[Gameplay] Replay System - Potential Bug - Public Beta Environment
Hi there!
I wanted to bring this potential bug to attention because I haven't been able to find any relative posts or questions regarding it.
Note: This bug is NOT present in the regular client. I'm pretty sure it['s just due to the fact that the PBE receives a lot of frequent updates. But nonetheless, it might be worth looking into.
Issue: When viewing games in Riot's new replay system, there seems to be a lack of ability effects for all champions.
For example, in this clip I use a multitude of abilities as Riven (Q, W, E, R, Hydra) in frequent succession but many of them don't appear in the replay. This isn't an in-game issue either. It's only present when watching replays from any of my past games.
I have almost perfect server connection (despite the PBE's normal issues), my settings are maxed and my computer is more than capable of rendering high quality effects, and I have searched for a potential option in the settings menu that may affect the way abilities are shown, finding nothing of the sort.
Expectation: Being able to see visual effects for abilities.
Certain abilities such as Wind Slash can be seen, but those leading up to it are not. This could have something to do with the way Riven's animation cancelling works, but I noticed the same issue for all champions.
Reproduction:
- Play a game of League of Legends (Public Beta Environment).
- Download and watch replay.
- Notice the lack/presence of visual effects on most abilities.
Success Rate: 50% (3/6 games)
