So far, Worlds 2022 has experienced a number of bugs, and here are some of the biggest ones
League of Legends is a game that is always being updated. With regular patches comes a slew of bugs, and League of Legends has its fair share. The majority of them are visual bugs in which the graphics of ability or terrain fail yet the real object works as expected.
However, these flaws frequently spill into gameplay, and one of Esports’ greatest tournaments, LoL Worlds, is no exception as pro players have experienced multiple bugs this year.
The Orianna problem received the greatest attention since Riot was forced to deactivate the champion. So, let’s speak about the flaws we’ve noticed in Worlds 2022 and how serious they are.
Orianna
The problem is mostly a visual bug that has entered the game during Rogue’s match against GAM Esports. The bug looked like this: “When Orianna casts R – Shockwave as her E – Command Protect arrived to an ally, the ability would visually trigger on top of Orianna even though the actual ability effects would be on the shielded ally.”
Many fans, as well as Riot, noticed this and took measures to deactivate Orianna.
Despite Riot’s assertion in their statement that it was “newly found,” this issue has occurred previously. It appears to have been included since the Worlds patch 12.18.
Gnar
The boomerang problem is one of the earliest bugs since the release of Gnar. Instead of returning, his boomerang reverses it’s direction. It was brought to light a few days ago during the TES vs. DRX match.
It’s yet another of those old bugs that Riot never repaired. While significant, it also necessitates exact motions to repeat. Riot has effectively left it on the known bug list, but given that it can be recreated, it should be fixed immediately.
Rakan and Azir
Erik Wessen, or Treatz, discovered the bug in which Azir could cast his ultimate when cc-chained.
The odd part about this is that it might be caused by two bugs. The first is the Azir casting his ultimate when CC’d problem, which is most likely one of the bugs listed in the bugs list.
The other is a well-known charm-related issue for Rakan. Since Rakan’s ultimate charms champions, it is commonly known that those who are charmed can use skills or summoner spells. Because it is a known bug, teams were previously aware of it, but it is disappointing to see it effect a game like this.
Darius
Then there’s the Darius Bug, which has made quite a stir. Fans flocked to social media to complain that the bug was game-breaking and that the game should have featured a chronobreak.
This problem has also been known for quite some time. There should also be no significant issue because the bug had no effect on the game. Even if Darius regained his ult, his passive would not have been maximized.
As a result, with no max passive and minimal health, he would have been slayed before anything even occurred.
