[GAMEPLAY] Malzahar E fails to hop to next target

When Malzahar casts E (Visions) on a minion that is almost dead, and if the Visions does not deal any damage before the minion dies of other causes, then the Visions fail to hop on to the next target. Effectively, this wastes mana for nothing whatsoever, so I am not sure if this is an intended feature. Very frustrating and not something you would expect. Also frustrating late-game to cast E on a minion wave expecting to regain some mana, only to have an adc crit-kill that minion right away, so you just lost the cost of E for nothing.

I've seen this happen multiple times for past couple years and adapted to avoid the issue, but still run into it every now and then.

To reproduce: cast E on a minion when turret is about to kill it. If the minion is killed before the animation appears, then you will just lose mana and E will not hop to next nearby target.
