[GAMEPLAY] HOW IS THIS STILL NOT FIXED

Kludgykiller··222 votes·14,250 views

So yesterday I was playing solo que ranked and I was playing Xerath. The enemy team chose to pick shaco mid against me. I thought that was kind of odd, but pretty soon I found out why. Apparently shacos fear ability with that little box nulls the ability to use my Q for the whole game. From what I noticed it happened when I got feared mid Q. The enemy shaco then started laughing at me saying, and I quote "can't use your Q huh buddy haha" When I searched about this issue I saw a similar post from 4 MONTHS AGO. In that post it said if I restart my client It will allow me to Q again, so I restarted and it let me. Also, I searched it wasn't only shaco and xerath that this happens to. If ur ability is a charge up like Vi Q then you are at risk at getting that ability nulled for the whole game. Also it's not only shacos box it's any fear,silence, or taunt that can bug your champ. So im very shocked that it's been 4 months and still no fix to this bug. Please summoners we need to shed light on this issue, because now im paranoid to play Xerath my favorite champ.

EDIT: Many people are saying to change my key bind of the ability, and change it back. I tried that mid game, and it still didn't work!. The ONLY way to fix it is by restarting your client.

Did you report him for exploiting a bug? It's a bannable offense, you know. (Or at least it should be, especially if he taunted you about it)

It's Riot's fault, not his.

That doesn't matter. He is taking advantage of something that isn't supposed to exist in order to better his odds. This is very much against the rules.

I had this happen to me as Varus one day. I fixed it by having our first pick choose a Shaco counter at last second because the Shaco in the next game auto locked when our captain picked but didn't lock Varus for me.

I have a similar issue with sion, but im unsure what causes his q to stop working, it seems as if it just happens randomly.

There was a red post saying they know about it. I don't know if this applies to just sion or all charged abilities that have this bug. I also don't know if this workaround will work but someone should try it

This is a known issue, and a fix is being worked on!

In the mean time, if this happens again, there is a temporary work-around. Quick Casting either of the two abilities (enabled in the Hotkey menu, or by pressing Shift-[hotkey]) will immediately unlock both spells.

Hopefully that helps, and you can keep smashing faces with the big scary Noxian :P

Once I got to the part about what shaco said i thought "fucking dick"

Sounds like a weird issue. Let's upvote this to make sure it gets seen, but remember, it can take a while to pin some of these things down. Hopefully Rito gets on this, though!

What would they get for fixing game-breaking bugs?

They have all these quality skins and reworks to release. /s

I Main Swain2 votes

Those are different teams that work on bugs vs marketing/art

Serpents Embrace2 votes

Just being bitter over here. They've got so many teams, but it doesn't really seem like anything's really getting addressed.

I Main Swain1 votes

that's cuz they probably aren't that far in their efforts so they don't want to make an announcement and have to turn on it, which we all know has a bad history of pissing everyone off.

Serpents Embrace1 votes

The silence is definitely worse. :\

I Main Swain1 votes

no trust me its not. think about it this way. would you rather someone promised you something by X date and then back out on it or be crazy late, or would you rather they didn't announce until they were absolutely certain of it getting done and getting done by X date?

Serpents Embrace1 votes

When did I ask for a promise for a release date?

I just want communication. The wall of silence about the Cassiopeia slaughter is worse than the nerfs themselves.

So no, "thinking about it that way" is bullshit, I'm sorry, but no one expects a promise - just communication.

I Main Swain1 votes

didn't say you asked for a promised release date, I'm saying that riot has actually been communicating, just A) not to the ragey posts which is what most people are doing and B) often times its not on the beta but somewhere else. not sure where but people seem to magically get info from riot in other places :D

Serpents Embrace2 votes

That's all you have to say after eating your own words?

Don't make baseless accusations, especially when all you're doing with them is trying to deflect my annoyance. The silence is crippling and every day it keeps up lowers my ability to trust any Rioter on any subject. If they ever mess up again on such a grand scale - how can I believe they're going to promptly address it? They swept this under the rug and are neglecting it. The best you can give me is not wanted to demand "promised due dates" when that has nothing to do with the nature of my grievance. Get out of my face.

Dang, when I first read it I though you were just walking near the box everytime you charged your Q, so you were just CC'ed out of the channel, but it actually bugs it for the rest of the game (even when you're not near the box)? That's messed up.

Eye of Orion3 votes

So that's what it was. I never knew that. I couldn't use my q so many times and NOW I know why. I've even had that issue on Amumu's ult. yes. THAT got bugged

crunchiness3 votes

Just had this issue playing with Vi, tried changing key bindings with no luck, Q stopped working when I maxed it up so I was useless :[ Everyone please complain they need to get this fixed.

doviende1 votes

If Vi Q is broken, the fix is supposedly to self-cast Q (ie Alt-Q in the default keybindings)

LuckyReden2 votes

This has happened to me inumerable times as Vi, and i've had to completely leave the game and restart the client, and its often cost me the game. Basically what happens is it gets interuppted at some point, then my q is permanantly treated like I'm either out of mana or I haven't put a point in the ability yet. Its absurd. Pls fix this.

