LOL: The funny bug seen in competitive that made a champion fly

The spectator mode of League of Legends is something that we already took for granted. However, its proper functioning was one of the most important challenges that Riot Games had to assume to ensure the future of the competitive system. During the first years, a player who stayed at the base is used as a spectator next to a series of hidden systems in the game that revealed the entire map. An archaic method that evolved towards which we know today. Much more advanced, of course, but still far from being perfect.

A bug that only affected the spectators

The observing tools still presents errors that can lead to hilarious moments for the spectators of competitive matches. The last one took place in a match corresponding to the first week of the LPL in which Top ESPORTS and ULTRA PRIME faced. During the meeting, a split mode failure caused we could see a champion levitating over the loyalty crack and crossing the walls at will in the middle of a group fight.

Although the failure may seem like a disaster for competitive integrity , its effect was limited to those who were watching the party . Good test of the situation is that none of the players requested a pause. However, similar bugs that can do to the champions leave the logical limits of the sum invoked and surf the skies. Some of them have also appeared at the LPL, a situation at all casual since it is the league in which more parties are disputed throughout the year.

Riot Games still has work ahead to improve viewer mode. Some skills and effects of the champions are still not all clear that they could. An emblematic case is that of Aphelion after its launch: the developers had not thought about the clarity of the observers and showed the information about their weapons on the screen. The problem was solved after a long time of complaints, but there are still similar cases with champions that are very difficult to enjoy seeing them in competitive.
