New Phoenix Bug

B-Roll on Twitter recently brought a bug to Riot's attention.

He says, "@RiotZiegler @RiotNu When I ult with Phoenix and plant, if I don't get the plant off and go back to my body, as soon as I step onto the site it auto plants. Have been able to reproduce in custom. Have to hit 4 again to stop. Gets kinda hectic in a fight :] Dunno if intentional!"

It seems the glitch isn't affecting the majority of players currently, so hopefully it stays that way until fixed.
