The Exploit that Ruined Ranked for a day 

Or that tell the computer: "English or Spanish?"

Spaghetti got eaten by dogs LMAO

@@voanhduy389 i guess it was happen BTS

League coded by doofenshmirtz confirmed

This dog curse is one crazy spaghetti 😂

forgot to return the slab

Well the message looks like dog faces next to each other so that's probably where it came from

imagine dragging chat window to intercept projectiles...

​@KilluaPatolico okay but that's actually a cool idea for a game?? Idk about a pvp game but imagine a game where you can use the UI to do stuff like that

​@@Bluesky_sac imagine dragging these n.... you know what, nevermind

Im crying atm😂😂😂

The coded each individual characters as seperate minions lol. Seriously tho, I think it's a regex issue. It really looks like one. We know they have chat filters so they probably use regex on the client side to check messages. And we know the game starts to use 100% of your ressources when it gets "cursed". So it reaaaaally looks like a regex issue to me, unless there's some other weird explanation I do not see. Most devs (including me, lol) don't know how to write proper regexs, the thing is an absolute nightmare. Hey if you want a fun way to see what happens when a regex fail, go to your browser's console (Ctr+shift+I on firefox) and type /(.*.*)* ^/.test(0.1+0.2) then hit enter. On firefox it will send you a "stack overflow error" which is talk for "Your computer doesn't have the resources to compute this shit, wtf are you trying". On some browsers it might make them crash. Fun stuff.

Is this a secret Nasus buff?

@@bonic7217 finally, passive got more letters

how they use it in game i cant copy past anything inside the game chat I need to write it

@@hazelcf6985 dm'd it in league client not game client

​@@hazelcf6985 dont know if vanguard bans it but maybe autotyping programs

but if you send it it doesn't crash?

hot dog in the chat

Code injections are always a very fun exploit. Tho in this case it looks like a regex issue.

Well they were trying to write instructions in binary or something like that. At least thats what i assume. Flip a few ones and zeros in the right place and the game shits itself. Edit: seems like my initial assumption was wrong. Its not that attack vectors like the one i discribed dont exist but this seems to be something simpler and more innocent. I didnt notice that the sequence looks like dogs.

@@Minus4 what are you even saying

​@@Pipe0481 you dumb, study

@@Pipe0481 that sentence is perfectly understandable what do you have an issue with???

I can only assume that this particular exploit was found accidentally when someone casually typed the dog emote to their friend while they were in the game

imagine letting them that access just to play some toxic oldass game

i dont think the anticheat has anything to do with computer language compiling

ikr? What kind of idio... oh damn

​@@Seibuzzaits riot league code we are talking about, not even conventional logic applies anymore

Which rito has since vanguard update...

OMG that was the worse

That are called overflow xploits

it could actually brick completely back then

Wtf how to type this shit?

@@PCB389 Search for "egyptian hieroglyphs symbols text", go to the wiki and voila 𓀆

I can tell you, but then your bloodline will be eternally cursed

​@@realSer so yours already cursed. Damn

@@realSer What exactly does this curse entail? Just a "mild itch every couple of seconds" type of deal or "become eldritch horror after age 20" type of deal?

I got perma banned yesterday, due to "using third party to gain advantage" when what happened was vanguard stopped mid game, had to reset PC to get back into the game. Riot is completely cooked

they could of just cleared cache...lmfao

You would also get punished like you did an afk or rage quit if they also reported you, my sister's account got banned for 30 days because of these exploits. And we were in Arena (the exploit also work there). We kept crashing over and over, and her PC was really having a hard time...

​@@vanjamenadzerFan Control is an App to ...control ur PC fans and Riot Vanguard blocks the app due to cheating issues...woooow😂

@@JackDaniels-ct5wz bruh cooler pc means more fps more fps than average is CHEATING!

didn't it get hotfixed though? like i'm all for calling out riot's bad decisions but this isn't really one of them

it got hotfixed what are you even talking about

@@nothinisworthit bug was already known 2weeks ago Vandrill didn't posted it probably bcs he didn't wanted ppl to abuse it. 2 fucking weeks riot is a joke they repaired it bcs it got popular rly fast but when only few ppl was using it they didn't cared

@@thaib2724you say that but as much as everyone jokes about riot spaghetti code, some of the code is over a decade old and finding the exact part that causes the issue and manage to find a solution to the issue in two weeks is actually quite impressive if you also take into consideration that they do not work 24/7, but normal working hours like most other people you’ll find your statement completely false. Two weeks time to identify and find a solution is not them not caring. You fail to account for the time all this takes before the patch is out. This is not even taking into consideration that the people abusing this obviously are not going to be reporting it. So Riot would not even find out about it immediately unless enough people report it. You may only see the patch being released, but there are quite a bit more going into each patch and I can almost guarantee you that they didn’t just sit there ignoring the exploit for two weeks and then solved it in 5 minutes before posting the update.

