Players once again uncover a significant glitch when using the Kalista - Sion duo
In League of Legends (LoL), there's a myriad of bugs, big and small. These issues often arise most frequently whenever Riot introduces new updates or champions, impacting Riot's tournaments significantly.
Recently, some players discovered a severe bug associated with Sion and Kalista. Notably, both champions are heavily utilized at present. While Kalista has been featured as a Marksman in some matches during the Summer 2023 tournaments, Sion has long been a well-known name in various roles, notably Top Lane and Jungle. The new bug was spotted when a player used Sion in the Support role, pairing up with Kalista and having her oath-bound to him.
The scenario unfolds as Sion initiates combat but gets targeted. Naturally, a Support Sion can't withstand the onslaught of damage from both opponents and turrets. Consequently, Sion is defeated and triggers his Glory in Death passive. Typically, when the passive expires, Sion would be officially defeated. However, in this instance, the Kalista player managed to use her ultimate - Fate's Call - just as Sion's passive was about to expire. Immediately, Sion is fully resurrected without any delay. Moreover, Sion resurrects precisely at the location where Kalista cast her ultimate, eliminating the need for any movement time.
This is an extremely serious bug if exploited, as it practically renders Sion unbeatable. It's worth noting that executing the Kalista - Sion combo isn't overly challenging, as players can always time Sion's passive expiration to coincide with Kalista's ultimate execution.
Certainly, with the community's outcry, Riot will ensure this bug doesn't resurface in professional matches. However, four years ago, Vandiril himself discovered this bug, but gameplay changes and updates caused it to fade into obscurity. Now, the bug has reoccurred, and Riot must intervene to prevent any exploitation that could impact the gaming experience of the community.
