The Exploit that Ruined Ranked for a day

First we had Nasus and Renekton quest broken, but I guess it wasn't the end of dog issues in League of Legends.

I’m part of the official League Partner Program with Riot Games. You can read about the program here:

[darkstalker]

Spaghetti code received a self destruction message

[nefrax]

Curse of dog is such a funny name for an exploit. 10/10 naming

[Seibuzza]

maybe...and hear me out...they coded the chat as a minion

[taczki]

Curse of Dog's only counter: the Blessing of Ignorance

[Chuaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

"Anyone who saw that message..."
Literal creepypasta material 💀💀💀

[ongxuwei]

Google Chrome : I use a lot of RAM.

League Client in 2024 : Hold my beer.

[ocbpuuo]

Imagine if rito had kernel access to your computers

[yolosilvia]

How on Earth did anyone ever manage to discover that typing a certain message tells everyone else's clients to have a stroke?

[iseeyounoobs]

Reminds me of when New World launched. They didn't sanitize chat messages, so you could type html code into chat and it would attempt to execute. People could post messages that would cause everyone who moused over it to crash.

Actually it's worse than that. We were messing around with this yesterday with my friendgroup and actually some people had to completely delte league and redownload it altogether. some had to restart the pc altogether because it would malfunction too. wtaff

[realSer]

Can't believe league got its own version of "curse of Ra 𓀀 𓀁 𓀂 𓀃 𓀄 𓀅 𓀆 𓀇 𓀈 𓀉 𓀊 𓀋 𓀌 𓀍 𓀎 𓀏 𓀐 𓀑 𓀒 𓀓 𓀔 𓀕 𓀖𓀗 𓀘 𓀙 𓀚 𓀛 𓀜" that could break the game, what a timeline we are in

[generalv.]

The same happened with iPhones a few years back. When you sent a certain symbol via whatsapp. Iphone would crash and shut down

[Sollaryo]

Riot when making ahri skin:
*unlimited power*

Riot when chat message is killing the game:
*I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that*

[june]

Curse of dog was just nasus withering your PC

[dmachine]

and these are the people with kernel level access to our PC's

[thekilleryellowduck]

They type in chat:"english or Spanish"

[dreyreis]

If Riot were a serious company, they would have used the money from Faker's package to fix this bizarre source code (which, by the way, was leaked months ago).

[thlegioner]

Wow, this way everyone mutes themselves, no toxicity, no flaming. Smart move Riot, smart move...

[nublockswest]

So this is how Nasus curses someone if they waltz through his library without permission.

Jokes on them, I play ranked in party chat only mode now
