Many, many, many kills missed because of this ONE glitch
Please do something about it. I know Karthus is underplayed but that shouldn't mean we are neglected...
Usually, it's the 2nd Q that doesn't work. So instead of getting, say, 3 q's on an opponent before they escape your passive, you get one q, and then nothing happens at all for ~3 seconds while you spam the Q button. Then once they are long-gone, you can suddenly cast Q's again.
After dying, but before Karthus' passive ends, Lay waste (Q) often goes on cooldown without triggering. It will happen once or twice per game I play with him, and often costs a kill. I assumed it was just me, until I've noticed the popular streamer PhantomL0rd commenting on the same issue on stream.
Steps to recreate:
- Play Karthus
- Die a few times and attempt to spam Q
- Notice sometimes it casts the first time, but repeatedly goes on cooldown instead of firing again.
As a player who mains Karthus, this has been a very noticible and problematic issue for me. RITO PLZ fix. It is very noticeable now that immediately on death lay waste can often not be used for a second or two for no particular reason. Additionally at some point Karthus was changed so that if you try to use a Lay Waste during the passive when he's immobile out past it's maximum range NOTHING happens. What it did in the past and SHOULD do is place a skittle at the maximum range in the direction of the cursor. These two issues have really degraded the effectiveness of Karthus post death for me.
