[Gameplay] Can't taunt Lee Sin consistently

seriousLP·Dec 20, 2015·37 votes·2,761 views

You can still not taunt Lee Sin. Bug exists since 2011-04-01 (release of Lee Sin).

Exact bug description: A lot of the time that a champ like Rammus, Shen or Galio uses his taunt on an opposing Lee Sin, it just does nothing. The "taunted" particles show up above Lee, but he is still able to move freely instead of being taunted and forced to perform auto attacks or AT LEAST complete his last movement input (like walking straight away).

Recreatability: High. Works (or better: does not work) in at least one out of ten times.

Example video (YouTube): www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA2h8HxaYzs (first few seconds of the video matter)

Please fix, this bug is almost 5 years old and still happening in patch 5.24!

From my personal experience I'd say it happens even more often than one out of ten times.

~~Bump~~ for being a serious gameplay issue!

Happened every single taunt that I landed on the slippery monk that game so prob 8/8-10/10? sounds like it always happens....

Although tbh it was fine in another game... I could taunt Lee but if it was in terms of 1/10 when you land the ability it would still not be fine. Any abilities like a taunt that's save your carry and wins you the team fight can mean game! Why should you chances be diminished and the Lee's increased?

That is not a bug. Unfortunately you just got outplayed. - Riot

N00b ass, you got rekt. Git gud scrub. - Lee Sin mains

Pretty much how i see the reaction from both of those groups.

I thought my past Shen plays weren't just me "ur bad, plz uninstall"-worthy!

So many lost games because we'd have otherwise been able to lock down Lee Sin so many times it wasn't even close to being funny.

But it's Lee Sin, the poster child of Riot. I bet when the servers are finally shut down when League is done it's lifespan (in however many years that may be, sure as heck isn't dying anytime soon), this will PROBABLY still be bugged.

Yea, it's a real bummer how this can change whole game situations. How often have I tried to taunt Lee under my turret, just to see him walk out casually... :/ It's especially sad that Rammus can't do that, since he is supposed to be a Lee Sin counter.

this has happened to me also. hit the tuant, went on CD, he turned for maybe .1 seconds and taunt wore off. he didtn have cleanse, nobody had mikaels, no qss. etc. it was a straight up bug. its not the old lee/jax bug where if they jumped to something at nearly teh same time taunt wouldnt work. he was just running away. i tuanted, and he kept on going. only person champ ive seen it happen to was lee.

Bu-but...That would involve nerfing Lee Sin! Foxderp's main and #LC$B!GPL@IZ jungler!

Oh wait he's been a god-tier jungler for...How many patches now? 50? 100? 200? And any time any champ even REMOTELY encroaches on his territory, Rito swings that nerf bat harder than they've ever swung it. Remember the "Tank Meta" when Sejuani was actually viable once? "NERF THOSE FUCKERS, THEY DONT MAKE BIG PLAYS." Oh wait, Sejuani can stun 5 people and single-handedly win a teamfight. "SCREW IT THAT'S NOW TOXIC EVEN THOUGH EKKO'S STUN IS STRONGER."

JayrassicDec 21, 20151 votes

im still **Insanely ** salty over the Sejuani Nerfs... they were Hugely uncalled for. she became top Teir cause of the new introduction of Cinderhulk... and they punish the champion for it?... now cinder hulk is nerfed from its former glory and that puts Sejuani and a few other Junglers who were hit with the same stick at sub-par status... YOU CANT "RE-BALANCE" A CHAMPION TO FIT A NEW ITEM. AND THEN FOLLOW UP BY NERFING SAID ITEM AND LEAVING THE CHAMPION IN THE DIRT

Yep happened to me too a few weeks ago.

It was not OK.

Mestm97Dec 21, 20151 votes

I think it was just my imagination, its problematic because lee is in a lot of games these days.

GavranDec 21, 20151 votes

This sounds quite serious, but I cannot recall ever experiencing it as someone that enjoys Shen as well as Rammus sometimes. I suggest going into a custom game and trying to reproduce it there*, as well as getting much more recent proof. We've all seen some very odd bugs in videos before but most of them don't happen often at all. I mean no disrespect at all, but "yep this happened to me too" isn't very useful as a bug report (not useless, just not super useful.)

Bottom line here, is that if you can show this happens in Live and can figure out how to reproduce it, I guarantee you Riot will get on fixing it because (assuming it still exists) it is easily a class A.

*If you add me in game and catch me at the right time, I'd help out.

Unfortunately I got no recording tool and a quite old PC, but this bug is fairly easy to reproduce by just taunting Lee over and over (last time I tried to chase down the bug I used Rammus for that). It happens very frequently in patch 5.24, so you don't have to try for very long.

You're playing on NA, where my ping is way too high for testing purposes.

GavranDec 23, 20151 votes

Oh, so I am, I didn't notice you weren't. Well I'll keep an eye open to see if any friends feel like trying it, if it can be reproduced even once in like 15 minutes that's time well spent really. I remember Kalista had a weird thing with ignoring CC, wonder if it's related. And thanks for the tip about him being stationary too. Did you ever try without him casting any abilities at all? If it worked when he was just walking but only for him that would be very odd...

Another bump.

I have had that bug occur many times in a game I play yesterday.

I was Shen and I would land my taunt however lee sin seemed unaffected by it. The Taunt symbol was above his head but he was free to move and cast what he wanted.

Please Fix Shen

Bumping even more because it's still not fixed in patch 6.3. Either there was simply no Riot employee so far who stumbled over this thread or they actually don't realize how big of a deal and how game changing this bug is.

Sirius GGFeb 10, 20161 votes

We finally figured it out: Lee Sin can use W - Safeguard on an out of range ally/minion/ward to 100% consistently walk towards that position and escape the taunt. Since this is something Lee Sin can control and not something that happens randomly (as suspected) this will happen 10/10 times if a enemy Lee Sin knows about how this bug works. Some people will abuse this bug very consistently, to effectively never get taunted again as Lee. We need a fix.
