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 11.17 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.

Hey there! Appreciate the report. Would it be possible to send over your League Client logs? Our devs are interested in taking a look.

• Steps to reproduce: Visit any profile and pay close attention the the lighting. It gets darker after a second

• Expected result: Normal lighting

• Observed result: Everytime when freshly clicking on my profile the background skin picture gets darker after 1 second.

This is actually intended for right now. We had a really nasty bug and the best way to fix it is to remove some of the banner animations in profile and Lobbies. This should be fixed for the most part next patch. Nice observation!

• Type of Bug: Client Bug

• Description: After finishing a summoner's rift game, it closes the game client and then pulls up a lobby client which is all black and unresponsive. Closing that with task manager then brings up the expected "honor your teammate" screen.

• Video / Screenshot: it's the lobby client but all black.

• Steps to reproduce: Finish a game

• Expected result: "honor your teammate" screen

• Observed result: All black screen

• Reproduction rate: It happened in 2/2 of the games I played today. It did not happen before this patch.

• System specs: AMD radeon hd 6800, amd a6-3640 apu, 4 gigs of ram, installed on ssd. I have it set to close the client when I'm in game.

This is known right now. Your client is closing during the game to save memory and then when you return, it takes a bit for the league client to recover. Generally if you leave it for like 30 seconds it should recover. If it's not.. can you DM your League Client logs? This should be improved next patch.

We think low-spec mode might be a solution to this while we dig into this deeper. Could you let me know if this works?

  • Server: SEA
  • Type of Bug: Client
  • Description: Session expired

Apart from the multitude of problems the new client has, it also inexpicably expires session? In game there's literally nothing wrong but the client is so broken that the session expired is much more frequent like every game after or even just opening the client

  • Video Screenshot: open client, wait for session expired
  • Steps to reproduce: Open client
  • Expected result: The client stays open
  • Observed result: Session expires warning appears so frequent
  • Reproduction rate: 10/10 Happens when logging in or after every game
  • System specs: AMD v160 processor, ATI Mobility Radeon 4200, Windows 10 64bit

This usually happens when the client tries to connect repeatedly over 5 minutes and if it can't secure a connection after that time, it will show the session expired modal. Do you have a stable internet connection?

I do... I use Garena though, maybe it is connected with that issue? Really thankful for a rioter to reply to me.

Bummer! Okay, would you be able to DM me your league client logs?

does not work. my client is already in low-spec mode.

one thing I noticed is that the rune animations and sound effects are enabled even in low-spec mode and that's what might be causing the bug. before the 11.17 update these features were disabled according to the low-spec settings, now i can't turn them off.

Bummer! Okay, would you be able to DM me your league client logs?

I've had low spec mode on since before the patch, I also checked if it was still on after the update (which it was), and also tried turning it off then on to see if it made any difference, but I still keep having this issue.

Sadge. Could you DM me you league client logs?

This bug happened only 2 times so far. The first time 8 days ago, when I reported the bug, and after 28 games, yesterday it happened again. I don't know if this is related, but one of my friends had a bad internet connection, and kept disconnecting. After the game ended (we surrendered, but I don't think it matters) we saw the "don't wait for statistics" message. We disbanded the lobby and we created a new one. We could not start the queue because an error message kept popping up when the leader of the group pressed "find match". We all experienced this bug once, so we simply decided not to play anymore for the rest of the evening.
Unfortunately I don't remember the error message (also I have the client in italian). I was kinda upset because we couldn't play anymore.

Even if i have no proof, I think this bug affects all 10 people involved in the game.

I hope this message will be helpful! <3

Really appreciate the details! It definitely gives me a few leads :)
