Battlecast Skarner VO Bug

Jetl0cke·Apr 20, 2016·3 votes·2,326 views

I was just playing a match on the Howling Abyss, and about every other line that Battlecast Skarner spoke was instead a line from his base skin. It seemed to happen more often while I was in one of the crystal zones, but I don't know if there is a correlation.

Hey EndOsiris -

Thanks for the report! We'll take a look at this today and see what's going on here. :3

Hiya EndOsiris!

Thanks for bringing this up! :]

Do you happen to remember if you experienced this bug with a Base Skarner on the enemy team? Or were you the only Skarner in the game?

I don't know about the topic creator but I experienced the same bug. Here's a few more details I can give you from my experience:

Summoner's Rift, Normal Draft (Only Skarner in the game)
Happened for movement, attacking, and ability VO (Q, R) seemingly at random
Sometimes I had two VO play at the same time, sometimes it chose just one (either original or Battlecast)
Seems to me very similar (if not the same?) to a bug in the last few patches (that just got fixed this patch) with Cho'Gath and the VO with his two legendary skins. I would hazard to guess, with the Omega Teemo report in the above comment, that it probably affects other skins with changed VO as well (maybe just legendary skins? Not sure if something like Battlecast Vel'Koz or Kog'Maw with just a filter is affected).

Hope this helps, will add that as annoying as this bug is, there was a moment where I heard "I miss my kind" followed up by "abandon your kind" a few seconds later and it was pretty eerie.

I should also mention the same thing happened when I played Teemo using the Omega skin. Apparently, just whenever Teemo was walking around, I would hear Teemo's normal VO; then, after a couple seconds, I would then hear the Omega Teemo's VO.

Thanks for the info, Alpha Skarner and Allusions!

We are aware of the Omega Squad Teemo bug, and we're working to get that fixed shortly!

This particular Battlecast Alpha Skarner bug should be fixed with the upcoming patch! :] Feel free to let me know if it ends up coming back.
