[GAMEPLAY] Annie Q Skill Bug

FarmVilles·11/14/2016, 8:19:57 PM·21 votes·2,113 views

Hi Riot-

I'm writing to inform you of an annoying Annie Q Skill bug. I've experienced this multiple times where it determined a victory vs. loss of crucial fights. Annie's Q DOES NOT TAKE EFFECT when Q is fired PRIOR to Annie's death.

For example, let's say I'm playing against Ezreal at mid. We both have 50hp and fires Q at each other. If I hit Ezreal first, he dies, but his Q hits me and kills me, leading to even trade. However, if his Q hits me first and kills me, my Q does NO DMG to ezreal, letting him live when he should really be dead.

Other times (...many times), I would be fighting 2v2 as mid + jgler vs. opponent mid/jg and die first while shooting my Q. In these cases, my Q, charged WITH STUN and fired BEFORE DEATH, would not do anything (neither stun or damage the intended target) leading to unfortunate 2v1 for my jungler. In many instances, the Q+STUN would've killed one and allowed my jungler to finish off the remaining one, giving us a lead.

This bug has significantly affected Annie's viability. I've been playing Annie since season 1, and have played nearly 8000 games of Annie. Besides the previous DE-BUFF (people may argue) on Annie's Tibbers, this bug is literally ruining some of the early/mid games.

Please look into this ASAP and take action as you deem appropriate. Thanks,

Hey guys - so we made a video.

I've tested this multiple times just now.

Here is the IMG. http://imgur.com/a/VIKtF:

Annie's Q (stun charged) is fired before Zil's bomb goes off to kill Annie. Q clearly hits Zil but DOES NOT STUN. (FYI, when your champ is stunned, a white 'stun time bar' should appear underneath HP bar to indicate the time remaining)

However, it DOES DMG in this circumstance.

I haven't been able to get the "NO DMG BUG" part reliably on the clip - it seems like doing NO DMG is not 100% but occurs at some unknown chance - perhaps something to do with enemy champ or terrain, not sure.

However, this stun bug happens 100% of the time when Annie's Q is charged with stun and fired at enemy PRIOR to death.

Hope it helps.

Sometimes peoples flames go out too early. Such is the case with harambe. 'Tis not a bug, my son.

From my point of view this has happened as well. I do not have 8k games as Annie but I have enough to know that if my Q is casted before I die it should still do damage to the enemy, as well as stunning them if it is charged.

I can't say I've ever experienced this.. but if a supposed bug invovles dying 'multiple times' during 'crucial fights' there might be a solution yet.

Proof or it didn't happen. Seriously. If the animation is cancelled the ability doesn't actually go through. I suspect that is what is happening.

maybe it's intended rather than a bug?? there are many other champions like that

IF this bug is legit then this could mean the difference between an even trade and the enemy getting ahead, which can affect the flow of the game. If we can see some footage (winky face) then it can help tell rito about this game-changing bug
