[Gameplay] [Gamebreaking] Zilean Passive&Auto-Attack Bug

Unfortunately I don't have any videos or photos to back this up, so I'll try to describe it the best I can.

When Zilean targets somebody with his passive, he begins the process of delivering his stored XP to them. During this time, he does a special animation and shoots a beam of, well, experience, at his teammate. It seems to function like a tether in the way that if the teammate leaves it range while the animation is going it cancels. It will also cancel if Zilean enters combat while using it. **Now here's the bug:**every once in a while Zilean will get stuck in the animation he uses to give XP (it almost looks like he is sitting down in midair). During this time, he can use all of his abilites and move around normally. HOWEVER, HE CAN'T AUTO ATTACK WHILE STUCK IN THIS ANIMATION! The only way I've found to fix this ingame is to either level up Zilean (the animation goes away) or to use your passive on another teammate (animation goes away after XP is delivered). However, there was still a huge period of time where I simply could not auto-attack. This has happened to me multiple times in separate games, despite not finding a reliable way to reproduce it. There was one game where I couldn't auto-attack in lane for almost 3 minutes.

TL;DR Sometimes Zilean gets stuck in his passive animation and becomes unable to auto-attack. I think it occurs when an ally leaves his passive tether range while it is going, or when he enters combat while actively giving an ally XP. I am unable to reliably reproduce this bug, but it has happened multiple times on Summoner's RIft and the Howling Abyss. It is directly related to his passive.

Thanks,

Swuft
