Kennen bugs I noticed that should really be looked into.

Hey, my in game name is Hexpion, and I'm a Plat 1 Kennen Kennen player. I've mained Kennen in s2 and recently started picking him up and using him as a main again, and I've found 2 not game changing, but annoying bugs :

The first one is his Q, Thundering Shuriken. It seems as if firing if towards the north somehow makes the shuriken invisible. This has only happened about 5 times in the 70 or so ranked Kennen games I played so its not really that big of a problem.

The second one is the one I'm really frustrated about. His W, Electrical Surge, has a bug where if you cast it right before the enemy goes out of vision, the cooldown will start but the damage will not go through (e,g Enemies going into an unwarded bush right when Kennen casts W will not take any damage, however it will put Kennen's W on cooldown). This also happens right when a minion is about to die --> if you cast W on a minion but that minion happens to die right before the spell activates, it will also go on cooldown.

Please fix these bugs it will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

First off, the way his W interacts with minions as they're about to die is intended. If you start the W, it consumes energy and goes on cooldown immediately; then, after the windup time, it deals damage to all nearby enemies with lightning charges on them. Therefore, if there are no nearby enemies with charges, it does nothing, even though it goes on cooldown. :/

As far as the whole "losing vision" thing, I've played a bit of Kennen but I've never encountered that bug before... if you're not simply mistaken about what you think is happening, that is a bug. Kennen's W doesn't (at least, shouldn't) care about vision on its targets! If someone is in a bush with a charge on them when you start his W, it'll still do damage and draw a little lightning bolt towards their position, giving them away, even though you can't see them. The same goes for stealthed enemies, too; as long as they're in range and have a charge, you can zap 'em. Upvoted this as a potentially valid bug.

I think he might be a bit buggy. I've played him multiple times this season but i always thought i was seeing things or perhaps that was supposed to occur (which still might be the case). I am also in Plat and have been in a few games with Hexpion where the possible problems have happened. I main top lane and i have been surprised by some opponent Kennen's that for some reason didn't W or deal damage to me. Might be due to a bug but i can not confirm that. Hopefully they can at least look into it. Not a crazy problem but it does seem like it would be annoying for people that like to and play kennen a lot.

I've definitely experienced the bit where Kennen's W doesn't mark enemies in the bush.
