'''League of Legends''' was released in October 2009 and developed by [[Wikipedia:Riot Games|Riot Games]]. The game was in a closed beta from April 10, 2009, to October 22, 2009. It then transitioned to open beta until release. Generally speaking the game is largely bug-free and will run on a wide range of systems, however some glitches and bugs are still reported.

There is currently a bug with the client launching after pressing play on the updater. The "League of Legends" emblem will flash a few times, which isn't unusual, but then the client itself will not open. [http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=784361 A guide to fixing this bug can be found on the official forums,] however the final step, completely clearing League of Legends and all programs associated with it from the computer and doing a re-install from scratch, is the only certain fix. There is some debate on the reason this bug exists.

- "Phantom/Ghost minions", which appear to the player as normal but untargetable minions but do not actually exist on the server, causing vision and collision in that area to be bugged for the player (it appears as if the minions give vision and cause collision when they actually do not)

- Untargetable turrets/inhibitors, whereby if an enemy turret/inhibitor falls while you are disconnected your game doesn't allow you to target the turret/inhibitor behind that turret/inhibitor in that lane (Pressing A and left clicking the turret/inhibitor can fix this issue however).

There is a bug on Dominion which causes the mouse cursor to disappear or corrupt, and appear as a vertical line. This problem persists through the game client and into the OS, until a restart occurs. The problem fixes itself at random intervals whilst in-game. This problem is believed to be caused by the use of an ATI graphics card, and no reliable fix has been found. One common suggested fix is to turn off cursor trails, and uncheck the "Hide Cursor While Typing" option in Mouse Options, however this fix has been known to not fix the problem for everybody. Another fix is to put the computer into sleep mode; the sleep/wake cycle clears the problem.

There is also a bug if using the Borderless fullscreen mode in which the game will start loading champions in after selection, but the upper left corner of the game will be in the middle of the screen. This makes it impossible to see 3/4s of the screen, but has a relatively easy fix. Open up the Task Managers [Ctrl+Shift+Escape], right-click on League of Legends, and click "Maximize". This will restore the points to their correct location and fix it. Alternatively, if you can manage it, change the game mode back to Fullscreen or Windowed, and then change it back and it will be fixed.

One of the most popular mods for League of Legends, LoL Replay (otherwise known as LoL Recorder), is a game recording and replaying mod/program. It has been given the [http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=499342&page=7#post6087865 Ok from Riot], and its openly used by most of their staff and pros. It adds very little load to the computer, and is completely automatic in recording and replaying. The only problem is that Health bars are only loaded when the player is looking at them ingame, this means that if during the replay you look somewhere different to where the player in the replay was looking, health bars become buggy and inaccurate. This is however the only downfall.

−
There is currently an issue with interaction between replays and the recording software Fraps. It is known to be something to do with the cooldown timers on skills, and how they are accelerated when the replay is fast forwarded. There is a fix to this issue in the program. In the settings there is a tick box for a "Fraps fix", and the program will also automatic detect if you are running fraps and ask you if you wish to apply the fix. The setting fixes the issue with Fraps, however it causes the cooldown timers to become un-synced when fast forwarding the replay.

Since the Ziggs patch (01-31-2012), older versions of LoL Recorder will cause the game to bug splat. If you have been experiencing this issue, update LoL Recorder, or turn it off.

When a replay is started, sometimes the viewer will be unable to view the replay controls (Pause, fast forward etc). This is caused by not having the latest DirectX Runtime install on the machine.
