I've seen a bug lately where if you weren't looking when a tower or champion is damaged, the next time you look at them the health bar will try and "catch up". This results in a moment of panic as your teammate or your tower drops a massive amount of health, making you think they're doomed and you should run away, when in reality you could help.
Leafie45 votesYeah this can be incredibly deceiving. It's happened in every game I've been in too.
EMOFRATPARTY3 votesI think Ahab acknowledged this bug in one of the megathreads. Riot added it to their priority list, from what I recall of the post.
D8zq2hRox94 votesI assume the community and dominion are both missing in that list.
lLxB99ekdT19 votesIf a tower falls in the woods and no ones there to see it.. does it really take damage?
kitcat3003 votesnice
VietEggrolls1 votesIf no one saw my opponent leave the lane did my opponent really leave the lane?
it didn't work...
Junkο10 votesSame thing happens with Dragon, Baron and turrets. "Man that Jax splitpush is so op he just dealt 99% of the turrets health!"
Tiropat2 votesthis has been in the game forever(towers not updating till you put them on screen) it just didn't have the hp drop animation. Previously if there was a jax splitpushing and you hover over your tower on the mini map it would say full hp until it was destroyed or you moved the camera to see it.
RenegadeBiscuitz7 votesI thought it was a new thing they implemented. either way it sucks and I dont like it.

SecretAgentHulk2 votesIt is unclear whether an enemy champion has received a massive damage spike (which is what it looks like) or if they've done this damage to tower/ally in the fifteen seconds you weren't looking at their area of the screen (which is what it usually is). You should be able to watch a specific area at any time and never see anything other than real-time chunking, not aggregate since last look.
HouseFTW7 votesRiot has REALLLY been dropping the ball latley....
Altonia18 votesNo: Riot has basically released a new expansion and has been working actively to fix bugs that will most definitely come out with any patch as big as this one. The patch notes literally took 63 "page down"s for me. Riot's doing work, and the new patch has been (in my own opinion) extremely fun.
The5lacker1 votesIt's called "Open Beta" for a reason jackass.
junglerboy164 votesYeah, I noticed this, a Teemo was attacking our top tower which had been full hp, and then all the sudden it had 5% hp left as the rest turned red and drained away. Nobody on my team had any time to react because the whole time we were thinking that it would be fine and survive while we fought mid. It is a really annoying bug. This happened a couple other times during the game, but that was the worst one.
SecretAgentHulk3 votesWhen jungling, or just looking to gank in general, this is especially annoying, as I can't constantly be monitoring the health bars of all turrets and champions.
gl0stick1 votesWhile I agree it's an issue, as a jungler you should look at every lane at least once every 20 s. Additionally you can see the health bars on the left hand side of the screen so it's really not that big of an issue if you use the HUD optimally.
Again, I agree the health bars rapidly dropping is annoying but it is almost a non-issue.
The5lacker3 votesI thought I was just dealing is a ludicrously badass melee minion earlier today.
Junkο2 votesThis is annoying me so much
Stephenizgod1 votesOMG YES! I have been in so many situations where i scroll to look at my ally and just see them lose a huge chunk of their life and im like "Oh hell naw!" while i run away, then i look and see it was just that stupid glitch. Turns out i could have helped them and it makes me feel like a crappy teammate...
Malgana1 votesDoes the same thing to Dragon and Baron too, makes it harder for smite wars.
Avious1 votesThis is indeed annoying, but I wouldn't say I panic every time or anything. I kinda like watching the new, slow moving tower health bars melt slooowly :p
Jimmyyy1 votesCome on rito this is important. @Riot fix it broskis and lady-skis
YoungFarmer1 votesI haven't seen this happen :/
Stompburger1 votesIs this intentional maybe?
kitcat3002 votesIf it is, its a bad one. It creates to much confusion. It is weird to see a tower drop from full to practically dead just because I haven't looked at it in a while.
EverTokki1 votesIkr. I usually lock my screen and once I check other people.. They have full health one moment and like 1/4 in a second.
Wînter Fox1 votesYup, this definitely needs to be fixed
Starrow1 votesI have seen this in every game too.
Malecasta1 votesThis has been happening to me too.
DarkLiquidDeath1 votesI've had this happen a lot, I would have saved one of my allies once normally, but I couldn't tell what their health was and they died before I realized I needed to be there.
MakersF1 votesSo that's why my ADC lost 90% of his health in a split second and I was ready to flash away from the monster that was able to do that!
Warrior of Ionia1 votesone time I zoomed over to the bot inhib tower when a siege minion was there and it chunker about 75% of the hp from this glitch and I was like "HOLY SHIT THAT CADDY IS STRONG, NERF THAT SHIT"
TSM Kaiju1 votesI as well have noticed this, but I have confidence that Riot will fix this soon
FiniteApple1 votesYea.This scared me. Alot. 
Tiropat1 votesthis has been in the game forever(towers not updating till you put them on screen) it just didn't have the hp drop animation.

Trolllolololb1 votesi love it
UnSeenDeath881 votesI've seen this also, the first couple times it made me say WTF, as I watch a teammate drop from 100-20% like they almost got 1 shotted.
Orgon1 votesLOL! i saw that
