Greetings fellow summoners.
This unfortunate bug has affected me and many others in the na and eu region.I am sure riot is trying their best to handle the situation.The bug has obviously been fixed as it was only present for a brief period.But,we now have to deal with the aftermath.What will riot do about reimbursing the lp of the affected players.More importantly,Why was loss prevention not turned on?It has been a day since the bug and there has seemingly been no word of what riot will do to rectify this situation.
Some will argue that the runes bug affected all 10 players in a given match so we shouldn't demand our lp back.I would like to argue that we should have loss prevention because the bug benefited some players while harming others.This gives an unfair advantage to some.A good example would be in the jungle.Mundo jungle's first clear is so bad that he has to take fleet footwork or be executed.The essential is that this was a game breaking bug that affected players differently thus giving an unfair advantage to some over others.
if you look at the Lol prevention article on the lol support website;
This mode is activated when League of Legends experiences server- or system-wide issues. It essentially tries to prevent players from being punished for reasons outside of their control.
Was this a system wide Issue? YES Na and Euw were affected,the many replies to this thread also proves this.
Was it out of player controle? YES No one could change their runes thus affecting their matches.
It is quite obvious that loss prevention should have been turned on.SO why was loss prevention not enabled?
the only thing I can think of is that perhaps no one was in the office when said bug occured.And now that it already happened,it would be too hard to go back and check every match that got this bug and give them loss prevention since it already happened.
There has been no word from riot as to what they will do.We do not know wether or not they have decided that they will turn back the losses or not.This makes players like ME feel that the people at riot are trying to sweep this under the rug praying that we do not make too much of a ruckuss.
