I've been playing since Season 3, and there's def been some ridiculous bugs. It's gotten better over time, but the spaghetti code and 'coded as a minion' memes are still just as popular as ever. To be honest I think this is the first time I've seen someone that plays LoL not call it a buggy mess.

My personal favorites are when that update to Skarner broke Lux's ult (how are those related at all?) and when they first added the smite damage to the HUD which broke flash because the UI wasn't designed to display that data (flash's cooldown would get set to smite's damage as it's cooldown, or about 500 seconds early game).

One of their lead champion designers has even come out and said something along the lines that many champion's dashes are coded separately, even though a dash would be something pretty easy to reuse. I'm pretty sure the champion ability scripts are written by the champion designers and not formal engineers/programmer base on comments like this one and others I've seen on reddit from Riot's champion designers.
