[GAMEPLAY] Lux Ult Deals No Damage When Killed During Animation (Ult Finishes And Goes On Cooldown)
On Lux, when casting your ultimate, if you are killed part way through the animation, far enough along that the animation finishes once you are dead AND the ability goes on cooldown, your ult does no damage. The ult fires seemingly as normal, but there's just no damage.
- Cast ultimate that will hit an enemy
- Have that enemy kill you over halfway but not entirely through ult animation, your ult should go on CD.
This phenomenon of finishing the cast animation and going on CD but doing no damage is a rare scenario since it requires a precise death timing, but it has occurred every time I notice ult going on CD after dying mid cast. I have died during mid cast before but the animation doesn't finish and your ult doesn't go on CD. The champion I most recently noticed this with was Syndra, and she did not have an item such as a banshee's veil that would have entirely blocked the spell. This has happened on the Star Guardian skin and i'm not sure if it applies to any other skins, I only use SG. I don't have a video, but i can describe it-
fight near red side blue buff on pathway to river NOT adjacent to tribush. Syndra flashes over the wall from somewhere near tribush, Q's, W's (picking up the sphere she just made), and R's. I (Lux) Q, E1, and R at the same time Syndra is performing the aforementioned actions, but i die to syndra R while my R is casting, and the bug occurs.
