I have noticed a bug in JQ mirrors that forces you to recall your knife extremely early. I’ve tried testing it in custom games but can’t seem to get the bug to happen. Its really annoying as its made me miss countless guaranteed knives and potential kills. I’m surprised no one has picked up on the bug. Maybe its a recent thing but since I’ve come back in season 15 its happens in pretty much every JQ mirror. This video is from before the mid season patch but it still happening after the patch.
JQ Knife Bug
UPDATE: I have discovered the cause of the bug. The other JQs rending recall bleed refresh forces you to recall your blade. The forced recall seems to stick around for 5 seconds after the refreshed bleed stops. Since the effect stays for around 8 second and the knife cooldown is 6 seconds, the enemy Junker queen could potentially permanently cripple your blade if they hit you with every knife throw
