[GamePlay] Vi's Excessive Force Ability

As it is shown, Excessive Force is performed on a target and creates a shockwave coning out behind that target. The damage is intended to be applied for the entirety of the area covered by the shockwave animation. However, in recent games, one on Summoner's Rift and one on Howling Abyss, I would use Excessive Force on a creep or champ and only the closest 1 to 2 enemy units behind the primary target would take damage, despite several units being within the shockwave animation. This is a functionality bug as Excessive force is intended to be useful for Wave Clear, Enemy Harassment, and executing fleeing (low HP) enemy champions.

Server: NA Game Date: 10-22-2014 Champion: Vi Skin: Primary/Original Skill: E - Excessive Force Bug: Enemies hit by shockwave do not take damage. Repeatability: 100% in the two games I played with her for enemies more than one minion-width away from initial target Impairs Functionality: Yes Impairs Clarity: Yes, because you should be doing damage but you are not. Priority: Medium, affects gameplay.

Thank you for your time.

I had this exact same problem. I noticed it when trying to clear blue side lizard elder camp. It would not damage the top minion in any way.
