[GAMEPLAY] Kled W Bug, No 4th Attack

While in game, if kled is auto attacking right when his w comes off cooldown it activates his w. When this happens it starts with 3 autos left and there is no 4th one. Only started occurring after patch 7.3.

Steps to recreate:

  1. Use w to get it on cooldown
  2. Right before it comes off of cooldown start attacking
  3. W should activate, but that attack used up one of the autos
  4. Continue autoing an you will see that when the 4th attack (supposedly) hits it does no extra damage and the auto animation is the same as the attacks before

Pretty sure it happens all of the time following these steps but who knows, maybe I'm really unlucky.

(On a side note I also found another bug where I believe if you kill a unit with the 4th attack there is no auto animation at all, but it could have had something to do with me moving around and I also don't know how to recreate it. Just thought I would put it in here since they are kind of related but then again kind of not)

It happens quite a bit when just attacking minions and turrets but not as much against champions or in teamfights. Its hard to get an image of it and I don't know how to record it so I have no image/video to show what's going on.

Kled Main here.

With a good timing on the auto this bug is 100% reproducible. This is gamebreaking since the 4th hit is essential to your killing and trading potential. If you know about it you can kind of play around it, but it hurts your gameplay a lot if you always have to wait with an auto until W is completely off cooldown.

This bug is really strange cause it indicates that the auto counter for putting the ability on cooldown is different from the counter for the 4th attack. To be more specific: The auto right when the cooldown of W ends counts as the first of four hits to put the ability on cooldown again and starts the 4 second time window until it is automatically put on cooldown. Though this hit doesn't count as the first of four hits for your empowered 4th hit, leaving you with no chance to get the extra dmg.

I hope this will be fixed soon since it hurts your gameplay a lot.

Another Kled main here

I've been noticing this bug last game, and i lost lane because of this bug (my team carried me). My god, it was irritating to know that I was in a disadvantage because of this bug. I've also been noticing another thing too. Kled's W can sometimes play the 4th hit within the first 2 autos, I was very confused, but hey it got me a kill, not complaining here.

Plz fix this Riot item 3070
