Here's what happened.
You can define specific zones to emit a texture or effect in a limited zone or way THAT is usually used to prevent texture glitches, these are called layer masks.
EDG Zoe's E uses a layer mask to have that galaxy texture only appear around the circle, but it happens to be in the same mask as Dark Cosmic Jhin's R.

It looks so good... if the feature widens the square to the whole jhin ult, this would be even more awesome

At Riot QG
"Sir, vandril found another bug"
"So...?"
"The players liked it"
"FIX IT NOW!!"

[realflukilp]

Vandiril: *wants to make a video about a bug
Riot Games: CHARGE MINIONS TO PREVENT HIM FROM THAT!!!

[thesilvanalyst]

How many bugs can you find in a day?
Vandiril: "YES"

[terozu]

That's actually really cool looking though lol.

You can find this bug on Senna and Mordekaiser as well. When using Senna's default skin and one of Mordekaiser's skins (I forget which) if he ults Senna her shroud suddenly becomes what you see here during the ultimate and you can't see anything.

This is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen and one I honestly don't want to be patched out

[walterchen]

If it's less visible and would cover the whole Jhin R, it would be a amazing interaction between skins

[Nathan]

They should keep this bug, IT'S AMAZING !

[lolvaldes]

Zoe creating new stars right here, why she stealing aurelion job tho?

[enacheandrei]

I think the reason why Zoe's e is covering most of Jhin's ult is because the game either prioritises Zoe's e layer mask over Jhin's ult layer mask or the layer mask of Jhin's ult is transparent so we can see the actual size of Zoe's e

[Shadow_SA]

You should've tried making Zoe's E pop at the edge or on the sides of Jhin's ult. It seems like his ult acts as a window and shows the parts of the textures that should be hidden. I wouldn't be surprised if there were other cases like this with other champs/skins.

Finally, something that doesn't really ruin the game unless they remove this feature.

[Kaitri]

Considering how buggy her e hitbox is, wouldnt be surprised if this was the actual hitbox

[flameofmage]

That's actually cool since you get an inside look on how they animated it.

[mrfoodfrostfiend]

please keep this hidden interaction in the game its fantastic!

[YL-zgnp]

I just love how he pinged the minion several times after preventing the bug to happen

[oni_]

So basically some visual effects cover a wider area, but in game they are displayed partially through a sort of crop mask which hides the rest. What Jhin ult does is overriding the spell vfx crop mask with its own crop mask. Not only this bug looks cool but is showing how some vfx functions work "behind the scenes". Amazing!

ngl if that was an intended feature then thats pretty sick
