[GAMEPLAY] Katarina Q and R not working

Auroras of Autum·2/3/2015, 11:57:12 AM·17 votes·7,882 views

Just played a game with Katarina. About halfway through a 40 minute game I tried to use her Q and the targeting rangefinder circle thing appeared but when I released the Q key she would not throw her bouncing blade. Worked on neither champs nor minions. Same thing happened with her R, except it just wouldnt go off. Weird thing is, I actually clicked on the skill icon to use her ultimate and it still didn't work. This bug went away for a few minutes but then it came back after about 5 minutes. Hoping other people can add to my account of this bug as I am too lazy to go on with this report.

Same thing happened to me after I activated Zhonya's. Q, R, and B would not work.

Indeed, this same glitch occured around the 35 minute mark in my game. My team thought I was trolling when I said my Q wasn't working... Lol.

No Riot comment on this yet and it's still happening to me as of yesterday.

when i play with katarina or with miss fortune, R doesn't do it. miss fortune shoot one time 5 bullets, instead of 10 or more. katarian shoot one knife instead of 10 or more. how can i change that?

Fixed after flicking smartcast on then off, and popped a zhonya, then won the game

Same bug here, tried deco reco, bind new keys, change smartcast, change keyboard... Nothing worked for 10 min, and my r, q and b came back all of a sudden for no reason. How to get your game f*** ='D

This just happened to me, it wasn't that bad because the enemy surrendered 2 mins later after it happened, but it happened after i got a kill which "reset" my ult which is weird because it should have gone on cd but then i couldn't use my q or r

YaBoyLD5/14/2015, 7:00:50 AM1 votes

this just happened to me with q and b never tried using r because the game ended but it sure was annoying

I had this happen and I went to reconnect to see if it would fix, and ended up patching 5.11, then when I reconnected, we could have won if I could use my abilities, I got a loss and a leave buster. I'm madder than hell.

Also happened to me with the Q in 2 different games

Same Was playing as kat when I told my team it q or r wouldn't work; they thought i was trolling.

Shotashy2/4/2015, 5:30:00 AM1 votes

I just had the same type of bug occur for me playing kat and made a forum post about it. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/tvtXftQh-gameplay-katarina-autoattacks-recall-q-and-r-stop-working-altogether Riot needs to see this asap!

HowdyDoodly6/6/2015, 5:41:05 AM

Same thing happened to me, also in ranked solo queue. I used smart cast during the game too, and while I heard the click to confirm the action was registered, nothing happened. I think this may be the same bug that occurs occasionally for Varus' Q as well from season 4? At least it is in effect, haven't seen the high-level code myself. :P
