Illaoi W getting locked out

So this bug has been around since she was first on the PBE.

When you activate her W she gets a buff showing how long she has to use it before it goes on CD.

The bug is this.

IF she Clicks W then clicks a target and as she jumps to hit them the target (dashes, Blinds, Flashes/TP) or anything to make them out of range when it lands the hit never happens BUT the buff stays on her and she cant use W again till the buff wares off and the CD is reset.

This happens OFTEN when she ults and her W is on a ~1.6s CD with CDR and yet she can get locked out of it for 6s barbecue of the Buff.

What needs to happen is that once she is leaping the target should be hit no mater what.

She can also get caught in a animation loop where you are clicking to attack and she starts it but the animation is so slow any new clicks with restart the animation and she stands there jittering.

Actually, this already occurs. You can kill people halfway through dashes and flashes and even get a kill on a recall (i killed a teemo from his outer tower in his own shop with a W on his recall).

This occurs with a large amount of melee champs. :/

With the 6.13 changes to Blitz E I think Riot has figured out a way to stop this from happening in specific circumstances and should apply this to her W.

The true bug is when she W's to someone and is interrupted mid jump, like say yasuo tornado knock-up, she then loses the ability and it fizzes. This wouldn't be a problem, lots of abilities have this happen when they are interrupted, but the main issue is the W "Buff" on her buff bar stays there as if she cast w but then didn't attack anything. So the W doesn't start it's cooldown until that expires.

Example of how these two interact currently to make it stupid sometimes: Illaoi ults a group in a team-fight and then casts w and clicks on a champion, let's say for whatever reason you are CC'd before the W animation so it still shows the ring around you for w so you are spam-clicking your target and when the CC wears off you do the "Jump Dance" until you are CC'd again a second later and now the ring disappears and your w doesn't go on CD until the W "Buff" wears off, so you probably walk around another 2 seconds or so and then die/flash.

This is super-bad feeling especially during ult because W should have a 2 second CD so you should be able to W again after any CC that interrupts an ability at most 2 seconds later, the temporary cd of the ability.
