Riot, Please hire ElatedBlowfish

You've highlighted one of his videos before. He has the amazing patience necessary to really find out each and every bug/exploit. Just watch his videos! Please put him on the Riot team. He absolutely deserves it.

He also has an eye condition that forces him to pretty much stay indoors on his computer all day. His eyes don't secrete enough oil to keep themselves moist so the slightest wind causes him a lot of pain. I don't know what he does for a living, but being a bug tester at Riot would be perfect for him! It would allow him to stay inside like he needs to and still make a living!

Patient and diligent people are good to have for finding and fixing bugs. Kudos to him for finding these issues.

But why post them publicly? (isn't there an option for only certain people to view the videos on certain sites) Are they being reported to Riot or does Riot already know about them? Couldn't these public videos be used by other gamers to exploit the game until the issues are fixed?

The best way to force the issue is for it to become common. And also, as Viva la me said, that the person disconnecting constantly will most likely get flagged by leaver buster, making this bug a quirky interaction with the DC mechanics, but unless you are willing to get abandons on your account, it's unusable.

If it's public domain, Riot HAS to fix them. If it's kept a secret, the bug can get lost. Publicly displaying bugs/glitches is by far the best way to get something fixed, especially since ticket response time is still pretty damn slow from Riot. It's not bad for the size of their company, don't get me wrong, but a bug like this should be addressed asap. Hopefully Riot scales it the same way, but removes the armor/mr bonus from dc'ing haha.

I'm 100% sure doing this is probably bannable.

It would be bug exploitation i'm sure.

He said like 10 times in the video that it was a premade...

gubigubiJan 18, 20151 votes

No he said it wasn't a full premade and riot banned people before for trying stuff out in a custom game by them self he was in a game against other players that didn't even know what he was doing. That was under different circumstances when those people got banned but it was to my knowledge that you arnt suppose to abuse any bugs or glitches at all in league.

it was a normal game in which he lost because it's a highly impractical glitch/bug ... and yes it wasnt a full premade, but who cares did you see how bad they were losing .. . and to use this glitch you have to make it a 4v5 ... its kind of a lame glitch that they were doing just for fun and by making the video on it, riot becomes aware and fixes ...

Losing the game doesn't justify using the exploits in a live game. Its just wasting every ones time that was not in on it.

sftyfrstbssrckrJan 19, 20151 votes

it was normals ... all normal games are pretty much a waste ... oh no they still got ip for playing

Doing this in anything but a custom match has lead to perma bans in the past... The only time Riot has ever reversed a ban for an exploit/bug being used is in custom matches. There is no excuse, 4v5 doesn't justify it and this is how Riot will certainly see the issue. The exploit you are referring too, btw, is not impractical by any means. Next time, assuming the player doesn't get banned (if lucky) they should do it in a custom match only.

it is quite impractical, it's an incredibly risky glitch, while it does great turret damage it has little to no other utility ... but if you want to whine about a glitch that is already being fixed then effing whatever ... no need to be so uptight, seriously way too uptight

If you were to have been around for the time in beta when Twitch could outrange towers and just afk farm towers the entire game giving an easy win then you would know its extremely abusable. It can be used on every tower very easily and there are ways to particularly abuse it with team coordination.

no ive been around, have a pbe account and sure it can be annoying ... i understand the glitch in its entirety ... but as far as i'm concerned it's not affecting ranked play, it's already being worked on a lot better/quicker than the damned jax/zhonyas/attack speed glitch ... as far as im concerned this can be countered with proper coordination, it's all dependent on both teams playing the game, as is the outcome of every game

This can be countered as well as split pushing of which is a completely viable strategy thus it clearly would impact ranked if abused. Luckily, they disabled the item. Sadly, it should not have happened in the first place as it is a mere oversight. Further, this should have been fixed already as the fix takes seconds to add in once the location in the code is reached so that the effect is not applied to the portal or the portal is deleted/set to 0 stats (etc.) upon player's d/c. Kinda lame this hasn't been fixed and portal made available again, particularly since it is a completely new item that players would like to use and there is no excuse for the wait since it is such a quick and easy fix.

Why would they put him on the pay role when he is currently doing it for free?

You do realize Riot mostly only cares about money why else would they not

Balance all champions equally?
Not nerf Lee Sin.
Not always make Icons purchasable by IP.
Have a "sale" every week.

This isn't a bug but something they overlooked in the design and didn't code to program against. Not hard to find a lot of bugs considering the number this game has. I have at least 40 videos from my past 50~70 games of various bugs and that is after deleting the vast majority of videos for space (basically 1+ bug per game). Riot has terrible bad programmers unfortunately and clearly has no intention of doing anything about them years later.

I strongly agree with others that making major bugs commonly known is by far the best way to get things fixed otherwise Riot won't properly fix it in a reasonable period. They have been known to take 2-4 years to fix extremely well known detailed bugs (Nid/Shaco for example). Better to ruin a couple of games for a few days due to sharing the info then to let it silently ruin countless ranked matches for a year or two or even months like certain past exploits Riot refused to believe for months on end.

He would be a perfect canidate, if only he didn't use these bug exploits in game defying the summoner code and creating unfair scenario. And then after that, tell US to do it on our own!

it was a normal game that he lost ... and being in a 4v5 with the dc that it takes its totally fair
