[Gameplay] Viktor R disappearing when Viktor dies as of patch 7.3 2/22/2017

Today (as in 2/22/2017) I tested in the practice tool whether Viktor's ult still goes away early (instead of the full 6.5 seconds) when he dies.

To do this I took Viktor and let a turret kill me multiple times and cast my ult before the last shot kills me. Viktors ult would then fizzle out (disappear) about .5 - 1 seconds after he dies (similar to say Yorick and his ultimate which doesn't instantly die when Yorick dies).

This has not been the way he works in the past. In the past Viktor's ultimate would cease moving but still remain on the field for its whole duration when Viktor died. This bug can and has caused me to lose kills (such as betting on my ultimate to trade deaths) and also can lose Viktor and his team some useful damage and zoning in teamfights. I posted about this a few weeks ago and got no response from Riot and I also do not see any mention of this in the patch notes for 7.4. Hope something can be done soon for the Machine Herald.
