Sion Ability Bug - [Game Breaking]

Swaq Doge·12/27/2014, 7:18:47 AM·3 votes·4,632 views

While playing Sion on Summoner's Rift, I came across a game breaking bug. I was unable to use my Q ability or R ability. The game started out normal, and I was able to use all of my abilities until around the middle to the end of the game. I was unable to use my Q and R ability. I even clicked the abilities to try to use them. Despite being unable to use my Q and R ability, I was able to use my W and E abilities still.

I had this happen to me right after the new Sion came out. I did a "self cast" of the abilities and then they worked fine. Basically you hold down ALT and press the ability button/icon. Hope this helps!

Can you replicate this in a custom game? This is the first I've heard of this.

from what i remember when other champions had similar issues it was because of a champion on the other team.

so what other champions were in the game with you guys when it happened?

Luckily I was just in a bots game, but yeah my q on Vi refused to work sometime around 25 minutes and tried switching hotkeys which then made my w unusable which was the one I used for the 'q' ability. What I did later was put quick cast on, tried it, switched back to notmal cast and it was back to normal. I don't believe my method was surefire and bugs that appear mid game seems very flukelike (which might be hard to track in the code). Sorry if I can't replicate it. Only had Vi for FR

I had the same thing happen to me. I posted about it here also but this one was first. It just happened to me yesterday. Same thing. Not sure what triggered it (maybe a silence while channeling Q) but I lost the ability to Q and R completely. There is no response from the client whatsoever. The abilities aren't greyed out or anything, Q and R just go dead.

I've read a few of these threads, seems to be linked to Merc treads or enchanting mercs? I only played Sion a couple times but never built mercs.

I will try to replicate it, but thinking on it now someone mentioned mercury treads with enchantments might have something to do with it.. maybe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tRfDx0PgNho can any rioter confirm if this is a known bug?

This has happened to me as well. I am unsure as to what triggers this bug, but 20 minutes or so into a game the q and r will no longer activate his abilities, however, the keys still worked for typing and when dead, would give a the "Cannot use right now" notification

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but were you capable of using your Q and R ability, OP?
