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:

  1. Play Karthus
  2. Die a few times and attempt to spam Q
  3. 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.

This is generally (or always) the second q during your passive, for some reason.

Bump. The bug still remains and it is extremely frustrating to constantly miss out on kills due to it.
