Basically, Malzahar's E is not bouncing if it "kills" a champion who has a "I'm not dead yet!" passive. So far I've noticed it with Karthus, Zyra and Kog'Maw. I know the game doesn't recognise these characters as dead until their respective passives have been used, but it's a bit naff getting a kill in a teamfight and not have the space aids bounce around because one of these champions happened to be in the game.
Fix pls?
Sailor Mint5 votesThat's how all reseting abilities work.

Old Man Teeto8 votesIf Kha'zix kills Sion and puts him into his death status, he gets his reset on the kill not when the passive ends.
Malzahar E fizzling likely has something to do with why the bug of DoT's "double killing" these champions.
(Infamous is Brand passive getting a double kill on Karthus or Kog'maw) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77dVQUV2akk
Jungle Lux God7 votesI think that is something specific to Sion, as the other champs with on-death passives have deaths that are not triggered until the on-death passive ends, while Sion's ends when he initially dies. This is evident with his death timers: the others start when they die after passive, while Sion's death timer starts when he initially dies and applies his passive. If you die at level 1, try to farm some minions or attack enemy champs, then see your death timer. You are dead for, like, 1 second, and then you respawn.

Wheatloaf5 votesThey've fixed stuff like this before. Getting it attention like this will hopefully bring us a fix.
pro crastinat0r6 votesThey've fixed stuff like this before... on new champs. GL getting their attention to help out the museum piece called Malzahar.
Wheatloaf1 votesHe's had an update to his Voidling AI along with some QoL changes for his Q and Ult within about the last year; they know he's here.
RiotMeddler5 votesThe failure to bounce there is not working as intended, thanks for pointing that out. We'll look into that one, at a guess it's probably just an oversight we can now correct. Back in the day when Malzahar was created by contrast we didn't have many options for interacting with zombie states (champs that are dead, but still able to do stuff temporarily).
Gear Kitty1 votesIt pleases me that you guys call it the Zombie state.

Thank you for proving me wrong. Maybe.... riot does care???????
