In Teamfight Tactics, there are numerous bugs, both big and small. Some bugs directly affect gameplay, such as the Kalista bug where she stands still and doesn’t attack throughout the entire round, or the issue with items being combined but not usable or displayed to activate traits… However, there are also minor glitches that have persisted for a long time without resolution, which adds to the frustration of players.
Recently, a player posted on Reddit about a bug that seemed to have “gone into the past” long ago: the bug causing the item Abyssal Mask to appear in the game. It’s said to be an old bug because its presence dates back to… Season 1. This item can randomly appear in the item pool. However, the notable issue is that while this item can be equipped on champions, it provides no stats whatsoever. Players are left with no options regarding it, and it takes up an additional item slot.
According to many players, this might be a minor and basic bug, and aside from taking up one slot in the item pool, it doesn’t directly impact the game. However, the fact that this bug has existed since Season 1 and continues into Season 5.5, meaning it has persisted for over 2 years, is the main reason players are frustrated. This demonstrates that Riot seems to have no interest in improving their beloved game or the game modes associated with it. Some players even argue that when Riot releases patches or updates for new seasons, they have “forgotten” that they still have an item of no value and no function that has existed over time.
