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.

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.

Can you please tell me which champions felt weird? I want to look into them in case they were affected.

Honestly, Fiddles has just felt weird today. I play with surprise party skin and it just feels like some of his spells are not registering. Could just be me, though.

It was mostly Ryze. It kind of felt like if they ran too far mid Q cast, I'd suddenly stop and chase them. It could be a completely normal function though considering he's all point and click. I also have some pretty bad ping sometimes too.

Nidalee Q (cougar form) feels like it is terribly unresponsive lately and it is supposed to be a quick AA reset, not sure if related.

I know she had an attack speed nerf but it was only 8%, responsiveness is much worse than 8% slower.

To be more specific, the animation would cancel midway through in very unpredictable ways, quite frustrating and unreliable. Played her fur years and never felt that way before.

@Riot Hongyou, I had a nidalee player in one of my ranked games complain about the swipe going in the direct opposite direction. Also, I have noticed that when playing Rumble and jungling, sometimes when I pushed Q during the AA cycle, I would flip around 180 for seemingly no reason. I executed no other command but pushing q and Rumble spun around 180, stopping the autoattack cycle and taking free damage. I am almost positive that this is monster-specific and not related to minions. If it helps, almost 100% of the it time happens at wolf camp.

Azir's soldiers will not attack targets when commanded if Azir is near max range of the soldiers' tether. Instead of the soldiers attacking targets in their circle Azir will walk toward the targeted unit(This is not an Attack Speed issue/Soldiers were able to attack at the time you click the target)

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

only point and click. Anything thats a skillshot used with smartcast should not make you wake forward if you cast it just outside max range. Mechanically speaking, they're supposed to be programmed to simply fire.

Not with certain things. For example, Janna throws a tornado. It shouldn't matter if any enemies are around. What they are saying is that an enemy has to be in range of Janna for her to throw the tornado.

For most champions with skill shots, you can cast spells in the cursor's direction even if your cursor is outside the max range of the spell.

Ah, I see. Thank you! (Does that mean I should avoid Ezreal for now?)

"attempting to reconnect forever" bug. Small 1-2 second lagspike with zero packet loss forces the "attempting to reconnect" message (this would not have happened before 4.17). This message never goes away, even though my lag was gone before it even popped up. Close game -> attempt to reload -> bugsplat in the loading screen 10 times in a row at 100%. It's too bad this wasn’t fixed in 4.18. People are getting leaverbusted for it. Thousands of people.

How to reproduce:

Mega-thread with people complaining about bug:

Example of small lagspike that will disconnect me from the game forever (until I close it) and subsequently cause me to bugsplat in my next 10 loading screens, causing my team to play without me for 10 minutes:

Wow, I love when people hijack a thread to talk about something completely different.

Maybe Riot should address the issue then.

It has only been like what.... 2 - 3 weeks?

I've been having this issue off and on for the last 2-3 weeks, and I expected it to be addressed by riot at some point. The least they could do is acknowledge it. This post wasn't touched by a riot employee either. Aaaaaand then theres this reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2j1542/randomly_disconnecting_in_418/

By the way: this is sarcasm.

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.

Caustic Crusader1 votes

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.

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.
