There have always been annoying bugs in League of Legends, but few of them are as difficult to fix as the bugs that affect experience points.

Summoners have reportedly discovered a new glitch that occurs after a player accidentally purchases the jungle item while the game is starting. The League player can redeem the item without leaving the fountain, but it will be too late as they will now receive less experience points for the rest of the match due to the bug. However, this only affects those who take Smite and use it in a non-jungle role.

For example, in the complaint on the League subreddit, the player was supposed to be playing top lane, but accidentally took Smite as their secondary summoner spell. They bought the jungling item out of habit, but when they returned the item, the rest of their game was ruined. Some players also take Smite as part of a unique strategy in other lanes, meaning this could become a bigger problem.

This bug can also be easily reproduced by bringing Smite into a game, purchasing the jungle item, and refunding it. Luckily for players, Riot Games has already spotted the bug in the same League subreddit thread, meaning there could be a fix for the glitch in an upcoming patch.
