Lux - E ability stopped working (remainder of game)

While playing in a teamfight, I launched an E into a group of players and activated it to explode on landing(new in patch). I died in the middle of this and upon spawning, my E no longer worked. Clicking it made it say "This ability can't be cast right now" or something like that.

I attempted to alt+f4 and then reconnect, the ability was still unable to cast for the rest of the game. That was incredibly limiting.

Hopefully I don't run into this again. Are there any log files I could submit or save in the future if this does happen?

It's a Bug that has been getting a lot of attention lately with Lux, and for the exact reason you explained in your Lux's game.

If Lux double taps her 'E' key to make the ability explode on landing, but Lux dies while it's in flight, it causes (on respawn) the game to think that your E still needs to be triggered to explode, thus displaying it costs 0 Mana. The game continues to think your E needs to be triggered to explode for the remainder of the game.

Riot will likely disable Lux soon.
