I just played with the most broken champion today.

Rikari··46 votes·4,443 views

Went into the jungle,activated my Q,and to my surprise,it didn't knockup. Yes,XinZhao 's Q is broken as in pointless and his ultimate has a possibility to fail. I learned this today in a ranked game. If LeeSin failed to jump to just one ward,every server would be shut down until season 6 but no,let other junglers with some mobility perish, thats the plan eh riot?

You do realize even though his knockup doesn't animate it still fires off right? It just does a small stun right now.... its been reported several hundred times since the last patch.

This is an example of Riot failing the players. Lack of communication, absolutely NO notices, boards posts, or anything by Riot to solve the incident.

KaisadiIIa5 votes

RIOT has talked about it and have clearly stated that they will fix it next patch. They have told why.

GloriousKaiser6 votes

YET THE OP DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS.

I'll ask you not to justify their actions. What they did is wrong BECAUSE they don't alert the players. The lack of clarity tells us that Riot can't be trusted to let us know what's wrong with the game. No matter how little the bug, keeping the game at 100% is key.

Really, how is that the result of Riot and not OP just being obtuse?

And whiny.

GloriousKaiser4 votes

So you would be ok with finding Sona's passive suddenly didn't activate on champions in a ranked game? Only to find out that this problem has been prevalent for a week? And nobody had told you of this this whole time?

How is OP obtuse? He lost the ability to play his champion properly because of a bug, that he had no knowledge of knowing. Is it too hard for Riot to simply alert players on the client of a bug? Maybe even disable Xin Zhao for the duration of the current patch since they won't hotfix him?

My issue is with the following.

  • Communication: Riot DID NOT alert the playerbase on Xin Zhaos bugged Q
  • Problem Solving: Riot intends to let Xin Zhao stay the way he is because they feel the risk of hotfixing will cause more problems. Understandable. But why not disable him then? If Xin Zhao players can't properly use their main champion, why keep him active?

Why are you okay with this? Why are you okay with players not being alerted to these bugs?

Whiny? Talk about apathetic.

It's a visual bug, not a gameplay bug. It's basically now a stun (is it reduced by tenacity now?) instead of a knockup, dunno if Yas can still ult someone hit by Xin's 3rd Q.

Should they have made a note somewhere that there is a visual bug with Xin's Q? Yes. Is it actually affecting gameplay to the point where they need a hotfix that could potentially break something else? Nope.

IronChefBoyardee2 votes

No it is not currently reduced by tenacity

Dryditch1 votes

I wasn't aware that Jungle Mobs had 100% tenacity.

If this were visual, as so many of you morons on the boards seem to think, Xin would be ending first Jungle clear with blue buff and full health.

Instead, he has to recall after raptors, and doesn't get into the blue side of jungle until after his first buy.

Zenima1 votes

Hopped into a custom game to test it out throughly: you are correct in that it does not appear to be affecting jungle monsters; however you fail to notice that it still affects champions regardless. In all fairness, with a slight change to your jungle routing, be it going gromp-blue-red instead for the health boost or just backing after clearing one side of the jungle, (and a lot of champions tend to back after clearing the first 3 camps anyhow) it will barely be noticeable early on. Not to mention it will most likely be fixed in the patch coming Wednesday as well.

Dryditch1 votes

You have to have that knowledge before the game starts. Otherwise you're left wondering.

The knockup also doesn't apply all the time on champions, even if Yasuo can ult off of it. When a champion isn't moving, the knockup/stun do not apply.

Basically, all we're asking for is either something in the launcher or some kind of acknowlegement that this is a problem.

We all know that if Ahri's charm wasn't applying the charm debuff, or Lee Sin were unable to ward-hop, they'd be disabled, there would be messages everywhere in the launcher, and the hotfix would be out the next day.

Zenima1 votes

It does still apply on all the champions all the time, it's just that if they're not moving, there are no visual effects, so it's more like a stun than a knockup unless Yasuo can ult off it, in which case it is just a knockup without the animation. It's hard to notice because they're standing still already even if they are attacking you, but easier to notice if you use it on a channeled ability, a la Nunu ult, Kat ult, etc.

However, I do agree with you that Riot should have put something in the launcher. They have acknowledged it I believe, on the forums and maybe reddit, and it should theoretically be fixed tomorrow, but a note in the launcher that the visuals are broken and the knockup isn't working on monsters would've been a good idea.

Learn to read. Its a non-Tenacity reduced stun until they fix the graphical issue. Chill the hell out people and do a gosh darn google search before geting all QQey.

How many people use the boards, exactly? It really doesn't even matter, since it isn't everybody. There should be a notice on the launcher or something that EVERYONE can see, so they know xin is bugged.

GaleWinUnleashed4 votes

This Xin bug has been discussed thoroughly on the PBE boards. It's supposed to be fixed next patch, but isn't being hotfixed because of the risks associated with doing that (and also because Xin != Lee Sin, but they didn't actually say that).

Its the double standard, and it REALLY SUCKS. Its everywhere:

Barbie vs Heman toys.... Everyone is quiet about Heman, but parents and the corporation are arguing and talking about how she dresses and her frame.

Man vs Woman in.... Getting kicked in the genitals, more women would be angry about the woman getting kicked but the man receiving the treatment is somehow more acceptable.

This bug has been reported for a long while now, and is definitely not intended behavior. Riot still hasn't fixed it either.

Sir Yamazuki3 votes

It still knocks up, just not visually, Yasuo can still ult off of it.

Stop complaining about Lee Sin, he has a win rate of 46.7%, giving him the 15'th lowest win rate in game. Look at Lolking statistics and note that in the JG match-up chart he loses against every single jungler. Keeping all this in mind it it quite clear that Lee Sin being op is not a thing, the problem which you all are facing is that you suck, and are so bad at the game that you are letting a blind guy kick your a$$. Please stop spamming the boards with complaints about Lee sin and put your time to a better use by learning how to play the game. Thank you, Hell just got Raised . Talon

Niqqa you arent posting on enough Lee Donger threads.

You have missed quite a bit. Lee Donger is sad.

Hey, you could just post a bug report, like I did. They'll fix it if you report it as a bug.

Junkο1 votes

Riot is already aware of this bug, and they said it's nothing to major and Xin is still good without it so it won't be fixed till next patch.

JustMyBassCannon1 votes

Didn't say they'd hotfix it, just that they'd fix it.