Some bugs are much harder to track and fix then others, even if they seem somewhat small and insignificant.

If I recall, there is/was a Shen Shen bug that has eluded or did elude Riot for a very long time. No matter how hard you try, some bugs are just harder to pin down then others.

However, you should report that player for exploiting the bug. More then likely, he will be banned.

I have noticed on more than one occasion that when the Relic shield is on Thresh it does not seem to proc when a minion is below 200 hp. You have to actually have to get the last hit on a minion for it to heal and give the gold to your ADC. Has anyone else had this issue?

Kludgykiller3 votes

Thresh is considered a range champion and relic shield only procs for melee champions

VITEV0092 votes

However it will proc if close enough, within melee range (with thresh)

I'm sure they know about it...so it'll get fixed by season 6. You know..like the shen ult thing...except we actually know what causes this one. Still, i wouldn't expect them to actually do anything about it. They are busy changing the champ art spacing for the loading screen so they can say the put work into new game modes like hexakill. lol

(yes i know those aren't the same groups that work on that, its a joke).

Didn't you know Riot doesn't generally fix most game-breaking bugs? I can name several that are in the game today that go back years. You'll notice there are basically no Riot posts in the Bug Reports forum. That's why it's still not fixed: their bugfixing is atrocious.

Bloodhawk952 votes

4 months from a previous post and Riot hasnt fixed it? Seems like they want Shaco to troll people forever...

OneSlickPhony1 votes

Does this mean I can't play Shaco anymore?

Marthian3 votes

No but considering he has absurdly good ganks, the other team will thank you for not playing him.

Tear of the Goddess bug:

If i buy 2 Tear of the Goddess items and i farm them to 750/750 mana and then i buy a manamune or archangel staff, then that item upgrades itself to 1000mana but the other tear of the goddess restart to 0 !!! and then i have to farm it again for the manamune to upgrade..... this is not right ...

Delioth1 votes

That's because the tear of the goddess passive is UNIQUE and NAMED- both of them will show it, but you'll only get stats once. It'll 'reset' because you only charged it up once- you charged a full 'mana charge', and that carried over to the muramana or seraph's, and you need to recharge the second tear Notice that the two tears are always the same, and look at your mana gen- you'll only get stats from one of the stackings. This is intended behavior. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Item#Unique

I had an issue with Varus during a 3's game. I couldn't use Q for the rest of the game till I restarted my client.

so sad

TheDapperDespot1 votes

This happened to me before while using Varus. Only once, during URF.

Vlasimuthe1 votes

Ah, now I see what happened during an ARAM a while back. My first time playing Vi and halfway through the match I noticed my q was no longer working, I think the enemy team had a fiddlesticks.

Ranger Joe Momma1 votes

Same thing with Varus Varus mid Q charge before death. Its an issue on a few champions that need to charge up their abilities before use.

Just Mid1 votes

I have an issue like that but it happens with all spells and it just spawns me like that at the start of the game. I have to restart the whole client to get it working again.

And this has been a known glitch SINCE I FUCKING STARTED PLAYING YEARS AGO. One time it happened so many times in one day that I got a Leaver Buster ban. It happens at random. As of now I've been good for over a week.. but who knows when it will strike again?

Not to mention another glitch where I spawn with no sound in the game. That one's an easier fix though since I just have to press the disable all sound button, apply it, and put it back on again. But still annoying af.

Was wondering why I couldn't use Varus's Q anymore. I forgot to report it ._.

Bears Dont Care1 votes

You need to manually click the ability and that will make your hotkeys function again.

Delimon1 votes

The same thing happens with a lot of ults and what not. I've lagged or something on several occasions and the next thing I knew I couldn't use X ability.

Personally I just think it's Riot's shitty servers and coding because I've only had similar occurrences back in Dota 2 beta but they fixed that within a month anyway.

fred13041 votes

You can fix it easily, ive had it done to me several times as sion and Vi just open up the menu and put your Q as quick cast use it once then take it off and it works just fine

SelflessTeammate1 votes

Well, that could explain the occasional Xerath (I've never played him) going,

Xerath "Dude, seriously, my Q isn't working. At all." Blitzcrank "MAYBE YOUR KEYBOARD IS NOT WORKING" Xerath "Maybe, except I just typed the exact letter specified, genius. Noc come mid until I restart client" Nocturne "Do you need someone...Noc'd up?"

Kylaniwbu1 votes

This actually happened to me as Vi also - it was quite annoying because I was doing so well as her and all of a sudden my q stopped working ;n; but it was all good

Bumble Bear1 votes

I have been having this bug and I found a "fix". If you take your q off/onto quick cast and use the ability and swap beck it works fine. however please fix
