[GAMEPLAY] Syndra w not granting gold on minion kills (minions get the kill instead it seems)

If I'm Syndra, I pick up a low hp cannon minion, throw it, it dies. However, I am granted no gold by it.

Frustrating to the extreme and has been happening for a couple patches, but has been most noticeable in this one. I believe it is because it is "invulnerable" in the air, but if there were minion auto-attacks going to the cannon it still deals the damage after it lands before proc-ing the damage from Syndra to count as the last hit, if that makes sense. Basically I can throw it, but it seems the minions get the "last hit" for it.

I've seen this also. I think sometimes if the minion was about to take damage before you grab it and you throw it, it then takes dmg from whatever was hitting it before the spell dmg goes off cause I grabbed a cannon once that a tower was hitting and a tower shot was already in the air going towards it, I threw it and then the tower shot hit it and killed it once I threw it. You can see there's a couple of caster minion auto attacks in your clip that were on the way to finish the cannon off when you grab it. I think those hits register as soon as you throw it killing it before you get the credit. Basically what you said. xD. I would post it in bug report section also.

Yea i assume its not invulnerable. Its untargetable after you grab it, so any attacks that have already been launched still connect.

This shit has been happening for a really long time now, it's so annoying.

another problem I've been having with syndra is after picking something up with w my character seems to be getting minion blocked all the time while walking with nothing being in front of her.
