[GAMEPLAY] Zyra can use trinket after death instead of her passive

After death, Zyra's passive is supposed to allow her to use any of her leveled abilities to shoot a "vengeful thorn," but a couple days ago, I accidentally pressed '4' instead of 'R' after dying. To my surprise, it actually used my trinket instead of her passive. (See the attached video, which shows someone repro-ing this exact bug almost a year ago. Apparently this bug has been around a while.) I was able to repro this bug 100% of the time with all three basic trinkets (as well as upgraded trinkets) via the following steps:

  1. Die (it doesn't matter how)
  2. Press '4' (or whatever your trinket cast button is)
  3. Left click within the trinket's range
  4. The trinket will be used like normal, and you will lose the ability to use Zyra's intended passive

Zyra's passive can be game changing in an evenly matched teamfight. Luckily for me, this bug didn't lose us the game, but in another situation, it could have. Please disable Zyra's trinket upon death (like all other active items are). Thanks!

From what I gather this seems beneficial because often times zyra will have nothing to shoot or the target is hyper mobile/full hp with lifesteal, so being able to drop a trink is a small consolation prize :P

thanks for sharing I didn't know this was possible.
