[Gameplay] Karthus Q Bug (Easy Fix Serious Problem)

As a Karthus main, I noticed this bug and it is happening a few times every game I play him. (Missed 3 Kills because of it last game ) . This is how it happens: Karthus casts Q - Lay Waste before it explodes, within the 0.5 seconds casting time, Karthus reaches 0 hp and Death Defied activates. the casted Lay Waste does not explode and does not deal damage. This bug also happens in a similar way at the end of Death Defied, but not always.

  • Karthus is defying death
  • Karthus casts a Q - Lay Waste
  • before it explodes, within the 0.5 seconds casting time, the duration of Death Defied ends.
  • the casted Lay Waste does in some cases not explode and does not deal damage.

So basically, when karthus transitions from alive>dead or dead>really dead any Q's that are cast but havent finished casting are canceled. This is a pretty big deal for a champion designed around dying.

Lets say you are dueling someone and right before you die you place a perfect Q to finish your opponent. As soon as you die the Q is cancelled even if it was cast before your death.

Would appreciate it if you guys could fix this bug

Also I would like to add that when karthus transitions to death defied there is a cast time delay- so he cannot cast a q in those precious few seconds after changing forms and any Q cast slightly before death is cancelled. Riot Fix this!!!! So many noobs getting away on the last cast.

This happens to everyone, not just Karthus and it's super annoying, i've missed many kills as Cassiopeia because I died, I saw my E clearly about to hit the enemy Ziggs, I died right before it did and it just disappeared, doing no damage despite the animations showing it already casted

If this happens to me again I am committing suicide.
