Lux can apparently detonate her e while dead

I know that there is a window where you can press it and it will detonate as it lands, but this is ridiculous, it was half of the distance to me when she died. She didn't even have the indicator that she could detonate it, so this might be a bug. http://plays.tv/video/58fed3ba8329805c36/activating-abilties-after-youre-dead-balanced

If she had the ability que'd to detonate on landing, it makes sense that it would go off.

She couldn't queue it up because the e didn't travel far enough for her to queue up the detonation as it landed. If you pause it when she dies, she doesn't have the indicator on her hotbar that allows her to detonate it as it lands.

Like Gragas, You can Instantly press the ability again to make it so it detonates right when it lands.

Did you read the first sentence? I know that's how it works, but she couldn't detonate it as it landed because she died too quickly, so she didn't get the indicator on her hotbar that she could detonate it. and you cannot press it again instantly, you need to wait to just before it lands. Since you used the simile to Gragas, if you press q, then q against instantly, but die mid-animation, the barrel will still appear, but it won't explode.

How about you go test it in a custom yourself. Go in the practice tool and use the tower to execute you while your E is flying after double tapping it. If you won't listen to us give you an explanation go do it yourself.
