I felt so bad for this guy

R2HOGSV6a5·Feb 19, 2015·93 votes·4,553 views

I was in a RANKED game playing adc and we get ganked by the enemy xin. He hits me and it doesn't knock me up.

"Is my knockup broken or something..."

Why riot, disable him.

if lee sins ult didnt knock back they would shut down all the servers and nerf 3 other junglers in the meantime just in case

ZmuecatFeb 20, 20152 votes

Hell, if Lee Sins ability to gain spell vamp bugged out, Riot would probably hotfix the jungle to compensate for it.

Riot even admitted that they knew about the bug. They could at least put it in the upper left hand corner of the client like when they disable stuff...but no, they literally do not give a fuck about the people trying to play Xin that do not frequent reddit or the forums. Thats a dick move...and i'm honestly not even surprised with Riot.

If it was Lee Sin tho? Woulda been quick patched that day.

RetillinFeb 19, 20154 votes

Yup, again showing how bad Riot can be at times. If it's not a LCS big plays champ, screw em.

Speaking of bugs, Meddler also commented on the Xin Zhao Q bug introduced in 5.3: "Quote: pretty much the title. Was playing xin as jungler and noticed that the third q cannot knock up anymore, anyone have the same problem? That's definitely a bug, not an intended change. I'm 99% sure we've got a fix for that in the next patch already, will double check tomorrow though." When asked why this bug hasn't been hotfixed, Meddler explained: "Hotfixes (making quick changes to the servers without taking them down for a longer maintenance period) have extra risk associated with them. Hotfix changes do get tested extensively, but it's over a shorter period of time so it's not completely equal to a full patch cycle of testing. As a result in order to justify the risk involved hotfixes need to be really high value (e.g. X champion is currently disabled because they crash the game) or be at least fairly high value and really low risk (e.g. changing a single number in a text file that corrects a major damage bug). In this particular case Xin Zhao's Q doesn't knock up if the target isn't moving at the time of the third hit. That's definitely a significant bug, but it's not crippling him and the fix involves code changes, which are much riskier than just changing data values. As a result (as far as I'm aware, server patches aren't my area of expertise) we're not currently planning to hotfix this bug. In terms of how often we update we're currently putting out a patch every two weeks generally (major exceptions around things like Worlds, Christmas etc). I can understand your frustration that fixes like this can take a bit of time to come out, that's the same cadence of patches as in Season 1 back in 2011 though."

bring on the downvotes because no you "screw Rito" ragers can't say they're not trying

So basically what they're saying is in the meantime you should press S to invalidate another jungler.

StarangFeb 19, 20155 votes

Oh, I thought for sure this post was about my night. Losing 5 out of 6, getting trolls everygame, afks, and Teemo top who hard counters himself vs Panth. Then he takes smite, has 10cs to 130 10 minutes into the game, says "Teemo doesn't need cs, he's not an assassin", and proceeds to lose the game single handedly. Oh, and of course people on the team are like yo relax breh, it's just for fun, maybe he's having a bad game.

Go. Fuck. Yourself. I don't know who I hate more, the fucking trolls, or the suck ups that coddle them all game and defend them.

James StoneFeb 19, 20155 votes

Don't. I've checked, the bug is purely animational. The full CC duration is still applied, and it's still uncleansable/unnafected by tenacity. Xin is losing no combat ability from this, just some flashiness.

QuortFeb 19, 20156 votes

Yea, I noticed this too while playing against him. I was still under the effects of CC, just not knocked into the air visually from what I could tell.

SpagootGGFeb 19, 20151 votes

no it gives a small shitty stun its about half the cc

junglerboy16Feb 19, 20157 votes

According to an official Red response, the reason they aren't disabling him is that it only fails to knock up stationary targets, so half the time it will still be able to knock them up.

The Queen ViperFeb 19, 20154 votes

Yup... welcome to the League of Beta my friend.

