Now that Kat's WR has dropped 2%, can we fix her W?

I have no idea how to reproduce it but what I do know is that is has been bugged since her update. When pushing buttons rather quickly as all Kat mains do, her W on occasion simply DOES NOT WORK after using E. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work even if you press it a couple times within a short window, but eventually does work after it's too late (time is very important in Kat combos for obvious reasons). The easiest way to tell that the bug occurred is if you use E later while W is up, and Kat just automatically uses W without giving the input.

Her winrate is still good tho , but a bug is a bug and must be fixed

I've had the exact same thing happen to her R.. I have to wonder if It's due to the E cast window bugging out the inputs?

I feel like I have seen this happen on other champions with similar situiatons of hitting multiple keys in quick succession, one ability can get locked out of the queue entirely? In all honesty this might just be due to my fingers not moving like I think they are.... but it happenes often enough I wonder. Don’t do drugs kids, mkay?

I also sometimes throw w twice if passive procs as I press w

It turns out the bug occurs when she kills anything with Shunpo.

If you shunpo to something and it dies, W will not work for a few seconds. If you shunpo again without using W, it will automatically use W without pressing it again

I haven't noticed that much in ranked and normal games (generally you don't execute your combos that fast in early stages of the game), but during the blood moon event, I simply couldn't E W R (the W never came out) - At all! Regardless of how slow/fast I did that combo - So ya, gotta agree with that.

Also I think they should look for a way to avoid the instant E right after a reset (double E in a few words) - It completely destroys the entire combo in the middle of a teamfight (which is where this has more chances to occur).
