[Gameplay] Essence Flux applies ally's Aery to Ezreal.

In the normal SR game I just played, myself (Janna) and my duo (Ezreal) noticed a strange bug as we were running down lane and he W'd me. My Summon Aery procced upon receiving the bonus attack speed, and shielded him. During the remainder of the match we tested it out a few more times when opportunity arose, and sure enough, after Aery had returned to me and a small delay had occurred, whenever he used Essence Flux on me, Aery flew to him.

This seems to me like it can't be intended and is probably a coding error regarding how the game treats the shared Essence Flux buff.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Have an Ezreal
  2. Have a Janna (or potentially? other champion) with Summon Aery
  3. Have Ezreal cast Essence Flux on the Janna and/or other Summon Aery teammate
  4. Watch Aery betray your commands! [zombie-brand-mindblown]

It's late so we haven't had the opportunity to test this out with other champions and Ezreal to see if it applies to all Summon Aery runes, so not certain on that mark.

What the...that's crazy. I think what's going on here is because he's getting a stack of his passive off you specifically. Like you said, it must be some coding thing going on here. Maybe it considers getting a stack off of you as a personal spellcast (but under covers of course).
