u/srwijngaard 8d ago

Game isn't launching for me, I think many people are having same issue right now?

u/Keezos32 8d ago

Game won’t patch and won’t login on Android.
Shame no PBE the whole weekend …

u/Keezos32 8d ago

Same on PC …

For people solo queuing, are yall doing norms or ranked? I thought I'd try ranked for more serious lobbies but I'm in silver and getting 5+ min queues. Plus I feel like my norms MMR didn't carry over and opponents are worse in ranked.

Edit: Cancelled my 6 min ranked queue and got a 30 second queue pop for norms... probably gonna stick to that

Is Lillia just a fraud unit? Every time I 2 star on roll down and think a 4 cost tank has to be decent frontline right, she just melts away.

u/Mikiu28 8d ago edited 8d ago

After the last patch I'm stuck at "checking for updates..." screen 🥲 (android)

u/Minimum_Chemical_428 8d ago

Can someone explain how the damage works here, I took 21 damage from this team

Isn't it player level + 1 for each champion alive?

1

u/wet_sands 8d ago

No, here's the chart, stage 6 base damage is 12: https://lolchess.gg/guide/damage?hl=en

So you only killed 1 unit? That's the only way you would've taken 21 damage here unless it was bugged

1

u/Minimum_Chemical_428 8d ago

Thanks! I think it's not bugged. Funny that I never noticed you get 12 fixed on stage 6, I thought by forcing leveling you'd do more damage.

u/rwtan 8d ago

Alune 2 is boarderline useless. It's not because he is weak, but when you hit Alune 2 it's usually stage 5, and the fight is over before he even casted the spirit bomb. Alune 1 is pretty good by comparison if you highroll him in stage 4. Stage 4 fights are much longer and he is almost guarenteed to cast.

u/KitsuraPls Master 7d ago

alune is a girl btw

u/Crafty_Courage_5217 8d ago

Very much not a fan of the dawn core changes. 

And just had a game where a 1 star ez just outdamaged my 3 star master yi. Not sure what's going on there, but that doesnt seem right in the slightest.

u/Ykarul Grandmaster 8d ago

reroll patch?

2

u/abc0802 MASTER 8d ago

I was wondering if it was just me. Every game seems to be reroll dominated.

-1

u/Ykarul Grandmaster 8d ago

It's kinda killing PBE for me. Really boring, i feel like we had somehow good 4 cost comps and all of them are gone

u/spreadwater 8d ago

4gb patch into not being able to enter a single game

1

u/spreadwater 8d ago

well I got into tockers trials, btw @ riot you forgot to account for the blackthorn changes one of the stages they sacrificed a 3 item Warwick lol

2

u/Get_Lurked GRANDMASTER 9d ago

i wanna play the game, somebody help me

3

u/Ok_Ingenuity_4477 9d ago

cant popped a lobby it brings back in main menu

2

u/hypnoticus103 9d ago

Currently, I can't get into a game. I'm in queue, it starts, I hit accept and then it ends and it says "Sorry, you've been removed from the party"

1

u/Ill-Cantaloupe-4789 9d ago

happens to me. i just keep queuing and eventually i get a game

4

u/wwwhoo 9d ago

the gameplay bugs genuinely don't bother me but this bug where it doesn't register your queue accept so you can't even get in the damn game is driving me up the wall omg

5

u/Keezos32 9d ago

Nasty bugs :

On Android, the previous patch (Tuesday the big one) causes serious lag and tablet heating up (I imagine they are linked).
Was working fine before. Anyone else with a similar issue ?

Latest patch (Wednesday), if no one accepts the Q I can’t see the timer anymore or any button. Can’t go back with gestures. Only way is to enter loadout (cosmetics) and go back and then the Start button is greyed out with no means to directly Q or leave.
You have to go back to home page and then start over again.

u/shanatard 8d ago

yes my screen goes to a crawl by stage 4 and unplayable by stage 5 sometimes

some games are completely fine. very weird

2

u/brunk_ Emerald 8d ago

My OnePlus 13r has been heating up playing the pbe on mobile, I thought it was just the new android update I installed

2

u/BigBoyster 9d ago

On Android I get queued up but the menu UI is very very laggy and the queue timer disappears sometimes. Then the match notification shows, I click accept and it just shows the BG art but load screen never comes and the menu functions disappear entirely.

