This hilarious Sett bug is breaking the game

Dear Rito

With the release of SettSett , a new gamebreaking bug has arisen (watch video for short explanation). Esentially, the bug can happen if you're playing a blind pick game, with a SettSett on both teams, aswell as a SylasSylas on one of the teams. Sylas will then steal enemy Sett's ultimate, and Sylas and his allied Sett can then proceed to ult the same target at the exact same time, which triggers a bug that will make the ulted target stick to either Sylas or Sett (whoever ulted first). You can then procced to do this to every champion on the enemy team, making them stick to your model. No matter what happens, they cannot be removed from their new "host". Even if the "host" dies, they will teleport to his spawning location, and proceed to all be beamed down by the fountain tower. If the "parasite" champion dies, it will respawn at the "host's" current location. This bug is the definition of gamebreaking, since it can easily lead to your entire team being oneshot on respawn. Take a look at the video and see for yourself (the "parasite" champions will always stick to the "host", even while being dead they will follow him in a t-pose position stuck to the "host's" model)

Still, theres a pretty large amount of people playing blind, especially on new champ release

Speaking as a person who solely plays blind pick as people in ranked who take the game to serious, this sounds absolutely hilarious

Sylas is Riot's way of ensuring that LoL always has bugs.

It's not a bug.

Sylas and Sett just weren't done beating them up.

Hey, i can confirm this bug! The exact same situation has happened in my last game. After the described way, that the bug happens, i was bind to sylas and i everytime spawned in him and cant moved away from him. Really annoying.

Just happened to me. Had to look it up. Didn't let me play the game any more because the just stood in his base...

Imagine this being a feature on a future champion

I.... didnt have this problem at all a few games ago. And Sett and Sylas were comboing together.

At the exact same time on the same enemy?

Terozu1 votes

Several times yes.

Maybe there's another trigger that's common enough you didn't realize? Or maybe my game was just a fluke. There are hundreds of different variables here and God knows what could've caused it to happen or not happen.

As you can see we did it to all 5 enemys, and it worked every single time, so i dont know what you did differently that might have affected it

This video proves once more that Riot does not playtest a lot if at all.

Why even put forth an hour of effort to even test edge cases eh? No thanks, they've got skins to make.

No, it doesnt. At all. It takes only 30 minutes of live server playtime to get years worth of data compared to internal testing could ever produce. You cant test for every possible situation ever unless you dedicate all your resources to do that one exact thing, which is something only government militaries do.

So you say no it doesnt while literally giving an argument that would explain why they do no playtesting.

You didn't much think your response through did you?

Thats.... not at all what it says. They do plenty of playtesting, hell, thats what the PBE is for. You just physically cannot get the same data in years worth of playtesting that you get in 30 minutes of live gameplay. LoLs playerbase is the size of literal countries, theyll break the game faster than the devs could, especially extremely niche setups like double sett blindpick + sylas ult same target.

False. They do not playtest. PBE is for other players to playtest for them but Ript doesnt listen to their players so the received feedback gets largely if not entirely ignored, making its existence useless.
