Nightmarish LoL Bug Finally Removed

Patch 12.17 in LoL has brought an end to one of the most annoying bugs in the game. Now you don't have to worry about misusing fast signals.

League of Legends received patch 12.17, the last update before the World Championship, which will start on September 29. There were a lot of nerfs this time, as well as buffs, although one of the fixed bugs caught the most attention. Well, the cursor will no longer fly like crazy after pinging.

A small change, but a good one

The problem with the cursor when sending pings had been present in the game for a good few years. Players, wanting to alert their team members, not infrequently sent a signal that they were on their way or needed help instead of a warning. For many of them, it was a nightmarish experience.

Still, the bug was small enough that some people thought it was only affecting them - because of the mouse they were using. It turns out that nothing could be further from the truth.

"'Fixed a bug that resulted in the cursor moving chaotically when using fast signals.'

Good to know I'm not crazy," wrote CrystalizedSeraphine.

What else in patch 12.17

As this is the last update to come out before the Championships, Riot Games has decided to nerf characters that dominated the world play-offs. Interestingly, Maokai and Hecarim underwent some changes.

The first of the heroes after the new patch will be able to return to the jungle and the top, while remaining functional in the support position. Hecarim, on the other hand, will focus more on damage than the role of a tank. To this end, his Q and W skills have been changed.

Changes also appeared in items. The stopwatch became more expensive (from 650 to 750 gold), which was reflected in the price of the Guardian Angel and Zhonya's Hourglass, which also increased. The Seeker's Armguard, on the other hand, was buffed.

At the very end, it is worth mentioning that from tomorrow (September 9) in LoL's store we will find four new skins: King Viego, Zenith Games Blitzcrank, Zenith Games Jayce and Zenith Games Lee Sin.
