Ashe in game is severely bugged. Players are affected by the frost shot debuff and their auto attacks are replaced by their E skill or another skill like in this video Brand's autos are turned into ULTS at level 1! Please disable Ashe and fix ASAP.
Hey everyone! Wanted to let you know where we landed with this exploit - and to be clear, this was an exploit requiring game manipulation in violation of the Terms of Service, we are identifying abusers (fortunately a small number), and we are in the process of banning offending accounts.
Regarding the exploit itself, we patched out a server-side fix this morning (no download necessary on your end) and based on initial monitoring, the issue is resolved. Beyond today's fix, we're continuously working every patch to quietly improve our code so problems like this don't hit live servers, though we won't get into specifics for security reasons.
We also wanted to chat about our decision to leave Ashe enabled. As several of you noted, the exploit in question wasn't limited to Ashe, so in handling this particular issue, disabling her would just have led to offending parties sniffing out other abuse cases. Us providing this explanation yesterday would unfortunately have led to the same consequences as well. Withholding information from you is always uncomfortable for us but in situations like this we have to be sure we won't cause more problems for everyone by being up-front.
Thanks for sticking with us on this one, friends.
Don't worry. Rito has their top men on it.
2 out of my last 3 games have been affected by this bug, please upvote to get it to the developers attention this is ruining ranked games.
to be honest this would make for a fun featured game mode, auto attacks being replaced by an ability, but you can't cast them. only select them and then auto attack
I just suffered from this... playing against an Ashe. I was playing as Cait and my autoattacks came out as nets and drained 6 mana every shot. Couldn't shoot through units. The Nasus on my team couldn't Q... all came out as autoattacks.
bump for disabling ashe
and also sion
This affects at least 13 other champions that I know of. It's a bug where you can inject packets to the LoL server and it won't do simple validations like what level you are or whether or not you actually know the skill you're "using". There's a similar problem with summoner spells, which allows you to use spells that no longer exist, and these issues have been off-and-on for years. It's rather surprising that people are getting away with using them, though.. I haven't actually seen them used in real games, but I had an ARAM match tonight where the TF was throwing 2 red cards per AA. I think this calls for disabling at least these champs: Ashe, Brand, Ezreal, Fiora, Gragas, Jax, Lucian, Lulu, Pantheon, Twitch, TF, and Varus.
If there are any other champs, I'm sure there's an up-to-date list on reddit. Riot, you kinda need to worry about this. If all these posts about people having exploited this in 50+ ranked games are true, we may need to roll back the ranked ladder a day or two, or something.
That was hilarious though. The moment of OH CRAP SO MANY BRAND ULTS LET GET OUT OF HERE!
From what I heard, it's not a bug, it's an intentional exploit. Hopefully people doing this will get banned.
It's amazing to me Rito still hasn't disabled the champ. Whether or not you've managed to figure out the cause of the bug is irrelevant. Disable the champ and figure it out later because you've been presented with PLENTY of evidence that it's ruining games right now.
Welp, at least you were on it. Thanks Rito.
So....I get this is an exploit. but can we have a version of this for a featured game mode where our auto attacks are our ults? Certain champions obviously this doesn't work for. but this would be incredibly stupid and incredibly fun for a few games.
bump. Fuck this. Riot needs to ban whoever abused it ASAP. atleast a 48 ban.
YAASS! I just had an ally Ashe in the game, i got a passive of frost shot and every time i went to auto attack a minion i would get the charm animation and wouldn't even be able to get the CS! Two enemies RQ because of the exploit/bug pls fix. It is ruining ranked games where our enemy orianna had promos up :/
Let's be honest. They take an unusually long amount of time to finally admit there is a problem with these champs and disable them. The Xerath Q bug has been around for MONTHS and they JUST disabled him the other day and finally had to admit that yea, sometimes his Q just stops working in game. I expect ashe to be playable for at least another week.
this exploit just maybe an interesting mechanic
What I really, really want to know is... what the hell is riot doing that they haven't address this issue. It's truly gamebreaking and ruins everything. I hope riot fixes this as soon as possible. I understand that there is no %100 infallible code, but come on, at least be on top of this.
Its a Legit Hack, I made a post about lux having 40% Cd at lvl 1 with 50 Ap, i called it Rune Page stacking, no one believed me,said cheating was impossible in LoL, well LuL back at them because it clearly is very very possible, they need to disable not only the champs, but also rank que games for now to prevent other exploits from occuring while they due a full system cache clean
I know this will sound suspicious, but I'm a little curious, these exploits,did they require action on the Ashe's part, or the rest of the team. And also, would this exploit have been something that players could accidentally trigger, or was it too obscure to do without know how to do it.
Does it happen every time Ashe's in the game or just randomly? Tried it in a custom game and seemed normal to me.
