There's something going on over the last 2 days. I don't know if this is a new hack out there or what, but I have had several games now where I'll be playing as Krul and his Spectral Smite does NO DAMAGE against an enemy. This happened during one game yesterday where the entire game I couldn't land a single SS. I would build up several stacks, watch the animation and see my cool down timer start, but there'd be no damage inflicted. Not only that, but I wouldn't get any lifesteal. I figured that game was a fluke. But then, this same thing happened in 2 different games today. Build stacks, execute attack (with animation shown), no damage and no lifesteal. On top of that, the last team I just played beat my team 17-0 in the 12th minute. We got creamed.

These misses were happening throughout the game, from early on and into the late game. I looked at the enemy I was attacking and would not see any Reflex Block or Aegis, many of these instances were early game before there was even time to build up good equipment.

I've been playing for awhile now. I have 244 wins, Skill Tier "Pretty Good" with 20 Karma. I'm not a noob and would say I am above average. I primarily play as Krul and have never seen this till recently. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, people experienced this but it was not referenced as bug but as connection problem with your wi-fi. I sometimes experience it too with Catherine when my stun does not hit. I activate Merciless Pursuit and yet I my character stops in front of ennemy, walking with him as I click on him, until the stun can't hit anymore. Some Glaive players said so too with their Afterburn where their Stun doesn't hit. You might say that Spectral Smite isn't a stun but apparently it has a scheme similar to these too abilities. My advice would be to restart your wi-fi box, make sure you're close to it when you play and finally that no other applications are running on your Iphone/Ipad background.

If this still doesn't work, I advise you to adress this problem on the main Vainglory forum where developpers can directly answer you if they are online, at least some other players :

I'll keep looking there. Thanks! Odd for it to be a connection issue since there is no lag anywhere in the game, only has to do with the Spectral Smite. No freezing, lock-up or delay. Game plays a smooth as always and these aren't in moments just before death. It'll be mid-battle and even after the skirmish is over still left wondering how come the attack doesn't register. I'll head over to the link you suggested.

I have great internet (~120mbps on my 6+) and usually play about 2 feet from my router, and I've experienced this a few times. I've also had Dead Man's Rush stop short of the enemy as well, meaning the heroic perk didn't activate because I was too far for a basic attack. Sh** happens I guess haha.
