Yup, for some reason any turret, minion, monster, champion can apply the Elder BURN buff to yourself when they attack you while invulnerable while holding the buff yourself. This buff will trigger the Elder Spell onto yourself if you're low enough, but the spell has a check at some point that prevents it from killing off a friendly target. Or self, dunno.

However the BURN DOT itself does 25 damage to you when you're no longer invulnerable, and that can even kill you, much like the Caitlyn Empowered Headshot/Energized thing a few months ago! I believe u/vandirilol has footage to do a video about this current case once he's no longer on holidays.

So while the spectacle of Elder's Spell executing oneself is prevented, applying the Elder burn to oneself still damages you and shouldn't be happening in the first place. I believe the bug may have been introduced when Riot was making sure the buff can be applied to invulnerable people (that part's intended), but that's just guessing at this point.

I wonder if u/Rovient is aware of this bug?

Edit: Added screenshot showcasing the death recap when you kill yourself with this bug and no enemy gets the kill credit.

I'm NOW aware of it, thanks to you! Cheers for this. 😊
