Anyone know about this? all I could find was that it was making peoples screen freeze whenever it popped out of fog of war.

He appears to be carrying a black hole, which as any astronomer can tell you, light cannot escape. Without light you wouldn't be able to see, thus when he appears the game crashes. Laws of physics being followed! For a strange change of pace . . . [slayer-jinx-wink]

Does anyone know when to expect this to be fixed????

SenpaiAzirJun 18, 20166 votes

Yeah, that's the main reason. I believe it happens with Dark Star Varus as well. Whenever they appear out of the Fog of War, the screen will literally freeze for like a second. I had that when I was playing Zyra and it was horrible.

the same thing is happening when sion's passive dies but no one is reporting anything for a couple of weeks now

So does Challenger Nidalee and (I think) Chosen Master Yi popping out of the fog of war.

So does Jayce occasionally when he switches stances.

I hope they don't take too long to get this resolved...I picked it up as soon as it came out and really want to use it :P

They could at least change the login screen, I feel like it's mocking me.

Riot: Lets build the fuck outta this skin for a week with trailers and such. It'll have all new animations and interactions but we'll disable it for 3 days after about 4 hours of it being released. It'll be so funny.

it made the entire enemy team's screen freeze for about 2 seconds. super unfair. im SUPER salty for them not having it fixed already. it shouldn't be taking this long. i bought that skin and was so hype to play it only to have it disabled after one game FIX THE SKIN RITO!!!!!!!

ThiccDaddyGastonJun 20, 20165 votes

This is turning into a bad joke , I didn't buy RP and the skin itself to sit here for over 2 days and not be able to use it , the worst part about this is , is that riot doesn't do refunds. Therefore, they don't have to worry about trying to fix the issue ASAP and can take their time.

Can you at least use a log in screen that doesn't feature broken content? Bought the skin and haven't gotten a chance to play it. It's been what 3 days? Feel like I'm getting trolled when I log in.

I dont get how they didn't notice this in the PBE when they play tested it. It seems like something big enough that they would disable it for days would have been noticed. I just think its kinda dumb that for a skin that was so hyped and got its own log in screen they didn't make 100% sure it worked. Also if you cant tell i'm a little salty. item 3070

PBE is actually a different build entirely. Its not live a few patches ahead, its a slightly different game essentially. So what works flawlessly on PBE and internal servers may not work the same on live.

Azir was like that; He was almost entirely bug free on the PBE but the second he went to live he was super buggy.

Feels legit to make a server test so it doesn't actually test it right Kappa.

Great work riot. Release a legendary skin and semi-legendary skin, and within 8 hours have to take it down due to technical issues. It's kind of ridiculous how bad this game has started to become in the past few months. First it's the dynamic queue change and all it's problems, then it's boosted accounts becoming a huge issue, don't even get me started on the mid-season mage update (where now every champion who uses AP is completely BUSTED), changing triforce SPECIFICALLY because of yasuo, and now stuff like this. I've played the game for 5 years, but it's getting REALLY hard to keep playing amid all this. Shaco

I agree. I thought the "Golden Age" of League of Legends would last a few ages more. but it seems that everything is starting to go down from bad to worse.

Feminists On IceJun 20, 20164 votes

It's sad that a company that only has one game to manage will take something that seems like they worked on for a significant amount of time out of the game and not even post a message saying when they expect it to be fixed or precisely what was causing the issue. It's really annoying that they still haven't offered any explanation or some compensation for the people who spent money on the skin in the opening day of its release and now haven't been able to use it at all.

They aren't that bad. The skins had bugs. So what? A lot of things have bugs. The pbe can't catch many bugs like what someone below me pointed out about azir. Dynamic queue is what they are keeping because they don't wabt to set a precedent that allows riot to be completely influenced by the community on a decision which has bad implications, like Reddit knows balance. Boosted accounts have always been a problem, and what should riot do to address them? Triforce was changed NOT because yasuo, but because it wasn't an item that should have crit. They were tired of people using triforce as an adc item when it could help the champs it's supposed to a million times more if it didn't have crit. I have no problem with the new mages, but I do feel bad for the adc mains out there.(where's the adc zhonyas) Name the mages that are a problem(except for swain riot Pls)

Malzahar, vladimir, swain (nerfed now) Syndra just got a buff (so now she just presses r and kills the adc), ahri, annie, anivia, Cassiopeia, veigar, all busted. They deal so much damage that the new meta is gonna turn into bruiser/support bot because adc's can't keep up. Oh and by the way at the same time the mage patch came out, they nerfed almost EVERY MR item in the game. They typically don't do the best at balancing new champions on release, but at least they release them one at a time. They re-vamped about 20 champions and let them go all at the same time and it has been miserable (for me anyway) since. Triforce has had crit on the item SINCE THE GAME CAME OUT. And now all the sudden it's an item that "shouldn't have crit"? That was the whole purpose of the item-to have a mix of all stats (hence TRI force). That I know of, no ad carries even built triforce before the change regularly save for possibly ezreal/lucian, because there were WAY better options available for the price tag. Really, if you can name one please do, because I can't think of one that regularly built it. And Reddit having a problem with dynamic queue? Try everyone at a higher elo having problems with it. All of the main streamers (qtpie, gosu, anniebot, the list goes on) have all expressed how big of a screw up the idea of having more than 2 people be able to queue together was. I've always been a fan of the concept of going into queue with a set role/roles, because it got rid of that whole "mid or feed" malarkey, but now the actual system doesn't work. Half of the time, if someone dodges a game, the queue will go on searching indefinitely, and i'm not sure whether or not to leave queue and try again (which fixes the problem) or keep waiting because the next second might bring the match. TL;DR game getting worse

How much did you pay to buy this game? oh wait.... shit can be expected to go wrong they are humans working with coding. its not easily handled. Start offering up your money if you want to see a FREE game get better.

I didn't pay any money to buy the game, but I sure as hell have spent my fair share supporting it, (to be honest it's kind of ridiculous how much fiscal support I've given this game) which is why I'm expressing my SEVERE dissappointment. Think about it. I just spent $15 to buy this skin, and I haven't been able to even use it for more than 2 games. Not only that, it NEGATIVELY IMPACTS the ENTIRE GAME when it was being used (my duo partner repeatedly telling me that something is happening with the skin when he drops from 60-5 frames per second). $15 is about 1/4 of another entire new game, and an even larger portion now that the steam sale is coming out. The fact that you think this game is not supported financially by the player base shows some pretty serious misconceptions about the way that Riot as a company works, tbh how companies work in general. And thanks for assuming I've never "offered up money" on a post where I'm literally complaining about something I OFFERED UP MONEY for. Really?

Riot may postpone until next patch if we're heading in an Azir-like way. I hope to say Wednesday.

LawyaltyJun 20, 20162 votes

As of right now I can say that the skin may be postponed until Wednesday, Riot is working hard and trying to fix the bug for you guys... when I logged onto PBE and played a few games with the Dark Star Thresh skin. I had no errors... it seems the problem is live servers, just wait guys, it will be back soon. Thresh item 3070
