Before I started writing this post, I did a quick search for just about every combination of “league of legends health bar bug” that I could. I figured my own problem would be at the top of the heap, but it seems a lot of people have a lot of strange bugs regarding health bars in League of Legends.

I’ve seen the bug that makes an ally health bar stretch across the screen, but other than that I’ve been bug free…until now. I’ve been having a bug since (as far as I remember) the Vayne patch that causes enemy health bars to not update with their health count. It only happens on occasion, but when it does it’s extremely frustrating. The bug is simply that the health bar over an enemy player’s head sometimes does not update to accurately reflect the amount of health a player has. This is extremely problematic in the early game, when players sometimes don’t buy early health items. I roll in thinking the player has 7-800 health, when in reality they’ll have 12-1300. Big difference. I’m starting to catch on, but the health bar system is so ingrained in my playstyle now that I’m having trouble remembering not to fight certain targets. The bug also happens infrequently enough that I forget about it, but only until I get smoked by someone I was sure I would be able to kill.

Anyone else suffering from the same bug?
