Screenshots Album: http://imgur.com/a/XlypP

Character Menu - The Character menu does not work what-so-ever. Any and all attempts to bring it up do not work, no matter what key it is bound to or how many times it is pressed. Only happening after the most recent patch. - This is a big one. I really miss being able to look at stats. Reproduction Rate: 10/10

Dino Gnar portrait bug - Dino Gnar frequently does not have a portrait except on the minimap and killfeed. Mousing over where the icon should be does not produce any mouse-over text except on the portraits on each side of the screen. First image in album. Reproduction Rate: 7/10

BadDesc BadPassives - Several champion passives show "BadDesc" instead of a description. Volibear's passive does not even show its name, and instead displays "BadPassive". Second image in album. Reproduction Rate: 10/10

**Buff/Debuff sticking bug **- Some buffs or debuffs will stay on champions for a very long time. The effect varies, sometimes showing icons and visuals but no sound, while other times looping the audio effects but not visuals. So far I have seen it occur on Corki's Gatling Gun, Zhonya's active, Oracle's Lens' true sight, Kog'Maw's Icathian Surprise, Leblanc's Ethereal Chains, and ignite. Third and fourth images in album. Reproduction Rate: 3/10 Reproduction steps: None. Seemingly random.

Chat filter - The chat filter apparently cannot be turned off. No matter what settings the user has both in-game and in spectator mode, chat in spectator mode always filters out offensive language. Reproduction Rate: 10/10

Kalista - One time, the spectator chat stated that Kalista had bought her dagger again. When I moused over it, it showed a variation of "badDesc". No screenshots were taken, unfortunately, and I have no reproduction steps. Reproduction Rate: ?/10

Time Skipping bug - When time skipping, or occasionally even when first starting a spectating session, a champion may appear to be where they are going to be in 3-6 seconds, then teleport to their real location a few seconds later. Reproduction Rate: ~4/10 Reproduction Steps: Go back in time, watch minimap for teleporting portraits after skip is complete.

Ability/passive description inconsistency (Minor, possibly not a bug) - Some champions have descriptive ability mouse-overs, while others are extremely basic. This is especially noticeable with passives, such as Kog'Maw's, which shows exact amount of true damage done, while Twitch's passive description has no numbers what-so-ever. Reproduction Rate: 10/10

Was thinking of making a post like this... a couple extra:

  • A lot of the game effects don't display (at least consistently) if you rewind after reaching the end-of-game Victory screen: Most audio doesn't play, you can't bring up the chat window, and you don't see champions earning gold for last hitting. 10/10 Repro.
  • When spectating a game from lobby and then the game client loads in, it frequently shows an arbitrary amount of time (i.e. 16:38/16:38) and nothing happens for a while. Eventually the game catches up and runs normally. ? Repro, since I only see this when spectating friends.

I also really miss the detailed ability descriptions. Seeing the numbers spike up after item buys was interesting before, but many abilities just say "deals damage" and it's really boring.
