Jhin W exploit

I just finished a game where the Jhin openly admitted to exploiting to win. How is this still possible? I don't want to start a witch-hunt for this one guy, but I just want Riot to know that this is still an issue. I don't know what they can do about it, but it's a problem. I don't know how often this occurs, this is the first time its happened to me.

Below is the clip of the moment we all got hit. You can see that Nami, Twitch, Udyr, and TF all stop (Vlad keeps going for a bit). Again, I don't want a witch-hunt, this is just evidence. If you look at the scoreboard and then the 'objective-tracker 3000' at the bottom you can see that we had been winning up until then. Then we all crash and they take over.

I don't know how to find chat logs, but if someone knows how to access them the Jhin openly claims that he is going to do this at the start of the game, then brags about it after we reconnect.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope this issue gets addressed, as it really ruined my day.

This bug has been documented and has been in place for a while, I'm fairly sure that riot just haven't done anything about it. Possibly because of the new Jhin skin and not wanting to disrupt sales. All we can do for now is wait for a rioter to respond, from what I understand this has been exploited intentionally in higher elo games in order to win games. Just report them for cheating and hope they get banned, and wait for a bug fix to go through.

How is it cheating if it's Rito's fault the bug exists? The players are just using it to their advantage. That's like if there was a super good item in the game; would you accuse someone of cheating for buying it and using it?

The difference between this and an item that someone can buy is that an item that someone can buy is what riot intended to be in the game, while this isn't supposed to be, hence why its called a "bug". If this was an intentional part of the game then Jhin would be permabanned every game regardless of his strength.

chances are he was just joking.

I don't see any exploiting.

I found a different video where the same thing happened.

Wait, that's crazy.

Exploits like this are so rare, so this is actually really interesting.

Upvoted for visibility, good luck! [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Submit a ticket to Riot support. They can access pre and post game chat logs. Hope it wasn't a ranked game.
