[GAMEPLAY] Sterak's Gage Shield Does Not Proc On Kled

Meow Kuroneko··9 votes·1,501 views

Hello,

As the title explains, currently on LIve Sterak's Gage is broken with Kled. While the effect technically procs on losing enough life, the only effects occurring are the additional base AD and size. You get no shield, at all, regardless of bonus health. The bug is extremely easy to reproduce; just buy a Sterak's Gage and proc the passive (you can do it instantly in Practice Mode). It is 100% a trap item at the moment on him. I even tested the Gage to see if the shield was simply "invisible" (not visually displaying but the shield was still applying) and it isn't, you take full damage and never receive any shield whatsoever.

I am almost certain the reason this is happening is that with the update from total health to bonus health Sterak's Gage was never coded to check for bonus health being applied only to Skaarl (since while Kled as a champion buys and benefits from bonus health, the game does not apply it to Kled's health bar but Skaarl's). Since it isn't coded to apply to he himself the game thinks he has 0 bonus health no matter how much bonus health he builds in regards to Sterak's Gage. The Gage needs to be coded to check either the health of Skaarl (which bonus health is forcefully applied to) or both of them (for posterity, in case Kled is changed in the future), not simply Kled himself.

Not the only bug to come with Steraks update

It's the only one I myself have seen, and I found out the hard way. My concern is that people who want to try out the new Sterak's either don't notice there's no shield, or might assume that the shield just doesn't display an effect now (or perhaps specifically on Kled with his unusual 2 health bars). It can be hard to realize in the middle of a match, especially when all the sound effects go off and you grow in size and whatnot.

What other ones have you experienced?

The shield duration is less than a second.

Just tested it on a champion that Gage actually works on (Garen) and holy crap you're not kidding... The tooltip says it decays over 8 seconds, but it decays over like .75 seconds. Ridiculous that this went to Live.

Could you please send in a ticket like I did.

Where is the QA team? How does this shit keep happening? I thought all this "removing the Legacy Client" business would stop nonsense like this from happening.

How would updating the client have any impact on in game bugs? There is literally no connection between the client and the game, which is why people on the old client could play with people on the new one.

Bug are bugs and they happen.

"The shield duration is less than a second."

I was thinking about it and I wonder if the reason it's lasting less than a second is because it was accidentally released to Live with a decimal misplacement or something (instead of lasting 8 seconds it's lasting .8 seconds).
