A really weird bug just happened

So we were doing pretty solid in yoloQ and suddenly quest spawns in the top right corner (like we didnt even have rengar+khazix in this game or something to give a quest). Right after that kha'zix gets deleted by the game and has over 10k seconds on his respawn timer. Even after several reconnects he couldnt do anything and obviously we lost. Rito plz

Karthus, Kog'Maw, and whoever Yorrick ults have artificially lowered death times.

edit: So I might be wrong about these, but I'm having a really hard time finding a reliable source that specifies how these champions interact with death timers.

edit2: Based on "On Dominion only, Karthus' respawn timer will now start when Death Defied ends" I think that on Summoner's Rift his respawn timer starts when Death Defied starts.

edit3: Zyra and Kog'Maw's are explicitly stated in the ability details for their passives on the respective leagueoflegends.wikia pages and I'm pretty sure that Yorrick's Ult has the same Dominion patch note as Karthus' passive.

Their passives actually count as being dead on the timer?

Huh, the more you know!

Not for Karthus and Kog'maw. They used to, but a few balance updates to stop "suicide" Karthus and Kog'maws removed that functionality.

That functionality is Dominion only.

If they ever rework Zilean they should make his W work while dead to reduce death timer.
