[Over 3 year old bug still in game] GA bug exposed by Trynd Ult intereaction
RIOT, you need to fix this. It's really annoying to get a 4 second suppress , sorry stasis, from GA during ult. It cancels both my ult and my GA in one go. Please make it so GA doesn't trigger till your at exactly 0 hp. Worse part is this bug actually affects everyone (explained below), just not in the same degree as with Trynd.
From searching I could find that the first report of this was made 3 years ago, there was a post about it in the Gameplay forum 1 year ago and a second report 3 months ago. I believe the reason this hasn't been reported more often is because it's rare for Trynd players to build GA, especially the older version, and with other champions one wouldn't notice that GA actually triggered before actual death.
THIS BUG AFFECTS EVERYONE: The video shows that there is a fault with how GA works. As you can see in the video this player had 135 hp when GA triggered. This alone is a problem before dying the player using GA might have landed a killing blow and not died allowing him to keep GA for a later moment. In this same example, even if the player using GA would die after the killing blow, since the trigger happened before actual death stopping that last hit, the killing blow would have never occurred and the enemy would get 4 seconds to run away, and even worse for back up to arrive. Turning a 1 for 1 worst case scenario into a death.
Also, this is something that should be verified in the case of Aatrox, Anivia and Zac passives, as well as Zilean ult. If these are also triggering before actual death then the players in fight potential is being reduced. That player might have had the time to use an extra item or ability that could potentially turn the fight around in it's or it's team's favor.
