Lets Talk about "Client Issues" Hovering Champs

Marcus101RR··2 votes·3,733 views

Dear Riot,

We know you are aware of this terrible bug (I mean, issue) that some people hover over a champ, but some clients don't see the hover. Why? I honestly don't care! Fix it. In any case, I get x9 reports constantly because I banned someone;s he over champ. Lucky for me I took the precaution of recording every match up during the ban phase so in case I do get banned. I am gonna shut down riot's Dev arguments right from the get go.

I had win 7 and now win 10, same problem. I even had a duo local network match and he didn't see my hover!

When is this fixed?

You can't get banned for banning someone hover even if you do see said hover.

I'm not sure if this is a prevalent problem because millions of people download and installed the same client you should/did from League website and if it's a major bug with the download/released version, thousands if not million would experience it. I suggest shoot a support ticket to get help with your issue.

Good to know I can't even get banned if its intentional, but it wasn't. I did a support ticket once before, they just asked me to do the reinstall and repair thing, did nothing. Mind you this is a Windows 10 clean installation and brand new. It is a BUG in the client. Bad programming, 100% sure, I even said I had a local mate select a champ and it didn't show up for him what I picked, and I showed it on my screen. We laughed.

Its a dumb bug, minor too, not even game breaking if riot is kind enough to ignore reports about banning someone champ when I can't see their pick.

I'll harass riot until they come up with a proper fix then, not my problem. Thanks for the info though.

So, perfection is not possible in life.

Given a small enough sample size, something can appear perfect. If the client has a 0.0001% chance of messing up at any given time, then you'd need almost 700,000 players to have a 50% chance of seeing one error.

So, why does the League client appear to "mess up" more frequently than other clients? Well, if you actually look at posts on the official boards of various games, reddit, etc. and take into account playerbases, it really doesn't. Other games may appear to mess up less - but they also are played less. Messing up 50 times out of 1 million players is the same "failure rate" as messing up once out of 20,000 players. However, those 50 players will claim "omg look at this another 49 players had a fuck up but this other game only had 1 total!!!!!!! WOW CLIENT SUCKS"

League has been the most consistently highest played game (i.e. not factoring in "fad players") for many years now. It only makes sense it will appear to "fuck up" more often than other games, even when the client is just as good as in other games.

Now, I'm not saying it may not be possible that the client doesn't have fixable problems. In fact, I'm sure it does - and you can see problems they're fixing in the server status page. However, having problems does not mean it's bad.

Yes there have been cases where taking teammates hovered champ results in ban.

Only if Rito can prove intent. The act of banning a hovered champ in and of itself is NOT a bannable offense. It usually must be combined with other act of toxicity to show intent of being toxic.

Take feeding for example. The act of dying to the enemy over and over (aka feeding) in and of itself is NOT a bannable offense. For one lane to snowball, the other lane has to die, sometimes A LOT. Champion snowballing and killing enemies over and over is hardly a strange thing in League (you can easily end a game with 1/17/2 without inting because that Katarina or LB snowballed and you died if they so much as look at you). HOW you go about feeding or combo-ing feeding with other acts of toxicity like running it down or flaming and claiming to be inting will help prove intent and is bannable. Another examples are afk farming or split pushing. The act of afk farming (maybe to recovered from being behind in laning, etc.) or split pushing ignoring team fights in and of themselves are not bannable offense. It's the context of why you do it or combo with other toxic act/chat that will make them bannable if intent can be proven.

If all you do is ban hovered champs majority of the time, but show no other sign of toxicity or stupid enough to taunt your teammates or show intent to be toxic or aggravate your teammates will not result in a ban. You cannot be banned for using a legal function of the game even if you do it majority of the time unless Rito can prove your INTENTION is to be toxic. The built-in punishment for doing that is the odds of you losing majority of your games is super high.
