Something strange happened. We were losing but made a comeback and aced them. Took down inhib then right tower then left tower. Couldn't hit the Nexus.... So we went back to check on inhib as they were spawning but it was still down. Then w... My firefox and league just simultaneously crashed. But I'll continue. We couldn't finish because there was no tower we could hit nor the nexus and then they respawned and aced us cause we were super low. I thought I was stoned or something but then our Jax started losing his shit in allchat demanding to know who's hacking so It wasn't just me. Heres teh crash: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/392432051271368724/521514567847641089/unknown.png Here's some screenshots from the post game chat: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/392432051271368724/521512563314524160/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/392432051271368724/521512501536620585/unknown.png

I'm downloading the replay now and seeing what it thinks. EDIT: I saw the replay and its exactly what I thought. I;m gonna upload it to youtube and link it soon. Basically we took the right turret but apparently didn't finish the left one. we were both desynched at the perfect time to save them... Then we stood around nexus doing nothing because there was no turret or nexus to hit. WTF?

Their mid inhib respawned after you took the first nexus turret (it's starting its respawn animation in the beginning of your video, in fact, and you can see it spawns on the minimap the moment the "bug/hack" occurs)... you can't target nexus turrets without an inhib. This isn't a bug just unlucky lol.

Had this happen plenty of times, turret gets low with an inhib respawning and it feels like it went down because it became untargetable, and people click around confused for a couple seconds until their brains come back online.

this does not look like a hack at all. it certainly look like the game had a major issue. either a error that went live with a patch or something idk. that a pretty big bug though

Their inhib respawned.

Sounds more like server issues than hacking, but do post that replay. Either way riot should know about it.

Inhib respawned at the worst time, not a hack. However, it is a troll by the game.

For the umpteenth time. I have stated in one of my first posts that I don't believe it's a hack.. This is really characteristic of the league community. The point is my entire team saw the turret go down. We literally saw no turret. Jax had to flash out of the turret once he realized something somehow was killing him and the first thing he said after we died was something along the lines of "HOW IS THE DEAD TOWER STILL FIRING" there was no tower for us. When the inhib respawned, we killed the tower. Like it crumbled away and there was just the base. Our team only realized there was still a tower after we were all dead. I know you can't attack nexus towers with an inhib up? Do you all lack comprehension skills? The point is that for my entire team, that tower was dead.

You're one dense person. The Inhib wasn't magically respawned by hax. You can even see the "inhib is respawning soon" message in chat while you fight near elder. The inhib spawned as you were hitting the second tower. Nothing weird happened in your game at all.

Mate? Nothing weird with a tower dying for only one team?

While certain forms of hacking do, and always will, exist... this isn't an instance of it.

this wasn't a hack at all, while you were attacking the second nexus turret the enemy inhibitor respawned. you cant attack a nexus turret without destroying an inhibitor first. left tower didnt die because of the inhibitor being there, so its most likely a visual error on your end of the pc.

I just noticed something. This might be a bug. If you watch closely. we stopped hitting the tower exactly when their inhib respawned. Also, keep in mind, the reason we stopped hitting tower is because there was no tower for us to hit.
