Congratulations Riot. That Gragas bug you ignored has impacted Worlds a hell lot

And by a hell lot, pretty sure Gragas WILL MOST LIKELY NOT be picked ever again in fear of that Q bug returning back again.

What if the Gragas team is losing, and his Q stopped working & made the situation worse? What if the Gragas team is winning, and then being a little bitch she is, starts messing up his luck?

Please always keep these facts in mind before turning your head away from bugs such as this.

EDIT: Great, you disabled Gragas last minute. There goes the Best Jungler Plays there...

Well how do you know that they aren't trying to fix it?

They addressed this bug. It's one of those weird one in a million things, much like Shen's ultimate bug or Vi's Q bug that aren't' easily repeatable, because there isn't a clear cause for it to happen (unlike GP's ultimate which taunted minions every time it landed on an area).

How can they fix a really rare bug that has no clear cause? That's like asking someone to find and cure cancer with nothing more than a Fisher-Price stethoscope.

And look, the picked him again in the remake. Give it a rest. Never picked again my ass. You guys are the Michael Bay of internet forums; You blow everything way out of proportion.

Yeah, they reset the game. Fanatic still repicked Gragas, though.

Please take this as an acknowledgement of the bug from Riot. I've been trying to track this down for MONTHS. And, yes, I've read all the reports of this. The problem is, when a bug is reported with no actionable leads or reproduction steps, it's difficult to fix the issue. Not having an understanding of what causes this to happen, we can't safely fix the bug and we could end up breaking the ability more. League of a Legends is a widely played game, and we see 'one in a million' edge cases (like this bug) all the time, and it drives me crazy. If the community can come up with reliable reproduction steps to a major bug like this, I Garen-tee that the bug would be fixed within a patch or two. In terms of work around, I am currently working on an Azir refractor, so things are super busy. However, I have plans to look into this bug and find a way to hopefully avoid the issue the spell currently. (No eta) tl;dr: Here is your acknowledgement. This is a one-in-a-million bug; We don't have a reliable reproduction step, nor the understanding of the different variables involved, so we can't reliably know we fixed the issue when we attempt a fix.

Honestly, Boards is filled with so many Riot haters I'm surprised they keep playing the game.

BTW, Gragas was picked again right after the remake :) And if you're going to say "why didn't Riot disable him?" that's because Gragas was already played 24 games already in Worlds without any issues, so Riot made the call not to disable him.
