[GAMEPLAY] Zac Ultimate Goes on CD when he Dies During Cast

When one plays as Zac, they might sometimes try using his Ultimate, Let's Bounce, right before death. If Zac dies before the he jumps up, the ability will still go on cool down, even though it was not cast. Even if there were enemies in-range, they will not not take damage and will not be knocked back. I believe this a bug because Jinx's Ultimate worked a similar way upon release, but was patched so it would not go on cool down if she died during the cast time. Steps:

  1. Get low health while playing Zac.
  2. Wait until an enemy is about to deliver a fatal blow.
  3. Use Zac's Ultimate, Let's Bounce, a split-second before the damage occurs.
  4. Die I have replicated this bug in a custom game 3 times by using Let's Bounce around minions while dying to tower. It occurred 100% of the time. Items and skins don't seem to affect the outcome. Currently, it can be avoided by not using the Ultimate right before death, but if a spell is not cast, one would not expect it to go on cool down.

This happens more then you think it would. It happens to me roughly once a day over 6 games. It cost me kills in many occasions because my ultimate went on cooldown (even though it did nothing). If you want video of the bug in action, I have tons of videos of Zac here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoaa952xwLtCsC0VPEfCMGQ. It wouldn't take too long to find an instance of this happening.
