Vaal Arctic Armour MAJOR BUG - 20+ T17 maps lost so far.

I am not sure if the patch did this but every single time I use Vaal Arctic Armor on a t17 boss, the game freezes and crashes and steals my map. As this is early league this is really starting to become unacceptable.

I tried to pull the logs but it does not really say anything

I can however post a video of it happening a bunch of times.

Hi good evening,

I just checked to see if anyone else has the same problem, at least that's positive news, maybe it will be fixed soon if the error occurs in more than one person and I'm sure there are more than just us two, most people just think it's too silly to run to the forum...
for me is even worse, the image freezes no matter where it is, whether it's a normal map or a boss, it doesn't even have to be t17 for me, it just crashes all the time and everywhere.

kind regards, please fix it.

PS: PC is brand new ryzen 7 7800x3d with 4080 super, and the rest is also Champions League so that is definitely not the reason to make that clear right from the start, but of course I am happy to be corrected, help us !

I have also had this bug, it is repeatable for me. I was testing Vaal Arctic Armour in a breachstone. I held the move command for the duration of the Vaal Arctic Armour, and as soon as the 5 seconds were over, the game immediately crashed. I then launched another Breachstone, tried exactly the same thing, and the game crashed once again, right as the Vaal Arctic Armour effect ended.
