Nidus Is *Infested* With Bugs

[Vyrn]

ha..ha..

no but seriously

Whenever Nidus consumes a stack to proc Undying, he's cursed with several extremely terrible bugs that last until he properly dies. Note: all of these were witnessed as client both in P2P matches and in server-hosted matches. I have not tested as host, though.

1. All visual indicators of buffs and debuffs are lost. No timers show up on the HUD, and Nidus does not start flashing yellow/blue/white if he gets knocked down or impaired. Similarly, cold procs (and presumably other procs) do not display any visual effects on him.

2. The innate Handspring (recovery speed) frames have in Conclave is lost. Nidus' recovery suddenly takes excruciatingly long, making getting knocked down incredibly costly.

3. The innate Anticipation effect is lost, as is any effect from the mod itself. Nidus can then be juggled by repeated knockdowns, which, coupled with issue #2, means he has no way to fight back against melee or certain abilities.

Against someone who is both aware of and willing to exploit these bugs, Nidus is completely unplayable.

Edit: I'm not sure if it's intended or not, but standing in your own Ravenous "swamp" does not increase your health regeneration. If this is not a bug and it is actually working as intended, the ability description should be updated. Actually, both Virulence and Nidus' passive also need their descriptions updated.

Here's a gfycat to display bugs #2 and #3 

This Nidus has the mod Anticipation equipped - but once a stack is consumed, the innate and the mod no longer apply
