League of Legends Rek Sai instakill or one-shot glitch acknowledged, fix in the works

In the world of e-sports, League of Legends is one of the biggest names. Developed and published by Riot Games, the game had more than 180 million players worldwide as of October 2021.

While the game itself is free-to-play, it monetizes by letting players buy cosmetics such as emotes and skins. Unsurprisingly, the developers frequently update the game by balancing characters or items or introducing new ones.

However, these updates often cause issues such as many being unable to log in on Mac after updating Riot Games client or Runes pages resetting or not saving.

That said, League of Legends players are now asking developers to disable Rek Sai since she is able to instakill or one-shot many champions, jungle camps and even baron (1,2,3,4,5).

And as if this wasn’t absurd enough, Rek Sai is also able to heal herself as well as her teammates. It looks like the problem has been affecting players for the last few days.

Players are also asking developers to ban those exploiting the glitch in ranked matches. Here are a few reports from League of Legends players asking developers to disable Rek Sai because of her ability to instakill others.

jo @RiotSupport can you please fix your game? This Rek´Sai was invisible for everyone, he oneshot every jungle monster (including herald, dragon, baron) and every champion. He was also able to randomly heal 100hp/sec on herald, etc etc…

@RiotSupport Hello! I recently had the pleasant experience to play with a rek sai BUG ABUSER in my last ranked game. You know the bug that people are talking about the last 5+ days? Are you going to make a statement about it? Maybe disable the champion until you fix it?

Thankfully, Riot Games Support has commented on the issue where Rek Sai is able to instakill enemies and is working on a fix. However, there is no ETA on when it will be fixed.
