hamster113··1 votes·687 views

If u upgrade to hoemguard u get double magic penetration. (get extra 15 pen with 475 goldl!)

Moreover, if u get two Sorcerer's boots u get 30 magic pen

This is terrifying bug. URGENT FIX PLZ.

It is causing full blown crisis in Korean streams. Everybody is steaming about boot stacking!!!!!!

I have not seen anything like that. The tooltip clearly states you stay at 15 Magic Penetration, even after the Homeguard upgrade.

Also, the Magic Penetration on Sorcerer's Shoes is not a UNIQUE Passive. It is a stat. It will stack with multiple Sorcerer's Shoes. That's like buying two pairs of Ninja Tabi and saying "O MY GOD +50 Armor!!! RITO PLZ FIX!!!", you sound ridiculous. You have a high amount of Penetration! That's great. Too bad you wasted an item slot that could have been filled with any of the better Magic Penetration items.

This is neither an "Urgent Fix" nor a bug for that matter. Calm down.

Before freaking out there needs to be several things done.

First: Reproduce it. Go into a custom game, buy sorc boots with home guard and show the stat. Gonna go out and say it, pics (vid) or it didn't happen.

Second: Make sure it's not just a display error and get a friend to be punching bag. Prove that the extra spell pen is actually being calculated into damage. Either way it'll be a bug but it will drastically change the priority of the bug fix depending in the result.

Third: Submit an abusable bug like this (after confirmation) to the support team via a private ticket so as to NOT advertise it. It makes it much easier on Riot's end if it can be fixed out of the limelight, and it severely limits a red's capacity to respond to a thread like this as a red comment brings in a lot of visibility.

Personally I would do this myself but I'm stuck in my undergraduate research lab waiting for 3d model renders.....

  • There's absoultely zero reason to curse here. This is not General Discussion. You show some some decorum here, otherwise you can leave.

Just because you’re anonymous doesn’t give you a license to be an asshat.

And you sir, are without a doubt being an asshat.

  • Do you mind posting an attachment with a screenshot of the increased penetration? Also are you sure they do not have Magic Penetration Runes & Masteries?

OOo did someone say Decorum? Lol

Either his comment was deleted by himself or a mod, kinda sad I missed it

Just for you ArmaMalum :D

Most likely a Moderator erased, after all, it's 24/7 moderation around these parts. Riot don't mess around here!

It was just in poor taste. Some people just cannot spell or speak in correctly punctuated sentences sometimes.

Korean Streams are now full of people buying early Sorcerer's boot + Homeguard to get Free double Penetration.
