Dear Riot: Large Blue and Red Boxes over everything...

Working as intended? I think they're ugly and annoying, so I'm hoping it isn't a design choice...

Hey can you provide a screenshot of what you're experiencing along with browser and OS. Hopefully this will help us troubleshoot what's going on.

Well I'm not the OP but I've had a similar problem, minion attacks are replaced with flash icons, particle effects show up wrong, etc. Been happening a lot recently.

My browser is google chrome and my OS is OS X 10.9.5

Ah, this is unfortunately something for our 'Report a Bug' section. Initially thought the OP was referencing things on the Boards being in red and blue blocks. But if it's in the game, I can't help there!

This is quality passive aggressiveness right here. Raising attention to the fact that this was posted in the wrong section.

I genuinely want to help anyone I can, however the extent at which I can help directly is limited to Boards issues in this case. I'd like the OP to receive the help they need and the 'Report a Bug' section is the way to go in this case. Or dropping a message to Player Support here!

Yeah post it to Report a Bug or send a message to Support, so it will be ignored either way.

Man, I see you everywhere and you never have anything good to say. zzz.

Anyway, Sweet is quite literally helping in any way he/she can, by telling you where you can go to get this resolved.

Look at the report a bug section. Did any Rioter respond to the countless reports of smite being able to kill Trynd, Fizz or Vlad? Or the fact that you see the hp bar of an allied champion drop for all the damage they have taken since you last saw them? Or the countless Azir bugs?

Or the fact that pressing the reconnect button does nothing? Or that some skills are bugged after reconencting?

Some of these issues have been here for months, pressing the reconnect button has been bugged for years.

Then there is Riot support, they will only deal with stuff such as payment gone wrong or needing few RP for something (though both of them are really useful) and some minor things like checking the toxicity/afk stats of your account or how much money you spent on your account. Everything else is automated. I reported some bots a month ago, they are all still playing the game without any punishment. You would think a large spam of 5 Soraka bot games when the person never plays Soraka or the support role would be enough proof. But then there is even obvious bot behavior of following somebody around, recalling when they do, running away when targeted by turrets only to run straight into them again because the person they are following did. It's so obvious i really don't believe they are even investigating theira ccount.

I should just copy/paste my previous comment here, as nothing I've said has to change for it to still be a valid response.

There are some random VU's. Sometimes I randomly get the Teleport summoner icon showing up as the dmg animation on towers. It's very odd and kind of hard to explain but it will flash when I auto attack the tower. I find it happens mostly when playing Pulsefire Ez.

I recently had minions shooting flash at me...

Yeah I used to have this problem but I haven't recently. I think they have fixed it but idk.

This is from my experience with the Source engine, and may or may not be what's going on with Riot's engine, as a Disclaimer. Anyway, what appears to be happening is that the game is loading the wrong assets (effects, textures, etc.) for the effect at hand, at random, though it seems to favor displaying summoner spell icons and red/blue (what I assume to be the engine's version of the Source-based pink/black checkerboard texture (used to signify that you didn't have that asset installed)) squares.

For the devs, the game loves to frequently load up minimap icons, ranged minion vfx, and tower shots (including inhibitor towers) with the wrong asset. I've also encountered pieces of terrain (on the old Summoner's Rift) that were replaced with the wrong asset as well.

Hope this helped!

I have been experiencing this quite a bit. I thought that it just might be my laptop but others are having the same problem. One game every single minion attack was a weird blue square, two dimensional. Could we just get this moved by a forum administrator to another section? That would be great.
