[Gameplay] Orianna ball is all sorts of messed up

I stopped playing ori for a while but after picking her back up for the past week or so her ball has been behaving quite strangely in all 3 games I played.

It seems like when someone dies with e on the way to them the ball turns invisible until I die and a fake indicator is made pointing towards where the person died. The ball returns when I die but the fake indicator stays on screen and can stack leading to instances where I end up with 4 ball indicators and an invisible ball so I do not know where it actually is. I also experienced one instance of a fake ball showing up on the ground while the actual ball was invisible, though that was only once on a custom aram game and I do not know what caused it.

The replay of the aram game doesn't show ori's indicator problem or the ball disappearing so I could't grab a screenshot and I am hesitant to use her again as not being able to see where the ball is makes it very frustrating to play ori. As I said though I have had this happen in all 3 games I have played as ori in the past week so it should not be hard to replicate.

I had this exact thing happen to me. My last two Ori games, I had a Red indicator constantly....it appeared as if it was pointed to thier Nexus\Fountain. I also had the standard Ori indicator. It did cause me to play more caustious and be more concerned with my ranges.

This is definitely annoying and I only noticed it after last patch.

I pretty much only play Ori when i go Mid in ranked so hopefully this is looked at.

Bump, would like some feedback if someone could just confirm that it will be put on a list of things to look at considering the ball turning invisible basically breaks orianna.

Yeah, as far as I know it happens if your ball is attached to someone while they die. In some cases on rift, it will temporarily happen if you "e" a champion as they recall. This can apparently happens on all of ori's skins. Just sit tight, it'll probably take a while to patch because 1) it's not game breaking, and thus low priority, 2) champion entities are probably complex, 3) spaghetti. Just look at all the issues with azir's soldiers and syndra's balls, and be glad it's not a problem that directly affects the orianna's interaction with the game environment.

Some of my pics: https://i.imgur.com/eEyBKPt.png https://i.imgur.com/XlNvNio.png for easy screenshots change to windowed mode and "prt sc" or whatever on a mac. (just be sure you're safe in the match ;D )

Riot is aware of the issue: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/mEihzFyO-gameplay-orianna-second-non-functioning-ball-indicator http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/aUAF04pA-orianna-disappearing-ball http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/Ar73FTtH-invisible-ball-when-on-orianna-extra-range-indicator (and probably more)

Thanks for the response, in 2 out of 3 the ball invisibility lasted until I died and wasn't with the ball just on me. You can see the animation for the spells but the ball itself is gone which is pretty game breaking for ori when I have 2-3 indicators and an invisible ball that could be leashed or still on malph for initiation and I won't know unless I use a spell or figure out which indicator is real. Either way it seems like riot knows at least which is nice, i was actually in a game with a rioter for one and and mentioned that I couldn't see anything but he wasn't a super talkative type so I figured I'd post it up here to be safe xD
