[GAMEPLAY] Jinx no longer has a buff icon for active gun

Played Jinx in a ranked game this afternoon after patching and noticed that she no longer has the buff icon that shows whether she's using Pow-Pow or Fishbones. Her Q changed icon normally (showing the gun she isn't using), and the ability functioned fine. Is this an intended change? It made it harder to tell at a glance which gun you're on.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Pick Jinx
  2. Put a point into Q
  3. Note that Q works as normal but there's no buff icon there!

Just got done playing a match with her. Thought something was different, but couldn't pinpoint it; that was it.

Happened to me too. I dislike this change. Makes it easier to forget which gun I have up ... something I mess up often enough with the icons.

Happening to me too.

Jinx Thanks for posting this! The bug goes like this:

When you take the skill, you get the buff icon for Pow Pow. The first time you switch to Fishbones, the buff icon goes away, never to be seen again.

I was hoping the maintenance would fix this last night but alas, it did not. Still a very annoying problem.

I screw this up even with the icon, lol, but now the only good way to figure out which gun is active in the heat of battle is to test it out - please bring back the icon. Hopefully this was just an unintentional bug.

Same - i posted another topic on this, didn't realize there was already one. Would be great to see this fixed.
