[GAMEPLAY] Potentially Harmful Rengar Bug

GG No Ahri··1 votes·2,934 views

Unfortunately, I do not have gameplay, and do not know how to replicate. However, I was playing a game as Rengar and as I was using an ability I noticed my abilities were empowered with only 3 stacks. Soon enough I realised I could infinitely spam all of my abilities. All of which were empowered and had no cooldown. The stacks increased but I never lost my empowered. It is unknown that if I had died would I have lost the empowered; we lost shortly after, before I could test. I hope that this cannot be easily replicated, as this could cause some serious grief. It may have something to do with being CC'd while having 5 stacks, as I was ulted by Warwick moments before (I was half-way through an empowered Q leap, when I was suppressed).

EDIT: Was able to accidentally do it again in Customs. Still not sure on the cause. This time around, I ulted and killed the Ashe with the standard combo (Empowered Q, E, W, Q) then I attacked the Kog'Maw. He chased me into a bush and I Q leaped onto him (0 Stacks), immediately after I had 1 stack and was empowered, again able to infinitely spam my abilities. However, this time as I reached 5 stacks and used the 5th it reset and was no longer able to spam. Even if it does wear off, this still allowed several empowered attacks leading up to the actual empowered strike.

Would you happen to have a video of this event? Just seeing this happen in a video is extremely useful for triage purposes.

Do you care to check this out and explain what's causing this? It's been bugged since Patch 5.9, and its 100% reproducible. The writeup helps explain what's going on:

I'll look at it, but why not make a post about that instead of replying to this rengar problem?

With the amount of threads there are, it's hard to get seen, i.e. many months since Patch 5.9. You're the first red that actually has acknowledged and thank you very much for looking into it.

God bless you.

Riot Kateykhaos and I spend a significant amount of time reading the bug report forum. We usually see most of it, unless if the report is highly cryptic, we usually do something with it, even if we don't respond. Q_Q

There was a time a red actually RESPONDED to a bug report, and then proceeded to forget about it for months, and then came back months later all like "my bad" (and it was a pretty serious bug).

So Riot doesn't really have the players trust in that respect.

That being said, Eve has a pretty game-breaking bug right now when there;s a Braum in the game, so I'm just gonna throw this here, since no one seems to care about Eve.

No problem. If you have any updates/explanations or need help clarifying the issue, you can respond to the link I have provided and I would be glad to help.

Can you please look at the Evelynn/Braum bug thread too? It's been around for months but there is finally a video of it happening and I think we can reproduce it consistently. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/u1cdBiR5-evelynn-q-with-7-seconds-cooldown-shown-in-video

I'll see if I can do it again. So far, I have been able to do it both times out of both attempts. Though still unsure on the exact cause, or the necessary steps to replicate it 100% at will.

A similar bug happened on the pbe 23 days ago, IDK if it's related or not but it was supposedly fixed. http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bugs/qA8rbniZ-strange-rengar-bug

I had this bug occur to me on the pbe. I didn't report it but the way it occur'd was that i used my empowered w and then spammed q and e. This made it to where I could have 5 empowered spells then it wore off. I was able to replicate it but rarely.

If you want you can sign up for replay.gg it will record most of your games for you so if this happens again you will have a copy.

Try to replicate the results again and record it through replay.gg or op.gg.

I love how your name is "Never In Alpha" with a project Yi icon yet you make a thread about a rengar bug. Not that riot shouldn't already know about all of Yi's bugs and just don't care/can't be asked to fix them when they don't know what causes them.
