Cassiopiea Poison is invisible

Whenever cass casted her purple poison that spread the poison wasn't visible by anyone on our team. Pretty sucky since it slowed you and you could run into it without knowing.

This is still happening? WTF.

I posted this in the wrong area, so I'm just going to post what I had written up regarding the same issue.

I'm not sure if this is a known issue or if this is the right place to put it but figured this needed to be known. So I'm posting it in case devs aren't already aware. So to clarify, b visibility issue I mean it was invisible. I was playing against Cass and when I brought it up in all chat she mentioned that sometimes it was invisible for her too. Later in the game one of my teammates came to gank and realized it was the same issue. The casting animation was visible (with the little purple bit flying from her hands) but the pool it leaves on the ground was not.

I really wish I had taken screenshots, but I was bit frustrated and more focused on trying to avoid getting punished for not having information that should have been available. As you can imagine a very frustrating thing to encounter, so I hope the cause can be found (as I am guessing it isn't a 100% occurrence.

Not just cassio... there are a lot of errors.

LoL's most disturbing bug (error, whatever...) list:

  • Invisible abilities: Nida spears (skins Bewitching, Pharaoh, Headhunter, Warrior Kingdom), Morgana Q-s, Sion ult, Braum Q, Cassio W etc. In this kind of bug, usually if the attack goes almost full lengths, you can see the animation around it. But not the "attack" (e.g. the spear) itself. Although I must admit, that the Nida invisible spears seem to disappear :) Thus I could see them again in my last few games.

  • Abilities disappear -> they go on CD, but nothing happens on anybody's screen, nor do they make any damage/effect. (Again, not just me, I have been asked also, and I didn't see a thing)

  • There are some champions, who sometimes suddenly cannot cast an ability/abilities unless you re-login to the game (IF re-logining is working at all). This can happen to Vi Q-s, or Katarina's abilities. Kata cannot even recall when this error appears. Sivir's Q and E can be the same. Sometimes it is very, very hard to cast, no matter how hard and how many times I push the button.

  • Ignite/smite/BotRK/etc. won't go out and there were no CC involved. (The champion attacked and cast abilities, but the smite/ignite/BotRK/etc. The smite had 2 charges and remained 2 charges... And yes, we pushed the right button.)

  • Champions can cast abilities while silenced -> For example: Lee is trying to escape from Garen when he silenced him and in the middle of the silence - the silence-sign is still on him - Lee kicks Garen away. He DID NOT start the ult before the silence. I have looked it up, it cannot be started before the silence and cast it later (like a Nocturne ult).

  • A really, really rare but that much disturbing bug is when suddenly I cannot ward (for example as a support). I push the button, the ward won't go down. Instead I ping for fallback (the yellow exclamation mark). I always ping when I try to put down a ward. Once it happened with Lucian also. It was even worse: I could not use any of my abilities, I always pinged instead. Again: this is VERY RARE, still happened not long ago. And no, this is not because of Windows sticky keys.

There are some errors, what I think exists because the servers cannot sync in time (maybe all of the above are because of this too):

  • "jumping minions" -> they walk normally then suddenly they appear way ahead than before. (with a stable 60fps and 35 ping). Sometimes champions do the same too.

  • Turret not always hits enemy champion even if it is under it and attacks another champion. It still targets minions for several shoots then switches to enemy (if switches at all). This appears in teamfights also, somehow nobody get hit by turret. (It happens not just with "OMG it should target the enemy, how could I die?!" situations, or with ranged enemies who can "play" with the turret range. Usually this bug happens during melee vs melee, plus it also happens when I or my teammates attack and don't get hit by turret).

  • Worst of all what I call "bad hitbox" -> abilities connect when they shouldn't and don't connect when they should (it seems like a Thresh hook goes THROUGH the minion for example. NOT JUST with enemies, "my/my teammate's" abilities can do the same...) I have been told that this problem exists because of slower syncing of the server. More and more people plays so the existing servers cannot handle it very well. This is true, even the "pros" have it. Check out Sp4zie's video (Ashe commentary, from 3:25 to 4:00).

And there are some errors, which are in the client itself. Like after a 5 premade game, I push "play again", and I get into the "Custom Game Lobby". I cannot imagine, how... Another that after 1-2 hours "non-using" the client, it sort of "shuts down". You cannot do anything (clicking anywhere), you must re-login. The in-client chat also has sometimes weird behaviour (e.g. text randomly copying itself, refusing to stay at the bottom and forcing to scroll with every single message, not showing own sent messages).
