Teemo has been offline for over 72 hours now... Wtf is going on? Programming and bug fixes this simple do NOT take this long.

It is also a weekend, where fewer people are likely in the office.

Because they can just wave their magic wand and the bug will go away, right?

when its a bug simple as this, yes it is a simple fix.

How do you know it's simple? The fact it showed up after a patch that didn't directly touch teemo makes it seem more likely that theres some weird dark magic going on triggering the bug, rather than a "oops we changed trigger_if_in_combat=1 to trigger_if_in_combat=0 in teemos code, 5 second fix sorry about that".

And I mean, that it's been a few days kinda suggests that it isn't simple.

(Theres also the possibility that it's the sort of thing that needs the servers to briefly go down instead of being hotfixable, so they try not to do that unless it's absolutely necessary, and when it is they'll try to squeeze in any other important bugfixes at the same time so a non-teemo related bug may also be holding things up.)
