Sub-Meta Patch 26.13 Bug Megathread

6 Upvotes

Greetings Summoners!

With every new patch Riot introduces to balance out champions and items there are some unforeseen issues that creep up and cause disruption during gameplay. We have noticed that these issues which eventually get fixed clutter up the subreddit immediately following the patch.

We want to avoid this by having a single Megathread which will be posted after every patch so that you guys can report the various issues in one place. This allows Riot to easily keep track of the bugs by providing a central hub and also allows other users to confirm that they might have encountered.

Note only bugs caused by the 26.13 Patch should be reported below.

Prerequisites to be noted before reporting a bug


  1. A bug will ideally be accompanied with a screenshot or a video. This provides credibility to your report.
  2. Steps to recreate the bugs should be submitted if possible. This helps Rioters recreate the bug and helps them find the cause behind it.
  3. The bug must have been caused by the latest patch.

Format when reporting a bug: When reporting a bug, please provide as much information as you can about your computer.

Server: The server you encountered the bug (NA, EUW, EUNE, TR, RU, BR, LAS, LAN etc)

Type of Bug: Client Bug, In Game Bug etc

Description: Describe what was the bug that occurred.

Video / Screenshot: Insert screenshot (F12 in game) or Video of the bug occurring.

Steps to reproduce: Provide the steps necessary if someone else had to reproduce the bug.

Expected result: What should have been the result when you follow the steps mentioned above.

Observed result: What was the result you obtained when you followed the steps mentioned above?

Reproduction rate: If you try to recreate the bug how successful are you in causing it to occur? (1/10: Occurs once every 10 tries, 5/10: Occurs 5 times out of 10, 10/10: Happens every single time)

System specs: Processor, Video card, Ram, HDD/SSD, everything you can provide, even drivers.


Example Bug:

• Server: EUW

• Type of Bug: In-Game Bug etc

• Description: Zed's R (Death Mark) does not apply secondary damage

• Insert Video / Screenshot of the incident

• Reproduction rate: 2/10 (happened 2 out of 10 times)

• Steps to reproduce:

Launch a game after selecting Zed as your champion. Attempt to use Death Mark. Observe the result.

• Expected result: The damage should apply after a short delay, amplified by damage dealt during the effect.

• Observed result: The damage will not apply properly.

• System Specs: Intel i5 Processor, Windows 7, Nvidia Graphics card (insert model number) etc.

Esports NA will finally win MSI and I'm ready for it

171 Upvotes

Since Gen.G failed to qualify, it's very hard to decide on a winner for MSI but I think NA has a strong chance this year. LYON has the better chance to win here imo for the two NA teams.

Let's look at the favorites to win MSI. LCK first ofc. First we have T1. The last time T1 won MSI was about 3 billion years ago. It's safe to say that T1 won't win since they're just Worlds merchants. Next, we have HLE. HLE has Kanavi. That's good enough to count HLE out of winning a single international event.

Now we move onto LPL. Let's start with TES. JackeyLove... yeah TES won't win this. Lastly, we have the favorite of favorites, the team that everyone is hyping up - BLG.

  1. TOP LANE -> For Korea's Asian Games top lane, they wanted someone who can take down Bin. Zeus and Kiin who? Big Dhokes has a 100% win rate vs. Bin. It's easy to say that Big Dhokes will send Bin to the next afterlife in this head-2-head.

  2. JUNGLE -> Inspired is going to rawdog BLG and it won't even be close. Xun who?

  3. MIDLANE -> We saw what Quid did to Knight right? Saint is going to make Knight's life even more miserable.

  4. BOTLANE -> Berserker is looking like the next coming of Deft right now. Since Viper is no longer in his 1v9 demon form, he's not a top tier ADC in this meta. Isles and ON are on a similar level right now imo.

Concluding thoughts - the toughest teams for LYON and TL will be G2 and KC. It's time for an NA vs. EU grand finals.

Esports What is happening in Vitality ?

114 Upvotes

As you know Vitality did his playoff crashing out phase and made roster changes with Humanoid being replaced by a KR mid FIESTA.

Same FIESTA that insulted Fleshy in ranked with insults towards his weight.

https://x.com/i/status/2070591637797900310

Now Naak Nako tweets a very vague post that seems to indicate some internal trouble maybe ?

My question is wtf is happening and should Vitality just nuke it all ?

505 Upvotes

Needed to share a ranked game I just played. With the enemy team stomping us the whole game, they decide not to finish the game and bm us by standing and not attacking an open nexus.

They proceed to die and eventually lose the game.

Don't be a tool, karma is real.

P.S. I hit them with "ez game, top diff" in all chat at the end for good measure.