@@nothinisworthit riot glazer spotted

Not that easy, it is an old game and you can't just "fix" it by writing it again, that is not how coding works with such a old game... And money

They'd need to remake the game... Yeah, probably not doing that... Original game was made from scholars. It was NOT scalable. Now it isn't, so they had to make one code on top of the other, thrice.

@@somexne That'd be valid if the game was 2-3 years old. League is FIFTEEN YEARS old and they've even made a new version for Mobile. They should've made Wild Rift platform agnostic and transitioned the game to that codebase. I've worked with legacy systems, there comes a point where you either start sunsetting the current version as you spin up a new one, or else you consider it "black magic" and try not to anger the old gods. If the latter, then they shouldn't keep bolting crap onto the existing client which they CLEARLY do not understand.

They couldnt even fix faker and t1's ddos problen

In the case of an exploit like this, there's not that much they can just predict. It's not like in their code they have " if (chat_message="dog emoji) crash_game();" or something, bigger companies have been hit with this exact same kind of unicode exploit, like Google, Apple and Whatsapp.

*stops moving*

and turns out that the real loser was the one typing, as they were the only one moving afterwards

​@@levar6618 well might as well since they aren't moving

@@alexandreduhaime8622 to be fair that bug was more on the fun sie than actually game breaking.

@@Rei_Eliot nice whataboutism.

This is nothing to do with anti cheat and also: almost every anti cheat works like that, nothing new.

the chat ban does not protect you from this exploit. If you have chat ban, you can see the conversations in chat, but cant type.

This can crash your game if you get DMed from a friend list, because the message pops up in game

well master tend to not be retarded enough to burn their account for le funny free elo when i log back in 2250, even if you mute your team would have disconected you know ?

This has nothing to do with Vanguard... Did you even watch the video?

@@JackDaniels-ct5wz how much are you getting paid to just go through all the vanguard comments and reply

​@@JackDaniels-ct5wz may have. Makes no sense rn and Vanguard analyses your chat messages to give real-time mute. May be.

​​@@LucasImpulsenothing, just bored for 5mins

​@@somexneand how did they filter chat before? You really think they don't use existing methods and actually do something?😅

I believe that the message has specific characters that the program cannot interpret to send and causes some type of bug when sending to the server, making access unavailable. I'm not an expert in programming, I study, but I don't consider myself a professional, it's just a guess.

league made bots that read the chat and look for profanity and stuff, might be that

my guess is some sort of service is there to analyze the messages (like flagging toxic messages potentially for example) and it wasn't written well enough to handle edge cases (unexpected characters) and cause a hang state to happen... and some other things that is calling the services are not handling timeout and have some sort of retry so the service calls probably pile up and eventually crash the game? I'm not sure how exactly but that's just my speculation

Someone coded something like shit, that's all there is to it (at the end of the day strings are just a sequence of numbers, the "rendering" part should never hang even if it encounters an unsupported character and instead display nothing or an [X], and if there's any text processing there is no reason for it to hang unless they're using some stupid bugged library or their own bugged code - I know C++'s standard regex library has/had a crash in it)

I remember an exact same issue on PS4 back in 2015. A simple message with weird characters would crash you ps4, the only issue was going to your phone PSN app and delete the message.

me yesterday EVERY fkcing game i play at the end i just can't see the after lobby because client crash then i need to fkcing restart lol every gfkcing game when 1 week before i can't play i need to restart my pc for 0 reason like vang shit is fkcing activate but nope riot need you to restart your pc but they tell me to do shit with some files in windows ect ect i legit do nothing than restart it one time and now i start the pc i can just open lol and idk if you too but why now i can't have fkcing shortcut of lol every time i try to do it it said he can't fkcig open it

Because fixing a 120 gigabyte of code is such a simple thing to do. I love these undercomplex comments...

​@@tobias97erdtthey'd better get started then

@@tobias97erdt Client ≠ Game

Poor puppy, he ate that vile thing known As Riot code

My guy me and a irl friend were doing arena and the kill we got went to the enemy zoe, and they got the gold for the kill, its super buggy sometimes u don't even load into the game

So this is actually pretty common and has happened in pro play alot. It's not a bug but it is extremely confusing. The statikk shiv passive still applies for a very short while after the item user dies if they have damaged you, so if another champ on their team kills the user affected by the passive, it still procs but the kill and subsequent bounces go to the person who finished them off.

Every time there's a serious enough exploit the accounts get banned and now they can even get pc banned

presses W E and watch stacks to brrrrrr

is it the same text ?

Thats was in my game 1 hour ago, i lose 29 lp and get leave

Differrent Text apparently. Another reason to /mute all 🥸
