It's all about the timing. Lucian took the lantern at the right moment so the lantern animation cancled the Q animation.

I have found out a hidden mechanic with Thresh and I got perma bannend because Riot said i used 3rd party programs or something like this.

Rito pls...

It's unlikely this is what your ban was for, though if you are intentionally exploiting a bug for an unfair advantage then that would be grounds for a ban. The only thing you can do is submit a Support Ticket and ask about it, though they will be unable to give you details if the ban was for something else.

It's not his fault that the game has a bug. When there's a bug like this, it's the developers fault and he/she should be dealt with, not the players that find the bug. Exploit? So what? Someone gets paid to fix and discover these issues. Stop blaming players for these issues.

It's not his fault it's there, it's his choice to abuse it.

It is absolutely on Riot to fix the issue, however, intentionally abusing it is not ok and there is no valid argument to do so. There is no further discussion necessary.

exploiting a bug vs knowing how to cancel an animation is something different..

Bug exploit was the Xerath game cancel thing.. or the timate trick that kicked people.. they are fixed now. but those bugs where abused alot in the start of this game.

Actually, if the cancelling is not intentional (in other words: a bug), and you are using it to your advantage (in other words: exploiting), there is absolutely no difference between the two.

That said, there are huge differences regarding the impact of bugs like that, and there are also bugs that are too easy to accidentally reproduce, that it's more or less impossible for Riot to ban people for abusing it. That's why there's not 100% consistent ruling regarding exploits. But all that means is that any intentional exploit of a bug can potentially be punished by a permaban, depending on the obviousness of the intent and the impact of the bug.

The bug Lee Sin's E had, when he was first released was probably one of the most extreme cases. It was so easy to reproduce accidentally that Riot couldn't ban anybody for it, but so impactful and widespread at the same time, that Riot actually had to compensate Lee Sin balancewise, when they removed it.

Edit: In this case, btw, I'd argue it's rather difficult to ban for it, since it's the Tresh that gains advantage, but it can be triggered by the person taking the lantern. If you can read Thresh players you might otherwise be able to intentionally try and get Threshs banned for exploiting a bug they might not even have known about.
