Is ranked still rolling out today?
Ranked will rollout sometime after all regions are patched. Given this surprise feature...we're going to make sure we have extra eyes today to make sure we're good to go.
As bad as the impact to unrated experience was...1000x worse if we had had ranked online.
Definitely not fixed, I'm in a game with a guy abusing it right now.
when did your game start?
I suppose maybe it started before the fix? 15~ mins ago?
it's possible your game started before the switch happened. We're continuing to keep an eye on it.
Should be fixed now.
Are you planning on banning players who used the glitch in unranked games to boost their invisible elo?
We will be investigating abuse cases as best as we can. I can't guarantee we'll be able action on everyone, but clear cases we should be able to action.
Are you going to take action against the employees that accidentally put it in the game or just the players that used the thing that the employees put in the game?
Edit: full disclosure I haven't even installed the patch yet and haven't used the bug personally so I'm not advocating for myself. Nor do I think that Riot employees should be disciplined for this either. It just bothers me when you talk about punishing the players of your game essentially because of your major screw up. Take some responsibility and stop trying to punish the players for your mistake. They've already been punished enough by this even being in the game.
It was a bug--it happens. Should be pretty clear that there's a difference between a bug that's not a standard path bug and some one repeatedly trying to ruin 9 other people's games by using a clear exploit.
Patch time for EU and Korea is tomorrow for the US, so no ranked today then basically. Unless I'm terrible at time zones, very possible lol
Their patches are 2pm PDT and 8pm PDT today for kr and eu, respectively.
Yea I used the noclip for one spike rush round when I first discovered it and planted before buy phase started to see if I can, but i quickly realized that I don't wanna take a chance, so I personally believe that people that had tested the glitch out once or twice should be spared, maybe I'm being biased though.
We wouldn't punish for a single use when it first came out. It would only be if someone was repeatedly using it to impact a game outcome or majorly being disruptive. I think in general most players know when they're being abusive versus curious. We wouldn't punish for discovery of a bug and understand player who have no ill intent might have used it not fully knowing what was going on with it.
I agree. But I don't think the players deserve to be punished for this either. Just own up to your mistake and move on. It's really not a big deal it only lasted a few hours.
We agree, it's only going to be for very clear cut major abuse of it. If someone's using it three games in a row and spamming it ridiculously...that's more the realm we would consider it.
Some friends and I used it in probably 4 games but we lost all of them because we were just hopping out of the ground in front of them to have fun. Would we still be punished for doing this?
Probably not. We're not going through and doing a massive review and trying to overly punish. Scenarios with player reports where it's clearly ruining someone else's game is probably the razor we'll use.
Like ten rounds of teleporting the bomb to site before round start in a game...probably that realm. Generally if goofing off and it doesn't impact the game experience of the team your playing against in a negative way...we're not going to seek that out or act on it.
Is it possible to get banned if u used this bug in game?even if it was by accident?
No, it would be incredibly unlikely. We’re only planning to action on a very narrow subset, where it’s clearly trying to ruin other people’s games.

Probably not. If everyone was doing it, it's unlikely that it generated reports, and unless people made video and followed up on it showing really clear negative abuse...you're more than likely fine. We're not looking to ban swaths of players trying out something we let in there. It's more for clear cut, you're using it to ruin a game or exploit multiple games in a row to a winning advantage.
Does this mean that ranked will roll out in 3 hours then???
No, ranked timing is unconfirmed yet. We still need to wrap all of the regional patches. EU's will wrap sometime 10pm-midnight pdt tonight (~8 hours from now). We'll evaluate stability and make sure bugs that impact compet integrity are taken care of through out today. We'll annouce it's start timing with that being clear.
