Why buff Nike just because people aren't playing her even though she's really good? If a gods secretely op then why not wait for people to realize she's op, don't buff them preemptively, just say:

"This god is actually broken as f**k, you guys are missing out"

Because it doesn't always work that way. Things that players value and statistical win rate don't always align. For example, Hades has been basically top 10 for years at this point. Not a modest amount of time, years. If we nerfed him I don't think people would be fully on board with it.

We tend to evaluate based on win rate (with supplemental stats), popularity, and high level competitive use case. Mattene is basically correct. Nike was generally perceived as underwhelming, seeing a low use at high level and struggling to see play elsehwere even though her stats were solid. Buffs tend to have anywhere from 2 months to 2 weeks of buildup time before we announce them. Perceptions can shift during that time and when they shift as we get very close to a patch it can become tricky.

This often comes down to a debate between Win Rate being a "valid" stat or not. Some feel Win Rate should be the only metric, while others see it as a relatively meaningless stat. The truth i...

Alright here's your pep talk!

You guys got this! No other 5 man squad has the mental fortitude to push for victory when the going gets tough like you guys. You've practiced hours for this moment. Take everything that you've learned and execute. May your rotations be swift, and your team fights coordinated. If you start to doubt your skills, just keep believing in yourself. And if you can't do that, believe in the Isiah that believes in you!

Go get that dub.

Sorry about that!

I've been working with the platform crew for the past few weeks on getting this fix. Unfortunately this issue is not happening in our test environments, so when we implement a potential fix the only way to test it is to run a problem mode in live. We'll keep at it and hopefully nail down a fix soon.

Huh, that’s kind of weird how local matches are less consistent than net matches. Would this possibly effect LAN events like the SPL?

LAN games are still networked games.

Local games are those where there is no server, it's literally only client authority.

Hey guys -

I've looked into this one a bit, and it seems to be an issue exclusive to local matches. (Therefore, you would never see this happen in an actual game). Jungle practice is a useful tool, but it doesn't create a net instance on our server. Therefore, it doesn't 100% replicate a regular game environment. For most abilities, this is just fine. But some abilities rely on server response to function 100%, and in this case, you're running into one of those.

You CAN use jungle practice in a net instance, and that simply requires pulling a friend into jungle practice with you by partying up. And if you do so with Kali, you'll see that you'll consistently hit the triple hit at close range.

Match ID: 1029934293

In game timer 00:28 yep not even a minute in and it got locked

Normal casting mode.

No special keybindings.

I had a mana chalice, then used my 2 stored the potion, and that's when I noticed it did the thing were the potion was still floating next to me so I knew it got locked. Tried swapping but all I did was just switch the slots the potions were stored.

What's better was the ult bug I had it was like a lottery everytime I ulted, would I be able to fire, would it work normally, would the house animation end early, and best one was could I infinitely shoot witch fires long after the house animation (this made the game so much fun, sadly it stops if I right clicked or got cc'ed)

Also randomly through out the game I would be unable to jump, then randomly i would be able too.

Gonna copy/paste this to a lot of people - unfortunately Reddit isn't great for individual responses.

As an update we shipped a fix for this to Xbox/PC/PS4. It was a client fix, and server didn't need a restart, so you'll have to relaunch your clients to get the patch (was sent out at ~1pm EST) . Let me know if you run into this issue again after you've downloaded that patch!

I've been able to hit the gold shrine with Sylvanus in live at many different angles - can you send screenshots of the angles you're having trouble with?

Happened right at the start, when going to help jungler clear their speed buff.

I use quick cast in the options menu (for relics), but change individual character abilities to either instant or normal. For Baba, I have all of her abilities set to instant cast except her 1 (which is on normal cast).

No special keybinds.

I had 4 multi pots and was unable to fire with or without a pocketed 2, and swapping them did nothing to help.

As an additional note, I decided to leave and reconnect to see if it fixed the issue. It thankfully did, however this is still not ideal as I got pretty far behind the enemy midlaner.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones cause my ultimate also wouldn't fire along with my 2 locking up.

Happened really early in the 4-6 minute mark

I have normal casting

No special keybinds

Had a stored potion before I got bugged I think.

1st thing I noticed was that my ult wouldn't fire and that I could only walk around so that was great, then I told my teammates and he said "does your potions work" and I'm like yea I then proceeded to spam change potions and before I know it that broke as well.
