Loading screen displaying PROJECT : Jhin's splash art with its border....that I don't own.

Greetings everyone,

Today I encountered a pretty special bug.

When I launched a Practice Tool game with PROJECT : Jhin, the loading screen displayed the image below :

( the loading screen itself was normal )

I do not own PROJECT : Jhin's border, ( I'd love to though ) so why is it displayed on the login screen?

I've never had anything like this happen before.

Just to make sure it only affects this skin's set, I locked in Miss Fortune with the Gun Goddess skin : no border. PROJECT : Vayne? No border either.

Has anyone encountered such a thing? I mean, I'm all for keeping it, but it's weird.

I closed League of Legends and launched it again : the border is still there. I've even done a Full Repair.

Nope, still there. I rebooted my PC. You guessed it, it's still there.

Perhaps my whole profile has too much Jhin in it... ( though to reach perfection, I should have only 4's in it. )

  • PROJECT : Jhin splash art
  • PROJECT : Jhin icon
  • Mastery 6 Jhin ( It's not 4, but I was ( still am ) so goddamn happy to have reached it )
  • Honor 4
  • 4 chests available
  • Level 64 ( there's a 4 in it. That's what matters. )
  • 62 Mastery Score : 6 - 2 = 4 ( I'm going a bit far with this one, but hey, whatever works, right? )

I went off topic for a bit, my apologies.

My premade KagureNai, who also has PROJECT : Jhin, tried it too : they had no border.

I'd also like to say that I didn't check if the border was still there in Ranked on in Normals since I'm having a bit of an issue with my ping since yesterday. ( I don't wanna possibly have a bad game because of lagging spikes + ruin the games for others just to see if an innocent bug is still there )

I may update this thread if anything new comes by.

#UPDATE

I think I finally know how the bug works.

I just tried something : Selected the PROJECT : Vayne icon as my Summoner Icon, then locked in PROJECT : Vayne in Practice Tool.

It seems that on the PROJECT : HUNTERS skins, if you have the icon of one of the three PROJECT : HUNTERS skins on AND you pick the skin that goes with it, you'll get a border.

If we resume :

  • To get the PROJECT : Jhin border, you must have the PROJECT : Jhin icon and PROJECT : Jhin's skin on.
  • To get the PROJECT : Vayne border, you must have the PROJECT : Vayne icon and PROJECT : Vayne's skin on.
  • To get the PROJECT : Vi border, you must have the PROJECT : Vi icon and PROJECT : Vi's skin on.

I didn't try with Vi since I neither own the skin nor the Champion, but I am pretty sure it will work.

My premade tried locking in PROJECT : Zed with the PROJECT : Zed icon, and it didn't work. Seems like only the PROJECT : HUNTERS skins are affected by this bug.


I'd also like to add, as someone in the comments mentionned it :

##If you do not have the PROJECT icon on ( Jhin, Vayne, Vi ), your border won't appear on the login screen, even if you own it.


Jhin "The composition needs something."

Hello,

Did you manage to find out what the issue was? I do own the border and mine doesn't show up, even after logging out and back in a few times.

Had the same happen to me. Maybe it has something to do with the Project:JHIN Icon that I'm using too.

As a faithful Jhin main, I bought the Project skin during the event and grinded the fck out of these event points to get all 3 borders and the special icon. Even with this special Icon the border won't show. This is ridiculous, we need to show those heretics the true beauty of Project: Jhin with the project border showing the lvl 7 symbol and the lvl 5 honor flair. nice pics here
