[Gameplay] Xin Zhao's Q unreliably knocking up

I had to patch 5.3 twice for some reason. Anyway, I got into a game as jungler and chose Xin Zhao and started Krugs. Smited them instantly and Q'd, noticing that my Q did nothing other than bonus damage. No knock up. I tried this on several camps and still no knock up. It wasn't even missing the knock up animation, it straight up didn't disable them. A few minutes later (after complaining about it) I was able to knock up Ezreal. At one point I disabled Jax without the animation coming up either. It doesn't do anything 80% of the time, 15% of the time it'll disable them but not play the animation, and what seemed like only 5% it would act normally. This is a VERY big bug as it takes a lot of power out of Xin Zhao and makes ganking very difficult.

How to reproduce this:

  1. Choose Xin Zhao.
  2. Go Q something.

I also noticed this, in an aram yesterday. Rarely knocked people up, most often did nothing.

Same thing happened to me around an hour ago. what is weird is that it would knock up the red buff monster just fine but champs and other monsters nope.
