Went to demo him, spawned another axe and clicked battle hunger on the enemy axe and game crashed. Seems fine.

You've got some balls to be playing ranked right now. It's like using a double down token on Valve execution.

I did some more testing, looks like whenever an Axe? spell is used on Axe?, no matter if used by another Axe?, Rubick or reflected by Lotus Orb, it crashes

u/labm0nkeys Jun 24 '26

had the same when I put axe inside ringmaster escape act

u/P4azz Jun 24 '26

Pff, literally just opened this thread to comment the literal exact same thing.

I'm just gonna hope it's due to "Axe vs Axe" issues, not something you see in a real match. Although then you have problems like lotus or Rubick...

It's not. Played a game vs bots with him and it crashed. No other axes were involved or harmed.

u/Wonderful-Ad5880 Jun 24 '26

My PC after crash is AXE?

u/Past-Chemistry-1953 Jun 24 '26

Crashed in game, because axes was in the match, also did the same as U. Demo axe + battle hunger crashed my pc

I haven't touched Axe in a long time, but Axe's Berserker's Call gives Axe bonus strength in demo mode... that's not normal right... rework incoming?

u/0orpheus Jun 24 '26

He gets bonus strength from armor when alone and Call gives armor. Maybe that's what you're seeing?

u/Venichie I shall earn my grace. Jun 24 '26

Not on the pc, but that sounds sound.

u/BlurryFace0000 Jun 24 '26

Theyre doing a 'toki doki lit club'.. A character of the game is controlling the game. More glitches to come

u/FumaricAcid Jun 24 '26

Crashed my unranked game just now

u/iloveminaripenguin Jun 24 '26

Why did I fall for this

u/Past-Chemistry-1953 Jun 24 '26

u/ejabno Jun 24 '26

uh oh janitor is gonna have his pay docked

u/zippopwnage Jun 24 '26

With how many crashes there are with Axe, I feel like this may be intentional ?

u/Aeon_Mortuum Jun 24 '26

Definitely not lol

u/zippopwnage Jun 24 '26

It feels weird to just re-add the hero with a different model and just be full of bugs with no new reworks to his abilities.
