Keeping buff after execute doesn't work if you kill it with DoT after death

  • Type of Bug: In Game Bug

  • Description: When you fight a red/blue buff in the jungle and get executed, you should keep your buffs since 4.20. However, if you kill the buff after death (easy to reproduce with Malzahar E, other DoT f.e. red buff), you don't have the buff after your death, however the large jungle monster is dead.

  • Video / Screenshot: -

  • Steps to reproduce:

  1. Pick Malzahar in champ select (works with every champ with red buff/other DoT, Malzahar is easy).
  2. Buy Hunters Machete and 2 health pots, level W
  3. Go to Krugs, kill with smite, go to Red Buff, kill, go to Blue Buff (other clear routes are possible, this is relatively easy). Level E second.
  4. Attack Blue Buff, attack buff until Blue buff he is nearly dead, press S.
  5. Wait until you are nearly dead and place E on blue buff.
  6. You get executed and after your death, Blue buff dies (CS score goes up, you see the gold added)
  • Expected result: You respawn with blue buff, because of the 4.20 changes

  • Observed result: You respawn without blue buff

  • Reproduction rate: 10/10

  • System specs: not relevant.

That's because you didn't have the buff already. Now whether they intend for anyone executed in jungle to ALWAYS secure the buff they were fighting, whether gained prior or after death, is unknown. But just like you can't use item actives after you're dead(ever Zhonya's Hourglassed your corpse on accident? Yeah me neither), you can't gain buffs/debuffs.

Same problem in my last game. I had Golds but not the buff.

Pretty sure it’s intended, not a bug.
