Purdue OWL: Subject/Verb Agreement

In Kled's champion reveal: http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/champion-reveal-kled-cantankerous-cavalier, it says (actually this is a highlighted quote, so it says this twice), "You disengage from Kled when either he or you is dead."

According to Purdue (who are close enough to the gods Strunk and White as makes no difference), a compound subject takes the verb form that agrees with the closer subject. Therefore, it should be "You disengage from Kled when either he or you are dead" or "... when either you or he is dead" (the latter being the more common phrasing).

I hate publicly schooling Riot in its native language... but the Support ticketing system doesn't have an option for me to tell them about localization issues and other print-based bugs that occur (nudgenudge WINKWINK). (Also, the last few patch notes have had a few similar errors - not sure if the quality-check folks are struggling or if it's an issue on a writer to writer basis.)

tl;dr: Typo in champion release - would be great to have a feedback/bugs section specifically for Riot's web-based content (such as patch notes and reveals).
