Darius Decimate (Q) does not hit enemies in its blade zone. [Gameplay]

When swinging his axe its damage, passive stacks, and self heal will sometimes not be applied. This mainly seems to happen around the blade's maximum or minimum ranges when bringing targets into range just as the channel ends. Most recently I have had minions with at least 75% of their hitbox in range take no damage from the swing.

I have not been able to reliably replicate this happening. However, every time I noticed it:

1: Q activated with nobody (champion, minion, or neutral monster) in range. 2: During the channel (especially close to the end) walk into range (either towards to put an enemy into the max range of the blade or away to put them in the minimum range of the blade) (I also believe only having part of the target's hit box in range of the blade might also increase the chance) 3: Try not to cry about dying slowly while your damage, heal, and stack generating ability is on cool down.

Not being able to reliably replicate this bug I will simply say that having it happen 2 or 3 times in 5 minutes during a match is not out of the possibility, because it happened in my most recent.

Unfortunately I am also unable to capture video of this bug due mostly to incompetence with recording software.

I would like to add that Darius is an old favorite and while not opposed to the rework I do dislike not getting damage and heals off of a Kayle match-up that already mostly invalidates my ultimate. I know this doesn't really matter but it would be nice if a champion that has very tangible disadvantages, especially in light of the current meta, could actually apply the resources he does have. Even if he was going to lose the match-up anyway.

I had to stop playing him for this reason. I would outplay people by running away mashing Q and or trying to finish someone off with it and boop "miss." I got out of a game recently where I had just procced noxian might then (with storm raiders and ghost) ran into the enemy team with Q. Not one person took any damage even from the flat part. (All 4 were in range) Interesting thing to note.Noxian guilatine also resets within like .5 to 1.5 seconds after the damage was done even if it's just an assist. :) Varus snipes
