ruby abyssal call and nova crown

[jayhena]

considering the wording of both the item and the gem skill, i would have expected it to work, and yet it doesn't.

nova crown, in its wording, doesn't call itself a reset, neither does it instantly give you a charge, wihtout altering the current cooldown in the case of multi charge skills, nor does it instantly ends the cooldown, as it specifically puts it at 1 second left. what's the point of this difference if it's still considered a reset by the game ?

ruby abyssal call only specifies it cannot be reset by abilities or loot, but cooldown reductions still work (namely, the ancient's own secondary, outside of garnet obviously)

nova crown does seem to work with abilities that can be reset but that cannot have their cooldown changed such as druid emerald special, which feels a bit strange to me since i understand the wording of both part of nova crown as cooldown changes.

it's kind of a missed opportunity when so many other items are already cooldown resets for specials, and nova crown's design is supposed to support all of the items in the same set that want high special cooldowns, and yet it doesn't work with most of the gems you'd want to pair it with.

I think this is intended as it also does not work with sniper opal and bruiser emerald which also specify they can't be reset by loot.

i do also think it's intended, but i also think it's not intuitive, and could be more interesting if it was the other way

Well, apparently this item originally did do a basic reset, but it was changed in a later patch. This means it could be an oversight, but I can't tell for sure.

Nova Crown, Oni Staff, and that one item that sets your defensive to a random cd between 1-12 seconds are all coded as resets and won't work on skills that can't be reset. Makes me sad, but it's consistent at least.
