdoms skin.

That's kind of the point.

mack9112Mar 22, 20152 votes

I don't seem to have any problems seeing the spears :/ could the problem perhaps be computer related or region related ? Just throwing it out there I mean.

DrKnorMar 22, 20152 votes

You guys do realize that just because the particles are visible it doesn't make it not a bug. When I'm against Nidalee I'm not trying to dodge particles, I'm trying to dodge the spear. The only time it's easy to dodge the particles (although I'm meant to be dodging a spear) is in a 1v1 situation or if you see the Nidalee throw it. Yes it isn't impossible to dodge but it makes it more difficult. Either way it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

As many complaints i have seen, i havent yet experience this problem. Thats leads me to believe that it may have something to do with settings, but who knows.

And low blow man......
