Suppose you're 3 in a fight, Zilean ults, but his target dies. Your team still gets a kill out of it. Zilean now properly gets the assist because he participated in the fight, even though his effort was in vain.

Prior to the patch Zilean would not get the assist in this situation because his ult target died.
