Elixirs Start On Purchase EVEN IF YOU ARE DEAD

Why not? The time that you are dead is added to the duration, so you still get the full 3 minutes of elixir time when you respawn. It just saves a bit of time. What's wrong with this?

It wasn't like that before until it changed at some point not on purpose though.

it was like that from shit ton of time?

It's intended to do this. The time it was running while you were dead gets added to it's duration when you re-spawn.

If you are dead when you purchase it, it adds your remaining death timer to the duration.
