Was playing SR Pyke, ultimate on cooldown, about 10s left on timer, suddenly enemy healthbars were highlighted as if my ult was available. Ulted the ground next to me and it went off. Had plenty of time, so did verify that R was still on cooldown before I triggered it. Was at 30 or 40% CDR, and was using Ultimate Hunter Rune. Will look for video but I've forgotten which game it was.
This is an old/known bug. The "bug" is in the user interface showing that R isn't ready when it actually is, the skill itself is coming off cooldown correctly.
To reproduce it 100%(my method, but it may occur other times/other methods):
At lvl 10 Use R to get a reset(kill or enemy dying in R) Hit lvl 11 during the reset period Skill up R during the reset period Let reset expire When the cooldown comes back around, the UI will show the R cooldown coming back AS IF you only had 1 point in ultimate(lvl 10) but the actual ability will be able to be used at the correct time(rank 2 ult lvl 11), and you will be able to see Red health bars/Ult threshold.
once you know the bug exists, you just have to remind yourself to trust the health bars and NOT your UI, I guess until riot fixes it.
Source: I have the highest pyke mastery on the NA server
This bug happens to me a lot.
I've noticed it happens more often when using Presence of Mind, although it's happened to me when using Ultimate Hunter as well. It also doesn't show up in replays, it's just a UI bug.
Same thing happened here in an ARAM, Pyke's R was on CD but I managed to use that and I could see the glowing health bar effect as the ulti was already recharged.