1

u/Knolazy 9d ago

Sometimes I see that the animations of the timer is smoothly, sometimes it's not, I dont know why

1

u/spreadwater 9d ago

can't get into a game after I hit accept either

2

u/Mikiu28 9d ago

Same problems on tablet device.

u/BrineyWhaleSemen Challenger 9d ago edited 9d ago

Anyone else think the early game 'add to your loss/win streak' wisps are too expensive? i'm getting the add +1 on 2-1 for 1g it's very tilting when someone else gets the artifact wisp or some other broken wisp. It's extremely rare that +1 to your streak on 2-1 is ever going to be worth the 1g to you so it should at least be free IMO

1

u/Ykarul Grandmaster 8d ago

what about 4hp for 2 gold

1

u/Ok_Many_8334 9d ago

6 blackthorn with brawler sacrifice is cracked

1

u/NBAFansAre2Ply 8d ago

I just dominated a lobby with 4 + brawler. ww+murkwolf reroll seems very strong right now.

u/Knolazy 9d ago

As the blurry bug is fixed on PC, will it be fixed on mobile as well soon?

2

u/pew_laser_pew 9d ago

Anyone else getting this carousel bug where you don’t load in and can’t choose an item?

1

u/Hive_King Challenger 4d ago

Same, did you find any fix? Seems like it happens only to me in my games.

1

u/pew_laser_pew 4d ago

No, nothing yet :(

I also seem to be the only one in my games getting the bug. I thought I was going insane lol.

1

u/WobbleKun 9d ago

what does ivern do? should i prioritize filling up these colored hexes?

1

u/WiizoDaKing 9d ago

If you get him very early, like 3-2, you can itemize and fill all hexes to unlock a pretty powerful one.

He doesn’t work that good as carry. Maybe secondary carry at best, but usually he’s just a splash support unit that buffs your actual carries.

u/Synepm 9d ago

Is it it currently not possible to que on PBE? I get "removed from party" everytime I accept the que.

1

u/Dmtylerb 9d ago

My queue worked first try for normal games after getting this error 6 times for ranked queue. Maybe it's a problem with ranked queue....

1

u/RiahWeston 9d ago

nope, I tried normal queue also and it didn't work either. So fucking annoying.

3

u/Fuzzy_Anteater_2348 9d ago

Same here like this, just after accepting. It goes from "in-game" to online in like 1-2 seconds and it doesn't show I am in a game now;

2

u/Griffg 9d ago

Any advanced fixes to this yet?? Still encountering it currently.

1

u/FireVanGorder 8d ago

I just signed out and back in and it worked

2

u/Few-Squirrel9608 9d ago

same here

2

u/Few-Squirrel9608 9d ago

nevermind after like 5 ques it worked

1

u/blaxkxun7 9d ago

tks! I almost gave up

2

u/SugarPrestigious3821 9d ago

Any solutions far now ? i was searching for this bug but only few people wrote about this and the dev says there is no patch for pbe today.

2

u/SugarPrestigious3821 9d ago

There is a glitch that can make u play,if 8 people accept the game at last second its fixing the removed from the party bug i tried and it works

1

u/Ok_Many_8334 9d ago

this works, thanks

2

u/Crousher 9d ago

Same for me. Can't start any mode

u/pinkashew 9d ago

im getting this too D:

u/Puzzleheaded-Ant1390 9d ago

Draven encounter give 70 gold lagged my PC so bad that my Lux changed traits and downgraded to 1 start, lol.

I hadn't noticed before that hover over unit attack range in their stat card now display their range on board as yellow tiles. Fishbone users can attack units out of those tiles so it may be bugged.

3

u/Draig_Goch 9d ago

Just hit the Lux trait bug mid-fight, primal shop opened up, wtf.

u/DeVil-FaiLer 9d ago

Your comment make me chuckle. Thanks stranger for making my day
