This particular glitch occurs during Teamfight Tactics\u2019 initial shared draft round, allowing players to bug into the golden circle and pick their Champion from the middle carousel ahead of everyone else, ultimately giving them better priority for a top pick. The bug can be achieved by clicking inside of the circle right as the match begins, giving users a leg up on the opposition: a \u201ctactic\u201d that Pokimane employed during a stream on July 9. \u201cI did it!\u201d she exclaimed after pulling off the glitch. \u201cIt\u2019s so I get pick earlier before everyone else. I\u2019m so good at this game, dude! I\u2019ve done this bug so many times.\u201d While Pokimane was amused at being able to exploit the glitch, commenters across the net were divided on the morality of the situation, with some arguing that she is effectively cheating by abusing the bug. \u201cThis is why we can\u2019t have nice things,\u201d another said. \u201cAt every turn, you try to take advantage over the others. Pathetic.\u201d However, some viewers argue that the bug is free game until developers fix the issue, with some even claiming that abuse will give developers more data on the glitch to better resolve the matter. \u201c\u2026You can sit there and say \u2018don\u2019t use bugs, it\u2019s cheating\u2019 all day, but at the end of the day in a competitive environment, players will use all of their resources to secure the win, including exploits,\u201d one user wrote. Some viewers noted the unfairness with which Pokimane is treated regarding her gameplay, pointing out that if Forsen had used such a glitch, he would be praised for it. Pokimane has yet to address her use of the bug via her social media accounts as of the publication of this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pokimane accused of \u2018cheating\u2019 after exploiting Teamfight Tactics bug Popular League of Legends\u2019 Autobattler mode \u2018Teamfight Tactics.\u2019 Riot unleashed their Teamfight Tactics Autobattler mode in mid-June, giving a breath of fresh air to their classic battle arena title League of Legends \u2013 but it seems that a unique bug might be overturning the competition.
