Thunderlord's Decree game breaking bug [Gameplay]

Blazin Creed·Nov 16, 2015·175 votes·21,538 views

Currently the Keystone Mastery Thunderlord's Decree has a huge gamebreaking bug in which if more than one person on the same team have that mastery, only one of them works throughout the game. I don't know which one works but I think it is whoever has higher pick order. This is soooo bad because it basically means the person(s) who can't use the mastery basically get shafted and they don't have a keystone mastery. I don't know how this bug isn't hotfixed yet.

Not hotfixed because 4xAD on every team means 2 Thunderlords on one team never happens.

How the hell did that make it to live? Damn it PBE and your moments of playing w/ new and shiny OP reworks and not stacking thunderlord's on a team.

To be fair, the only thread reporting it: A) Didnt know how to reproduce the bug B)Was pretty buried https://gyazo.com/ebdd1e52172854d92ac78ef09df6b884

I'm pretty sure that graves was mentioned as being a bit unbalanced on PBE servers also. I think at this point we just need to get Laughingfish to find the perfect meme for "It's not a bug/balance problem that relates to the new skin right? Let's ship it live and fix it next patch."

Hey everyone,

Thanks for reporting this! We're aware of the issue and are working to resolve it ASAP.

LuciferNov 17, 20151 votes

Can you also comment on the AP / AD Ratios being flipped? Or is this just an issue with the tooltip? It seems pretty balanced at 20% AP, since it's a 3 proc, but it's something that's not matching in game with the mastery description.

Shhhh don't tell them that

Asap? Its been a month and its still fucking broken just remove it from the game.

Blazin CreedNov 16, 201513 votes

It's actually happened to me in a couple games so far... and some of those games I lost out on many kills because the person limps away with barely any hp (which they wouldn't have had if my thunderlord's actually worked). item 3070

This is definitely a serious bug that needs to be fixed as soon as possible, but you shouldn't label it "game breaking". Game breaking would mean that the game is unplayable, either because something is so ridiculously OP that you can't fight against it, or because it glitches the game so hard that you can't meaningfully play it. Neither of those are the case here.

The EcdysiastNov 16, 20151 votes

It's a lot more game breaking than a champion just being overpowered.

As we've seen with... basically every champion effected in the last 10 patches, being overpowered isn't game breaking.

LarasoNov 16, 20152 votes

Just being overpowered is not game breaking. Being overpowered to the point that you have 80%+ win rates, however, would be considered "game breaking".

FacerollKatarinaNov 16, 20151 votes

Game breaking doesn't mean the game is unplayable. It means that theres something unfair and drastic that shouldn't be there.

Painted CeltNov 16, 20154 votes

Hm. This is quite concerning if true. I have no idea why you were downvoted. I have upvoted to bring this back to a positive number and to help make this visible.

LarasoNov 16, 20152 votes

He was never downvoted. If you have FEK you'll see he has zero downvotes.

EDIT: Not anymore. But at the time this post was made, he had zero downvotes.

Painted CeltNov 16, 20151 votes

The thread was at 0 net votes when I first read it. Threads naturally start at 1 net vote. I upvoted it back to 1 net vote. It's possible that whoever had downvoted it originally decided to upvote it later on. It could have even been that the original poster accidentally downvoted himself and then undid that later. I have no idea whether you can see that on FEK since I do not use FEK.

Cool, now they're gonna use this as an excuse not to buff mages if they need a buff

PlsTouchMeGentlyNov 16, 20152 votes

Agreed, this is an extreme issue if true. Could we get some proof?

BaculusNov 16, 20152 votes

it's true

Kyoko KirigiriNov 16, 20152 votes

Can confirm, this bug occurred in my last ranked game. Rather devastating for some burst mids, would love a fix when possible!

Blazin CreedNov 16, 20152 votes

worst part is that riot seems to like to answer to non-bug posts about certain champ interactions with each other or taunts/quotes.. but doesn't seem to care enough to even answer about a bug that is actually game breaking.

Arch Mage MagnusNov 17, 20152 votes

LOL, Riot couldn't find their own asshole if shit didn't come out of it.

LuciferNov 16, 20151 votes

The ratios on it are also wrong. It's giving 20% AP and 10% AD. Although, it feels pretty balanced at the 20% AP, so I kind of hope they leave it like that (or it's a tooltip error).

The GovernerNov 17, 20151 votes

10% Bonus AD/Total AD? There is a huge difference between them.

LuciferNov 17, 20151 votes

It's supposed to be 20% bonus AD. It's currently giving 10% bonus AD. It's supposed to be 10% bonus AP. It's currently giving 20% bonus AP.

Sorry if that one wasn't clear :P

The GovernerNov 17, 20151 votes

The reason why I asked is because attack damage consists of base attack damage and bonus attack damage. Most abilities/items deal damage according to bonus attack damage or total attack damage, and that is why I questioned you about it. I didn't ask for ability power because you always start at 0 AP (there is no "base ability power" or "bonus ability power"), regardless of champion.

JahwehNov 16, 20151 votes

I hope this can be hotfixed, I am liking Thunderlord's on Corki, and mid laners are taking this often.

Talon12Nov 16, 20151 votes

i agree, i like it on corki as well, but every1 else says its the shttest mastery under the sun for him

JahwehNov 17, 20151 votes

haha yea wtf? same here i got shit for it too, but corki is way more spell based than auto based. and his auto attacks grant 2 stacks of thunder lords, so lvl 1 auto + Q is amazing trade (though i dont think it is intended)

Talon12Nov 17, 20151 votes

idc if its not meant to be, its fun, he can pretty much win any trade because of it, even just using e while csing will usually end in a won trade where you took no damage

MortekaiserNov 16, 20151 votes

can confirm this bug occurs, just happened to me in one of my matches

George LSNov 16, 20151 votes

Maybe if riot fixes the ping issues for European pbe users bugs like this will stop coming out that fast as pbe will be more productive and far more better on spotting them.

The ToucherNov 16, 20151 votes

Wow, so I don't know whether or not it's been procing in my games (I'm just not incredibly observant) but now I'm not sure if the mastery is as bad as I thought it was, or if I just wasn't getting the extra damage :/. I'm so salty at rito for this patch.

NostolgicSkiesNov 16, 20151 votes

its not fixed cause its a mastery for AP champs. thats why warlords is being fixed first isnt this patch to promote adc's. why would they change that focus by giving Ap champs something to celebrate.

Hey buddy, you want a spare tinfoil hat?

ap items gold increased, masteries changed to better ad users, mana pots removed, ap masteries are glitched. . .its not hard to to see the end results when the pattern is so obvious. its not paranoia is obvious patterns showing obvious results on a singled out class of champs atm.

elon wątrobaNov 16, 20152 votes

ad mana casters are fucked more, you won't build double doran ring on talon or jayce.

SacredLieNov 17, 20151 votes

But you can build a essense reaver and have a happy life

elon wątrobaNov 17, 20151 votes

Pay 3k+ gold for 1/5 chance to 3% max mana regen assuming no other crit items, so yeah.

No wonder why people feel like this has no impact in the game.

Good job riot keep up the work

BlainezyNov 17, 20151 votes

That would explain why mine hasn't been working. I just thought maybe the effects weren't that flashy. Haha

CamazotNov 18, 20151 votes

Doesn't happen only if two people on the same team has it. I think only one in every game can proc it, disregarding the teams. In my last games I had Thunderlord and an ENEMY had Thunderlord and, of course, both games mine didn't work while my enemies' did. :v
