Meteor may be bugged

Was running the riften grind on my DC toon to level some skills (had switched from stam NB to magicka...that lasted a day lol) and noticed something weird. Casting meteor on an enemy that dies before the ability lands seems to remove the ground DoT, but takes the ulti anyway.

I did this three times to make double sure it wasn't a UI bug, saw the lack of aftereffect damage on LUI, no visual effect on the ground. No DoT.

Process for testing to make sure I'm not missing something:

Cast meteor on enemy
Enemy dies
Ability hits dead enemy
No DoT

Still in combat too, so not that. Bugged or working as intended?

    This happens in any case where the meteor doesn't hit a target. For example as a NB if a cloak a meteor it still hits the ground but it also doesn't leave an AoE dot either.

    Lately in pvp my meteor is hit and miss as to whether or not is actually drops, no sound, no effect, nothing, except my ultimate is depleted. On ps4 eu if it makes a difference.

    Sounds like using an ultimate when unneeded.

    Are you just hitting your ultimate because it is charged up, without realizing that you don't actually need it to finish the battle?

    NBs can evade meteor by cloaking and sorcs can evade meteor by streaking.

    @Cryptical Kind of. I don't ever need an ult when grinding (dodge roll and vigor), but need isn't quite the point. Just worried about a potential bug. If this same situation carried over into a dungeon, for example, you could lose an ult simply because a boss' summoned ads die before it hits them.
