A critical bug of Zoe occurs in LPL game which played by EDG and IG yestoday. Here's the link of vedio for this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqHTnDzDaJ0 Focus on 59:30 of this vedio.

IG-Rookie had the passive of item 3102 on his Leblanc. EDG-Scout's Zoe used her E hit Rookie and strangely ignored the passive of item 3102 and made Leblanc fall in sleep, then killed her. The dead of Rookie changed the situation of the game a lot.

This bug has been widely discussed taday on the Chinese community. Many people made vedios to reproduce the bug. Here's the vedios https://www.bilibili.com/video/av27977273 (derectly reproduce the bug many times) https://www.bilibili.com/video/av28016207 (also derectly reproduce the bug many times) https://www.bilibili.com/video/av28010392 (00:45 ,testing other spots ingame and also reproduce the bug)

I recommand this vedio which is very clear to conclude how this bug happens https://www.bilibili.com/video/av27980657 From this vedio we know if:

  1. Zoe extend her E by wall (no matter how thick the wall is)
  2. The target need to stands still, if he/she moves after Zoe cast E, the passive of B.V. will not disappear
  3. Both Zoe and the target are close to the wall Then this E has a HIGH chance (nearly 100%) to invalidate the passive of banshee's veil immediately after the E casted, then this bubble will still hit the tatget, let him/her fall in sleep.

This bug is not hard to reproduce. Many people have make vedios to show this bug. When it happens, the passive of item 3102 will immidiatelly disappear when Zoe cast E, and few moments later the bubble will hit the target derectly.

So, rioter, is this a truly bug? Also does Zoe need to be temporarily banned on championship game?

  1. It's a bug that requires you to stand specifically in that spot with a veil meaning it's not easy to reproduce because it requires your opponent imput. A bug like Xerath attacking a certain spot in fountain and hitting every enemy champ and minion is easy to reproduce. This bug is a rare occurrence that may happen in one of 50 games.

  2. You said high chance but not 100% chance meaning that it's not fully exploitable.

  3. Either Zoe or Banshee's Veil need a hotfix, not to be disabled but a quick mini patch. For all we know this isn't a bug with Zoe but the item itself. Has this interaction been tested with other abilities against spell shield?

Her E is a fucking long ass ability. Maybe it shouldn't leave behind an aoe spell ability that stays on the ground.
