Malzahar Malefic Vision Doesn't Cast But Goes On Cooldown. [GAMEPLAY]

I was playing Malzahar last night, and I noticed a weird interaction when I tried to use Malefic Vision (E ability) on a minion as it died. The ability went on cool down, but the Malefic Vision did not spawn (there were other minions nearby to jump to), and it did not trigger a voidling spawn (was at full stacks, so it should have spawned one). I didn't notice if the mana cost was used or not. I have not gotten a chance to try and replicate the bug yet, but the steps to try and replicate it would be.

  1. Play Malzahar.
  2. Level up E.
  3. Wait for a minion to get to low health.
  4. Try and time the casting of your E on a minion as it dies.

I am a Malzahar main and I can attest that this "bug" is true. I don't know if the problem is that the minion dies while E is still during it's cast time animation; therefore, the ability goes on cool down.

I think this is a bug because it's not like someone interrupted you during cast time, it's just that the minion died during the cast time so you should not be penalized with a full cool down for this.

If you didn't use the ability and no one interrupted you, the ability should not go on cool down. Why should you pay mana and cool down time for something that was not used?

I hope Riot looks into this, it happens quite often in my games.
