This happened to me a couple of times where I would buy an item and then my gold would glitch out and be at a negative amount i.e -1973613 Rendering me unable to buy anything.

If anyone has had this problem please upvote this or reply.

EDIT: Reproduction
1. destroy a turret or inhibitor (try both)
2. buy different items from the shop
3. It will possibly give you a negative amount.

I do not have any screenshots as of now because the PBE is down at the moment

Any screenshots? I have no problems with the shop yet. Maybe i could try to glitch it and see the cause.

Wait, so let me make sure I understand Final Hours -

You kill a turret or inhibitor, use the earned gold to buy and item, and after you buy the item the number drops into massive negatives, but isn't actually negatives - its just a visual bug?

Or is it actually negative and you cannot purchase anything?

And does it only occur after you purchase something, or does it happen after you kill the tower/inhibitor? Because this may/probably is related to the old -2 billion gold bug found here: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=3150144

Let me know your in-game summoner name too, if that's alright, so that I can watch your replay and see what you're talking about!

I am unable to reproduce this, I think you are referring to the bug that WerwolfTrey linked. When did this last happen?

Seeing as how there's a red already on here, I get FPS drops when buying items and multiple potions and such from the shop. Any thoughts on this?

its a visual bug when you buy something after earning gold, it will go massively negative then it goes to what you have,

I've seen this bug on live a few times. I think it was during periods of high latency or server problems. The gold in the shop would not update quick enought to the correct amount so you would see negative gold but then would update to the correct amount after a few seconds. So it's just a visual bug and doesn't actually affect your buying or actual gold amount.

This happens to me on live quite a bit. It seems to fix itself after a few seconds though.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the PBE since the Equalize change, where destroying or assisting on destroying a turret can randomly give you negative 2 billion gold. Happened to 4 people on my team, 3 on the enemies...most hated glitch I've ever known...

I have seen something like this on live for some time, where when you buy several items in short succession it temporarily shows double charging for one or more of the items, but corrects itself rather quickly and doesn't seem to actually block purchases.
