[Gameplay] New change to auto attack cancels mess with kalista's passive

The new change to autoattack cancels messes with kalista's passive. instead of hopping around it causes her to move when you use your right click which makes it near impossible to chain hop at higher attack speeds.

using the attack move command works but the draw back there is kalista will switch targets while hopping cause of how it works which means she can't attack the target she wants in a group on minions.

even while using the attack move command to hop with it feels slower and clunky

Guess no one played kalista on the pbe while that was being tested

can confirm when you get 1.5 attack speed and greater it's really noticeable that the new change to auto attacks makes kalista's passive fail. she can no longer chain hop at higher attack speeds becuase of how her passive works. she has to put in the movement command before the attack goes off while she is winding up so the .03 second delay is negating the movement command necessary for kalista to do the hop

Same Bug already described here, here, here, here and here.

It must be related to the "Basic Attack Lock-In"-Feature they added this patch (6.20):

NO CANCELLATIONS: Movement orders issued .03 seconds before a basic attack fires will no longer cancel it. The movement will now occur after the attack fires.

See Path Notes 6.20

Funny enough, somebody asked about how this Feature would affect Kalista on the Dev Corner Thread, see here. The change should have had no impact on Kalista at all, according to Riot Reinboom.

Since I play Kalista alot, I hope this gets fixed soon.
