This could partially be due to the fact preseason is new and people are learning what's important and what isn't, but last night my team took Baron because the enemy team were so focused on Dragon.

There's a trade-off cost to everything you do in League.

Edit: sorry I just straight commented this without reading your post. But I’m not joking. Personally, I’m going to start the FF vote every time until something is done about it.

That's extremely wasteful of your team's LP. Read some of the other comments in this thread for advice.

Aight thanks for confirming it was on the record!

Btw

Will fix on Monday

is kind of a meme around here because of August, might need to be careful about the way you put that if you don't want the memes to rain in :P

Oh, yes. But, this one really is one for me to fix on Monday.

You're right. I'll fix on Tuesday instead! Close call.

Hey Rovient, are you aware of what happens when Shaco's clone last hits Dragons? (The clone is a bit special in kill credit transferal)

Basically, while it does end up giving the team the individual dragon buffs, it will/can

  1. Delay the SRX transformation by the amount of dragons Shaco's clone has taken

  2. If Shaco's clone takes the kill credit on the 4th drake of the team, nobody gets a Dragon Soul. Since it does get Elder to spawn, nobody will get a Soul in the future, either!

  3. Shows the Elder's spawn icon (at the top of the screen in the TAB overview) as another Elemental Drake. Does show 6 minutes respawn time, and an Elder Dragon will spawn by the end of it. The display on the wall in the dragon pit shows the Elder's Icon all this time properly. Does not seem to happen for the very first Elder Dragon spawn, but every later one (If Shaco's Clone takes down Elder).

  4. Doesn't grant his team the Elder Dragon buff when the Clone takes down Elder.

  5. Might fuck with the spawn order in general. There are reports where Shaco's clone caused single Dragons of a different Element to spawn on another Elemental Rift!

Yes. This really sucks! Will fix on Monday morning.

The "dragon has been killed" event in our scripts apparently only checks for whether Champions have killed a dragon, not any source of damage.

Oof Riot asking a player why they're too bad to use the new tools they've been provided.

It was a bit of fun. Stop searching for trouble.

If your hit by something below 20% and have Taric ult on you do you still die?

As long as Taric's ult has completed it's build up and you have become invulnerable, no.

Maybe next time you smite that damn Elder!? Teach you a lesson for playing Karthus in the first place.

(No, but in all seriousness, massive apologies for this bug. Shall fix as soon as possible!)

But wait, we created Elder Dragon to end the suffering of hopeless souls like yourselves, trapped in games like these! Did it do nothing?!

Not impressive at all, when you were already fed

So you only want to see Pentas from players who are even or behind?

Umm... Cait had mortal reminder and BotRK and Aatrox had BC and executioner's.

Grievous wounds doesn't stack, so that healing was with grievous wounds applied. If the target already has GW applied, then LDR does more damage to that target. Not sure why are you trying to act like that healing was without GW...

Yes, grievous wounds is counterplay to healing, but it's not enough. You go grievous wounds pretty much every game nowadays and there is still so much insane healing.

I did say you see it doing work in the 2nd half of the clip, when cait gets involved. I'm happy she's applying Grievous!

Kingpimpy

you forgot the no liandry and no bork part

Cait actually did have Bork! Good for her.

Whatever, preseason is a total shitshow. I dont care how fed cho is, literally total fail. Dont even get me started on sandguine blade.

I'm just going to have to disagree with you on that one, but you're welcome to your opinion.

Ok, let's break this down a little bit, since I looked up this game.

Cho'Gath had 20 kills at this point in the game. He had:

  • Cinderhulk
  • Spirit Visage (great purchase, considering he had 3 oceans (15% of missing health healed every 5s) and a potential Ocean Soul coming up
  • Thornmail
  • Righteous Glory
  • Gargoyle Stoneplate
  • Warmorgs (he didn't have boots at game end) - Elixir of Iron.

This is the perfect build for what Cho's going for this game. He had 24 stacks of ult, too.

Now, in the video we see Xerath plinking away at him, doing essentially nothing. There's no grievous wounds applied, because for some unknown reason, Xerath didn't purchase Morellonomicon for Grievous wounds.

Against this team, which is fairly tanky and features Darius and Renekton, Grievous wounds is essential.

Only 2 champs on Cait's team took Grievous, and you can see it's effect on Cho and Co in the 2nd part of the clip. Cait DOES do some serious damage to him. When Aatrox gets involved (he also had exec...

Hey, 2M Syndra otp here.

Syndra's W IS bugged regarding picking up low hp minions with her W. Doesn't matter if you have infernal soul or not. It kills the minion, gives the gold but your ability is completely gone.

Ohhh, right. That's really odd. Thanks for letting me know.

You can't attract tower aggro by attacking non-champion unit so how's that relevant?

Hmmm... True! Was just thinking about Tibbers etc. It's probably not that.

Thanks for the post! Tbh though, not seen any rage as such yet. Legitimate frustration, certainly. Some of that frustration will go away on its own as players adapt and become used to the change, some won't. We'll certainly tackle the stuff we worst cases of frustration before season 10 starts proper.

Hmmm... Can't even think why this would occur, since the infernal soul requires that you deal damage before it explodes. I can only imagine that Syndra's W deals 1 damage (but cannot kill the unit) when she picks something up to ensure she's put in combat for tower aggro purposes?

I'lll have to get this bug into our database! Thank you.

Why calculate if the next attack would make enemies below 20% instead of applying damage to enemies THEN checking if they are below 20%?

Aaaand that's the fix we just patched in. :)

Yeah... I wont why this shit keeps happening every season... Pointless or straight up broken and/or bugged shit gets rolled out. Sure continuous innovation is what keeps the game rolling, but I have to feel they lose many players that nope out during this time and annoy plenty more... I suppose they don’t see what’s wrong with it though, because they somehow manage to keep the invested base invested and the player base growing naturally otherwise and somehow manage to fix most glaring issues eventually? (But nearly always way too slow)

As a filthy casual I feel it’s great I can just not play during shitshow times like this.

Imagine a game as complex as League, with 145+ champions that all interact with each-other in fresh and unique ways. If we catch 1000 issues before a patch is put out and just a few slip through (this bug being one of them), then I'm still super impressed with the quality of our design, engineering and quality assurance team.

I know this issue has caused player pain (and some LOL-worthy clips), but only finding a handful of issues in a patch as ambitious as this pre-season is frankly incredible. I will forever respect my team and colleagues for what they were able to achieve with 9.23.

That said, again, I'm sorry for any player pain caused by this bug. It sucks to see, but we'll have a fix out later today.
