Flash breaks Quinn's ult. [Gameplay] [Urgent]

So, this only happened once and I can't reproduce it after a number of attempts but immediately after Quinn finishes channeling, if you flash early enough, you will break out of Quinn's ult, animation and all.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ult
  2. Wait for the animation to finish and the bar to disappear
  3. Flash AS FAST as you absolutely possibly can right after
  4. ???
  5. You might be on foot again

Why this is game breaking:

Well, I suppose it's not necessarily... It will always tilt you without fail though when people are chasing you and one of them has a non-targetted aoe gap close (Zac) and you flash (he still misses completely) and lo and behold you're on foot and can be chased by a blitzcrank who's fed for some reason, and you die, and you're 20/11/7 carrying a bunch of guys HARD and simply because you died to such bs, the enemy team pushes and tramples your team 3v4 and they win out of nowhere completely undeservedly (from your perspective anyway, since you were winning single-handedly and whatnot, basic reasons)... But that scenario will never happen. Ever. Not even once. Except the one freakin' time that this bug ever occurs, spurring on a bug report...

Easy fix, put in a little subroutine where Quinn can't cancel her ult with anything for any reason for... I dunno, a hundred billionth of a second? Or maybe for a quarter of a second she can't use any abilities (save for flash obviously). The second fix would also fix chain-cancelling her ult thanks to accidental input buffering mechanics. Man it's annoying to accidentally press 'r' twice in an instant and you notice you're barely moving.... So you press it again and think, "wait I'm an idiot and I just cancelled it" and then you camera focus your character and you actually aren't in bird form but you were about to channel it so you press 'r' again and cancel it after channeling again, rinse and repeat a couple times until you realize what's wrong...

I honestly don't even know how this bug could theoretically exist so I fully understand if nobody feels like doing anything about it.

What I would think is that there's something in the code where, for a single frame after the animation finishes, the channel is still able to be cancelled. Riot just released a post where they talked about this with basic attacks, and how they're making it so that kiting is easier with high latency and packet loss over here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/gERRx9dV-auto-attack-lockin and that post explains how the frames work in the game. Basically, what I'm expecting the problem here is that you were in the very last frame that your basic attack could be cancelled when you flashed.
