[GAMEPLAY] Elixir of Iron Duration Icon Running during Death Timer/Respawn Wait

TokuHer0··2 votes·1,175 views

Playing as Malphite in a Dynamic Queue Draft game. Bought an Elixir of Iron during the death timer with 6 items in inventory. Noticed that the duration indicator icon was running before I respawned at fountain. This occurred once more later in the game when I bought another Elixir of Iron to refresh the timer I had on an Elixir of Iron I had active.

Item Build at Time of 1st Occurrence of Bug: Ninja Tabi (with Distortion), Sunfire Cape, Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, chain vest, cloth armor. Item Build at Time of 2nd Occurence of Bug: Ninja Tabi (with Distortion), Sunfire Cape, Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, Thornmail, Seeker's Armguard

Not sure if it is a visual bug or if the timer is actually running. Did not wait for the timer to run out before buying another elixir to test.

Also unsure if:

  • will occur if bought with less than six items and then consumed
  • occurs only with Elixir of Iron
  • occurs only with Malphite

Follow-up:

Just played a custom game as Malphite recreating w/ same item build. duration icon again ran during the death timer/respawn wait. Also let the timer run out, the elixir ended about 20s earlier than it was supposed to (Elixir bought at 29:30, effect ended at 33:10). Also tested with Elixir of Sorcery

Elixir of Sorcery also had the indicator running, but it seemed to last about 1 minute longer than supposed to (Bought 40:08, effect wore off 44:08); I took screenshots to log the time stamps.

Not sure if it is a visual bug or if the timer is actually running. Did not wait for the timer to run out before buying another elixir to test.

Also unsure if:

  • will occur if bought with less than six items and then consumed
  • occurs only with Elixir of Iron
  • occurs only with Malphite

Conclusions Drawn:

  • Not a visual bug. Elixir duration is running during death timers
  • Not limited to Elixir of Iron

Further Bug:

  • Elixir of Sorcery Possibly running longer than intended

Further Follow-Up:

Went back and read the 6.1 Patch Notes. "Can now be purchased while dead if your inventory is full (duration is increased by the amount left on your respawn timer)"

This is a NOT A BUG

Recommendation: Duration icon does not start running until respawn is complete (for clarity)
