I made a quick research, but I didn't find anything similar, so here I am.
I never checked wards timings during replays, today I did. And found something weird.

Match ID: #98806757

I'm, as nymph, placing some wards on legion side. When I review the replay SOMETIMES the timings are screwed up. I'm sorry but I can't find a cause, I can't exactly replicate the error... that's why I say sometimes.
Some examples.

At about min 14:30 (replay timer) I've placed a ward top rune. It seems to be fine. There's another ward placed top lane close to the secondary tower. Its timing is screwed up.
At about min 18:00 ward at bot rune is screwed up.
Some minutes later same goes for the ward at bot lane on the hill between the secret shop and the secondary tower. Screwed up.

At that point I thought since I was reviewing the replay as myself (nymph) I couldn't see correctly other teammates' wards... but at 44:00 (replay timer) I placed a ward top lane close to the secondary tower. Screwed up as well.

I took some screenshot of this last ward.

1) My ward alone, can't see its timing

2) My ward that was running out (even if we can't see that...) AND a teammate ward just next to it. View of his ward. (everything's ok)

I tried to log off and relog, tried to change to spectator or to watch the replay as another player... nothing really worked out, sometimes this happens.

Fast forwarding when the ward is placed seems to cause this. (Any speed above 1x)

Must also be watching from a teammates point of view. Must also select the ward before changing the speed back to 1x.

NOTE: It does not work if you're lagging. The more you lag, the lower the chance that it occurs. At ~ 30+ fps it occurs 99.9% of the time with the repro steps I listed in this post

Requesting someone with a decent PC to go into practice mode and fraps this bug with the replication steps I provided, please! :D