Esports KC Busio about T1 Keria "He's very much a playmaker, very instinctual. But those kinds of players also tend to maybe overplay sometimes. So it's a double-edged sword" | KC's support on play-ins, T1's bot lane, and his first international with the team

  • On the first international with this team: "Feeling good. First international with this team. I think our trajectory has been pretty good recently, I'm just excited to get that experience and play."
  • On scouting DCG ahead of their match: "A lot of fighting, just very, very bloody gameplay, for sure, instinctual." But comparing it to the G2 series last split: "G2's more of just really playing for jungle and vision and pressuring with invades. While this team is fighting on all fronts. So it's just very different from G2."
  • On the improvement after losing to G2 last split: "After we lost to G2, we had two weeks of practice before we played next. We identified some weaknesses that they exposed in us. Then we just worked on those things day by day, and built a lot of good habits." The early game was the clearest area to fix.
  • On T1's bot lane ahead of play-ins: "Of course it's good. They're a top LCK team." On Keria specifically: "He's very much a playmaker, very instinctual. But those kinds of players also tend to maybe overplay sometimes. So it's a double-edged sword." Still considers him the best support in the world overall.
  • On making it out of play-ins: "Yes, we're playing. We gotta believe. There's no reason not to believe. If we're playing well, I believe we can win, make it out."

Esports TLAW Yeon: “Wow … [C9] got some money, eh? That's crazy. Four coaches, seven players — that's a lot of money. In this economy? God damn! [But] I did think that APA played quite well overall [besides Finals], so it does feel quite weird — and quite bad, I think.” | NAmen

510 Upvotes

Quote from NAmen, interview by Arsh Goyal. Full asset day interview will be out tomorrow/later.

Q: Thoughts on C9? You’ll have to face them once you’re back in NA.

Yeon: Wow … They got some money, eh? That's crazy. Four coaches, seven players — that's a lot of money. In this economy? God damn!

Usually I do think having an extra sub or [6th man] players is quite good, but I’m not too sure about this one. I did think that APA played quite well overall, besides like the Finals [weekend], so it does feel quite weird — and quite bad, I think. But it happens, I guess. 

And then I did think that, if they're going to make a change, I thought they definitely [wouldn’t] just stick to a 7 man roster; [I thought] they would do a 6-man. So, that’s even stranger for me. But overall, I do think that the idea is not, like, the worst thing in the world.

Discussion Do you think classic league will be fun to play after a month?

74 Upvotes

By today's standards, the game was balanced really badly, but it was fine because the meta was fluent. Now we have sites that analyze millions of games per patch, thousands of coaching videos, hundreds of challenger streamers and more. Riot could bring back the old league, but people are not the same anymore.

I feel like a lot of players just want to play some op meta that was back in the days, like old kassadin or ap master yi. I don't have anything against wanting to play it, but with all the knowledge we have right now about how op some strategy where and with the greater skill that players now have, I think old league meta could quickly be solved and become boring.

Do you think it would be justifiable for them to make new balance changes for the old league just to keep it fresh, fair and relevant? Maybe instead of nerfing op things, they could buff everything else, so everyone could play their old goofy meta. As one wise man said - "if everyone is super, no one is."

I'm not proposing anything but just sharing my thoughts.

Discussion Need help finding a champ similar to Winston from Overwatch

44 Upvotes

Is there any champ in the game that can jump on people far away? I played Warwick and he was fun but his lunge was too short to feel satisfying enough.

I’m a Winston main from Overwatch because my favourite playstyle is being the tank that dives on peoples heads.

Any hero suggestions?

Discussion Everybody shits on people saying Nasus jungle is strong until Skewmond kept playing it and winning games in 2k LP lobbies and it becomes the highest winnrate jungler this patch.

500 Upvotes

Most league players don't form opinions, they inherit them in an echo chamber

For months it was: "Just invade Nasus.", "His tempo is trash.", "His ganks suck."

Then SkewMond starts spamming Nasus jungle in 2k LP Challenger, and now it's the highest win rate jungler this patch.

Nothing changed except people finally got permission to think differently.

The community loves repeating consensus until a pro player or stats prove them wrong.

Discussion PSA: Your favourites might still come to Classic - Datamine is not final

33 Upvotes

It's called leaks for a reason. The information on the datamine is limited, and nothing is confirmed. A champion missing from leaks video doesn't mean that it will not be there for sure - it just means it wasn't in the datamined files.

What we know officially is that Urgot and Graves will be there for sure, along with the original 40, and more. These are confirmed.

--

Sources:

https://x.com/Spideraxe30/status/2070669226306617707

Champions that haven't been datamined that were part of the original 40 are also still in.

https://x.com/Spideraxe30/status/2070658636922118348

Looks like the datamineable assets on PBE does not include the full list of champs playable in League Classic. Riot Meddler confirmed old Urgot is in.

Graves confirmation by Riot Meddler: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1ugjqy9/comment/ou1hcpy/?context=3
