Uhm, well, first during his passive the cooldowns you had from items were not counted factors (just cooldowns from runes and masteries), also after using your ultimate in it you could not use any other skill afterwards, regardless of time of use.

Then they changed his passive so he would not really die until 8 seconds after, solved the cooldown issue, but made it so that in the American version of the game, Karthus' would go into God mode (completely untouchable) if killed during certain circumstances (getting killed by a damage over time such as ignite or basically just level during the passive)

In the European client he would be resurrected if dying under certain circumstances, but unable to move, someone would have to go finish him for him to be able to get back in the game moving again, a lot of people tried recalling or alt+F4 but they ended up stuck in base.

So then they tried to fix this, and they ended up making it so that Karthus kills himself, skipping the rest of his passive whenever he levelled or skipped the whole if he was killed by a damage over time skill.

This led to people believing they would actually get money for killing themselves while being on killing sprees, but it only states so in the chat, when it really doesn't give you or the actual killer money, though it does give you stacks for things such as mejai's.

Now they changed it very recently again, seeming to have solved the issues, but changing it so that there's no 8 second delay on his death anymore, causing the cooldown issue to come back.
