There is a bug forcing champions to walk within range to cast spells.

This bug is not intended and we are looking to fix the affected champions. Currently we know that it happens with Anivia Q and Janna Q. Please let us know if this bug happens on other champions. We would much appreciate this.

Thanks, :3

Might just want to check all champions with skill shots.

Annie and Cho'Gath's W's both make you move in to range if you cast them outside of their castable range, it's been this way for a long time now. I can only assume this is a bug, since no one who isn't a retard would ever do that intentionally.

Some people reported the opposide effect with Azir's Arise! last patch (he would not walk in range to summon at the cursor but summon at max range between himself and the cursor)

Maybe someone tried to fic this and fixed at the wrong spot?

In my oppinion, all ground targetted skillshots, should make the champ walk in range, while all linear skillshots can be cast whenever.

I've noticed sometimes when playing:

Veigar:

  • I would try to land an event horizon on someone that is outside my range but then as I walk up (not using smart cast so I can see the ring placement) that it would activate too early or fire too far and be the center of the cursor which was weird

Miss Fortune:

  • Casting Make it rain, I noticed the same similar thing in that if the target location I want to fire it is just a little further then my range She would either walk to that location and not do anything or she would try to get in range but then actually fire Make it Rain literally right next to her and completely miss the spot of my cursor

It effects Azir's Q.

This also happens with skills from Lux's kit.

This was happening with Ryze one EUW yesterday. His Q wouldn't proc properly and it let a nice juicy kha zix get away :(

Soraka's W had some weird issues right after you reworked her. Dunno if that ever got fixed.

I can confirm Duke's statement that Azir's W has the opposite problem. If you try to throw them at an area outside of your maximum cast range, they appear as far away as they can instead of Azir running to put it there. Makes him feel really awkward.

Are those the only champions affected? I've noticed some weird things on some other champions, but I don't main them so it might just be working as intended.

With this patch you have COMPLETELY broken Nidalee. Between this account and my other, I have over 300 ranked games with Nid.

And I am just shocked at how broken she is.

  1. The cougar form backwards swipe (you guys know of this, still in complete shock it hasn't been hotfixed.)
  2. A couple game her spear would literally disappear. Like wtf.
  3. In cougar form her Q is drastically more unresponsive. In the past I could do a quick spear, cougar form - pounce, swipe, execute.
    Now when I pounce her E swipes behind her and her Q is immensely delayed. It's never been like this. I have enough nid games under my belt to know her like the back of my hand.

I'm apauled my nid has gone to the trash can. Disgusting.

What does this mean? Don't they always have to be in range to cast spells?
