TFT Gamebreaking Bug: Unable to buy champions
I'm currently in a TFT match where nobody is able to buy champions. After the first round against minions, the shop simply didn't appear, for anybody. Nobody earned gold, nobody could buy champions, nobody was leveling up. After the first Carousel round, a shop window appeared, but it was blank, as pictured. This game has gone for 25 minutes so far and seems like it'll be going much longer. I have no idea how this happened, the shop simply never appeared.
There are loads of other bugs occurring as well. The scoreboard on the right isn't sorting. Players' champions are literally disappearing. One of my characters on the bench has a frozen heart (Lulu), which is slowing enemies who get near her on the bench (see final picture). Will update with additional details when/IF this game changes or ends.
Update 1: When a player hits 0 health, their little legend model disappears, their minimap picture becomes a white square, and the player restores to 100 health. They become a sort of "ghost" within the match. Playing against one of these ghosts is how champions are disappearing; however, when a champion "disappears", their synergies remain on the field. As of now, I don't know how this game will eventually end, as nobody seems to have died for real. Quitting only gives us the option to reconnect. Will update after all but 1 person has "died" and become a ghost player.
Update 2: Every match I fight now appears to be a draw, as nobody is able to deal damage. We're in round 9 at this point, and still going. My friend "died", and quit, and apparently is able to queue a fresh game, so that may be the only way out. It's ranked, however, and I'm curious to see how this ends, if ever.
Update 3: It seems like this literally won't end unless I quit. Every match is a draw, but nobody loses health anymore. Characters have stopped disappearing, so it seems like it may literally go on like this forever. I believe everybody else has either quit or simply AFK'd, but I'm sticking around to see how long this can go. Currently in stage 10-4, let's see how high we can get that.
Final Update: Everybody quit after 80 minutes, but I stayed for 2.5 hours. Final screenshot here:
Round 16-4, 35 loss-streak wince every round was a tie. I eventually had 2 champions out at level 1 due to the fact that my bench completely filled, and I couldn't sell any champions. The rounds reset around round 10, in a sense, as I fought "Krugs" again, which was a Rift Herald, followed by Murk Wolves, etc. The carousel options reset as well; I was being offered a Kassadin with a Needlessly Large Rod in round 14 when previously every selection was tier 2 or higher, and equipped with full items. After I quit, the game was completely nulled, no lp change, not recorded among my placements. Definitely a weird game.
