Ezreal giving vocal warnings when certain champions are near

Rupture·Apr 20, 2019·92 votes·17,252 views

So this bug saved me a couple of times from ganks even though I didn't have any wards. Ezreal usually says something upon meeting a certain type of champion in game, however, it seems there is a bug, and he doesn't actually need to see the champion, he just needs to be in near proximity to him.

In one instance, I was laning against Braum and Jhin , but suddenly Ezreal said something like: "Vastaya..." now being a slight lore freak, I clicked tab and saw their jungler was Rengar , I did a long range ward and he was in fact in the lane hiding in the bush. This happened a couple of times, and without error there was always a gank incoming...so I feel like you are giving lore freaks a hack that they shouldn't have ^^

When there are no items to break, Ez breaks voicelines xD

Not just Ez. In one ARAM game millenia ago, after they reworked Aatrox, I had line trigger towards Nautilus I didn't have vision over yet (lurking in nearby bush).

Wtf. Then I want MF to hear coins jingling in her head every time an enemy champion with a bounty on his or her head approaches MFs fog of war.

Jesus Christ, not only you break hearts, items and now you even break the game itself ?

Yeah this isn't cute. It's an extra passive on a champ that doesn't need to be buffed

Velzard of KozApr 20, 20191 votes

It's not Ezreal specific.

Who else does this? For educational purposes

Velzard of KozMay 3, 20191 votes

It happened with new Aatrox to me once. I would suspect it's related to the new interaction-specific voicelines.

tbf lore freaks should just take it and abuse it cause they deserve to be rewarded since they arenn't B)

happens with aatrox as well

Less an abuse then Zombie Brand that raises his hands when a champion is on screen. No need to ward, just look at him and you'll know wether someone is in the brush or not

oh shit really? I didn't notice that.

Now it makes the game certainly EZ for real.

~~HAHAHAHAHA~~

Zombie Brand used to do this too but with waving his arms when facing an enemy in a bush he had no vision of

It’s not a bug he’s been doing this for some while now as it suppose to fit in with his explorer kind of lore.

As far as I can remember he’s been doing this as far back as S6 to my recollection.

just because its been around doesnt make it a non issue.

TerozuApr 20, 20193 votes

He def did not do this in season 6.

He only got first encounter lines this past year with his rework.

And he didn't do this initially either.

It is a bug because multiple other times this happened to me with other champs.

SettDownShutUpApr 20, 20193 votes

I love this, but I can definitely see this is unfair XD

TerozuApr 20, 20192 votes

Yeah but it's one time per game.

ChrisBrownzeApr 21, 20192 votes

You just earned my one time per comment downvote

TerozuApr 21, 20192 votes

Why exactly?

The bug is his on encounter taunt. It can only occur once per game per character.

ChrisBrownzeApr 21, 20191 votes

Ya but your comment is very dismissive in nature. Basically saying that this bug isnt a big deal since it can only happen once, when in fact I, as well as the others who downvoted you, feel that it is a big deal and how many times it happens per game shouldnt even be brought up, it should just be fixed because it can be game altering and should never be allowed to happen, not even once.

TerozuApr 21, 20192 votes

My post isn't dismissive. The title originally contained a question mark and I was confirming the bug existed.

You don't speak for anyone else who downvoted me.

And your comment was literally solely dismissing my conmment as you are now admitting solely because you didn't like the tone which you invented in your head, or more likely you were projecting yourself on my comment.

So you're also a hypocrite.

Maybe just rewarding people who read their retconned lore LOl

KennekyApr 20, 20191 votes

Pyke have similar problem. He is one of the few champions that have ping related lines and allies can trigger them. I'm not sure If allies or enemies can hear them, but sure it's funny to hear "leaving you" even tho I'm not going anywhere.

EklispeApr 20, 20191 votes

Saw this happen with a Sylas saying his voice line when twitch walked into lane invisible.

Póppy ChuloApr 20, 20191 votes

That actually makes sense and its funny! I was playing vs ezreal mid and my jungler was going to gank from my side and hid behind the thin wall, and ez just said something about the jungle champ... I just concluded the minions that werent that near saw my jgler.

PąìnApr 21, 20191 votes

once I played katarina mid and I roamed toplane to help a teammate against akali, I was in a bush with control ward, then akali came close to the bush and I heard how she said "katarina, today you will bleed for ionia!" , cool bruh

I think RIOT fixed something similar to this in Rakan Rakan , when he would ward he used to tell everyone stuff like "VISION is the key to understanding" and you all knew that the bush had sight in it. I think the best fix to this would be to have EZ talk about a champ when he actually had vision of them.
