Diana W-pale cascade interaction with Yasuo W-windwall

Normally, Diana will gain a shield for 5 seconds and have 3 orbs that detonate around her. When Diana's final orb detonates it will give her a stacking shield and start W on it's cooldown.

The weird interaction here is that if her final orb is destroyed by a Yasuo windwall, she doesn't get the new shield and she also doesn't get to start her W cooldown (it still waits the remainder of its 5 second duration before starting its 10 second cooldown).

This is a really frustrating interaction as a Diana player to have to wait for W to even begin it's cooldown.

1.6m Mastery OTP. This is intended. W is a projectile, and the orbs were never "popped." You should always look to trade after windwall as Diana, or at levels1-2 (w + passive procs = out trade).

Not sure why I was donvoted but it's true. Her shield is a projectile and the condition for it to refresh is for the orbs to detonate. WW stops projectiles. This is comparable to Ahri W - she doesn't have the condition of hitting a target, thus the CD being reset.

It should still go on cooldown once the orbs are destroyed and Diana no longer has a means of putting it on cooldown herself. I don't believe its an intended interaction, I believe its an unintended oversight.
