[Gameplay] Kindred Bug: If W is cast the moment Scuttle walks into Fog of War, Wolf will ignore it
I was testing Kindred's jungle clear in patch 8.11 on the practice tool, and noticed that Wolf didn't attack the Scuttle Crab, even if I started attacking it with AA's.
Tested some things and found out that if I cast W the moment the Crab steps into the little riverbrush, disappearing from vision, Wolf would just float around doing nothing. Even attacking the Scuttle Crab did nothing. I made a bug report a few patches ago and tested this in all patches after that, and it still happens.
I tested this further today, and noticed that this also works with corners. If you stand around a corner, like the one between redside Blue buff and the river, you can see a portion of the river. If you watch Scuttle Crab, and throw out a W the moment it steps into Fog of War, Wolf will ignore the Crab like with the brush.
So here are simple step by step instructions on how to reproduce this bug:
- Pick Kindred
- Level up your W
- Walk to the river and wait for Scuttle Crab to spawn
- Either manipulate Scuttle Crab's movement, or wait for it to enter Fog of War (brushes work as well)
- The moment Scuttle Crab disappears, cast W (make sure the Crab is still inside the W area!)
- Wolf will now just float around doing nothing
- You cant additionally try to attack the Scuttle Crab, Wolf won't react
- Spawning an enemy target dummy inside the W area while Wolf is being passive, he will attack the dummy
This may not happen THAT often, but it is very impactful to Kindred's jungling speed/mark gathering if it does happen.
Hope this helps with fixing the bug! -Xazutik