FuaztinFeb 19, 20154 votes

I played xin a few days ago. I could clearly see that I wasn't pulling champs from the ground but I noticed a stall in their auto attacks. The cc effect might still be working.

ThryaleFeb 19, 20153 votes

yeah, I honestly don't see why riot hasn't disabled xin yet. They've disabled other champs for less before. Xin not being able to apply his crucial cc is game breaking.

Sole15Feb 19, 20152 votes

there's many bugs with champions like nid's spear flying through 3 members of the other team and doesn't dmg any of them. Riot knows of all of these bugs but they wont send a team to fix them until that bug happens in worlds or the LCS, Riot's to busy with the pros and shredding all the papers they get of players being reported. Riot's no the company it used to be before they made tons of money, sadly money changes all.

Meddler said "...That's definitely a significant bug, but it's not crippling him..."

So he isn't going to be disabled I guess.

Rinky DinkyFeb 19, 20153 votes

Yesh because my knock up that usually determines whether or not I get the kill doesn't cripple me at all.

For real tho, almost everytime I play Xin, that knock up will be what gets my that sweet sweet booty.

Again, you fear-monger, Xin isn't affected because the target is still disabled for the full duration. It still counts for Yasuo's ulti, it is still uncleansable, it's still unnafected by tenacity. Only instead of having them do a little jump, Xin merely freezes them in fear by piercing them with his manly spear. The target is still affected by the full duration of the knockup, and can't move, attack, use abilities, or spam emotes.

I might have been that Xin i know i said that to an enemy adc when i ganked them i posted about it too i was so pissed the what is spposed to be a knock up is now a small glitched shitty stun

Ariel the CruelFeb 19, 20151 votes

while we're at it. can we fix his Q ignoring blinds?

OrbvFeb 19, 20153 votes

IIRC it still does no damage, but the CC should still apply because it's an on-hit ability. Like Wit's End would still do damage when blinded.

Ariel the CruelFeb 19, 20152 votes

It blocks abilities that apply on-hit effects and physical damage on-hit. Xin's Q knock-up is treated as a spell effect - that's fine. But he shouldn't be able to stack it with AA's that "miss".

Wit's end applies damage because blind applies 100% physical damage reduction. But has no effect on magic damage.

Really, the ability is horribly counter-intuitive. Same with Fiora's riposte.

OrbvFeb 19, 20151 votes

ooooh, thanks for the clarification. I feel like it needs to be on more champs so that they can see where it sort of fails

ThewannabegamerFeb 19, 20151 votes

Fiora's riposte does magic damage and is on your hit not hers.

KaisadiIIaFeb 19, 20151 votes

Blind just block the damage from your basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects. It does not block effects considered on hit (for example Vayne still applies her W) unless it is specifically coded to be blocked.

Ariel the CruelFeb 19, 20151 votes

Actually, Vaynes AA's Don't apply silver bolts while blinded. Her knock-back still does though, since it's a spell and not an AA.

Big Nasty MèatFeb 19, 20151 votes

Umm, it still functions exactly the same you just don't see the animation. Kinda funny how clueless people instantly start jabbing their pitchforks into Riot before even comprehending the situation.

Acidic PuddleFeb 19, 20151 votes

This has happened to me as well. I saw a XinZhao complaining about this. I don't play xin, but it would be very nice to have him in working order for all the people that do play him.

FistOfSharkieshaFeb 20, 20151 votes

While we're on this subject, has anyone ever had a Morganna Q go through an Amumu? It happened to me multiple times in one game with an Amumu, and I think I'm a bad player overall but I'm amazing with skillshots. Her Q has a larger hitbox than animation so I cannot figure out why it didn't hit him. He didn't have the Banshee's veil.

OreoRampageFeb 20, 20151 votes

Over the last year I've noticed a bug with her Q when using Thorn or Bride skin. Sometimes it disappears and may or may not hit.

FistOfSharkieshaFeb 20, 20151 votes

I was using the Blackthorn skin for the first time after I bought it on sale and it was the first time this glitch happened...
