[GAMEPLAY] Yorick omen spawn bug
I first encountered this bug after the large patch that updated the map. Occasionally Yorick’s omen ghouls will not spawn where they are supposed to. I have not noticed this with Q, only W and E (particularly E). You will be playing normally, using your abilities to harass, and for no apparent reason, your W or E ghoul will be far away from where your target location (enemy champ or minion for E, selected location for W).
I believe (but cannot confirm) that E will malfunction when your target is a champion with movement abilities like Zed and Gnar. I do not have an explanation for why Q will malfunction. I could not reproduce this bug if asked, although I am certain I could reproduce it in the normal course of a game (I can say that I have witnessed one instance of this bug occurrence, on average every two to three games).
On the most recent occurrence of this bug, I was top lane and went to E my enemy champ while they were to the far right of their blue-side tower (pressed up against the right-most wall). The ability went off, inflicting damage, but the ghoul spawned between the bottom-most and middle bush top lane bush (located in the absolute top left corner of the map). The ghoul just sat there without agro on anything, and I was denied the lifesteal that I would normally get from the ghoul attack. Unfortunately I cannot recall what champion I was laning against (although if I was forced to guess, I believe it was Zed).
On another instance, in a game prior to that I began chasing a Leona from blue-side jungle blue buff, north through Baron river, into purple-side tri-bush. I saved my W so that I would not lose vision on her when she entered Tri-bush. However, when I went to spawn my W, the ghoul appeared north and east of tri-bush (well out of range of the omen, so it was not player error). The slow effect did not occur on Leona (she happened to take the southern road out of ti-bush).
Thank you.
