Q/R/Recall not working on some champions

This may or may not have been posted a few times already, I'm not sure since it seems to be quite a rare bug. But it has happened to me a few months ago with Vi and twice in the last week with Katarina.

The Q, R and Recall skills simply stop working during a game, randomly. I changed the keys assigned to those skills, I checked if my keyboard language was correct, even tried activating them using the left-click. It's not a hardware or hotkey assignment issue, those skills simply refuse to activate no matter what I do.

I googled the issue when it first happened with Vi, and there were no answers, and I did the same now and still, no one knows why this happens and it was never fixed. The only way to fix this is to wait for them to randomly start working again (sometimes they never do), or to shut down the client and launcher, risking getting punished by Leaverbuster for leaving the game.

This is a serious gamebreaking bug and I would appreciate if someone looked into it soon.

Just happened to me 2 games ago on katarina. I have a twitch VoD of the fight that caused it since I was streaming for a friend. me and my team were chasing a renekton and he died right as I was casting my ultimate. Maybe the reset happening right when her ultimate casts is Causing it. Or maybe since her ult can only be activated while there is an enemy, and since the renekton died right when I cast her ult, that could be breaking it. I'm not sure.

Here's a Twitch VoD Highlight of the fight that caused it

Maybe someone else has an idea of what's causing it. You really can't tell that it happened since I don't say much about it, but notice how I'm not using Q at all after that. I couldn't use Q, R, Or recall. In the end I killed myself on dragon to fix it. Death is the only fix I've found for it.

Yes. this problem occurs most commonly on the Q ability and it happens across all champions in the game. Been going on for a LONG time now. Q simply does not register from time to time. AT all. I reassigned the keys like you toggled smart cast and quick cast on and off as well and the Q just randomly doesnt register. It doesnt Grey out, its OFF COOLDOWN FOR SURE 100%, it just does not read the key input or cast at all. Happens to me on EVERY champion. Shen, Darius, Nasus, Pantheon, you name it its a problem for everyone
