LoL 14.12 Bugfixes and QoL Changes

QoL Changes

  • We are changing the way we display ‘successful' ability casts. We used to display success cases such as Aatrox's sweet spot hits using the critical strike symbol, but it caused confusion since it was not an actual critical strike. Going forward we will be using a different icon to signal these kinds of situations.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug with Syndra's Scatter the Weak (E) where it can move Rek'Sai's Tunnel (E), causing the Tunnel to move. In case you weren't familiar, tunnels are not actually movable objects.
  • Fixed a bug with Syndra's Scatter the Weak (E) where it can damage Gwen inside her Hallowed Mist (W).
  • Fixed a bug that caused Viego to receive the base version of an item if he possessed a champion with an Ornn upgraded item.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Viego to permanently lose his Masterwork Item upgrade upon Possessing another champion.

  • Fixed a bug that caused Flash to not play its VFX if used by the enemy to Flash into the Fog of War.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Malignance to continue to deal damage to Epic monsters after the ground burn disappeared.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Akshan to not prioritize enemy champions with his E if he learned it after marking them with his Passive.

  • Fix a bug where Pentakill celebrations were being triggered additional times after killing a Champion clone.
  • Fixed a bug where Soul Fighter Samira’s Pentakill celebration had confetti and spotlight VFX partially missing.
