[Gameplay]Invisibilty glitches everywhere!! Food for thought.

tl;dr I think brush might be the source of the invisibility glitches. Either being stuck/flipping stealth check information on skills/players.

So I was in another thread about Nid's invisible Q recollecting an invisible Mundo Q game when I remembered another stealth related incident between me and a Nunu I was running from and got me thinking. Maybe its the brush thats the problem. Or even just stealth check information in general. Considering how often we all run through brush, attack from the edge of brush, or simply pop in and out of it theres loads of opportunity to break the system. I mean who doesn't take advantage of brush to inivisi'shot someone while in the brush and often move and fire right on the brush boarder? Firing a skillshot while in the middle of exiting a brush may very well cause the skill's stealth tag to flip/stick. Might be as simple as riot needing to add an extra line of code that flatout clears stealth flags on stuff when exiting brush/otherformsofstealth to clean anything that might get stuck.

Anyways here's that post for a little extra detail:- "Invisible projectiles everywhere!! Happens a lot with Mundo's Q. Read in another thread, Riot is aware of the invisible projectile bugs and cant figure it out.

Wish they would because the whole point of a skill shot is to give people a chance to dodge them. Cant dodge what you should be able to see.

Part of me thinks the brush has something to do with it because I get all kinds of weird bugs with being unable to see people for flickering moments. One time I was fleeing a Nunu and he was chasing me through some brush. Just before I exited he vanished for 1 second even thought I was still in the brush and still faded myself. When I finished stepping outside and became visible so did Nunu for about 1 second even though I should not have been able to see him, who was still in the brush, hot on my tail. (Long story short I died, QQ)

Something tells me projectiles stealth checks are getting confused in a similar manner but are becoming stuck and/or flipped because I've seen things come out of the brush I shouldnt be able to too.

Might start a thread with this post in the faint hope a Riot employee looks at it and turns out I'm right."

I think it might come from the map not being flat. the river is lower than the lanes/jungle so projectiles fly through the terrain rather than over it.
