Poppy Heroic Charge Bug When Cast On Mini-Gnar? Mini-Gnar Hop bugged or working as intended?

A few games ago I was playing Gnar vs Poppy top lane. I encountered Poppy at the tri-brush and began to kite her back to my tower. Poppy cast heroic charge on me ( as i anticipated it) to pin me to the wall below top tower. As Poppy casted Heroic Charge, I Casted Hop to the side immediately, putting me in what seemed like a safe position to be charged back toward my tower. However, that's not what happened. In the air and seemingly safe from the charging Poppy, my character (Gnar) bugged and went back to where I was at the start-up of Hop, on the ground, and I was pinned by Heroic Charge against the wall I hopped away from. Poppy did not activate her W skill to prevent jumps and dashes until after I was pinned to the wall.

So is this a bug, or a strange way of things working as intended?

Sounds like lag to me. It's hard to tell unless we have a video.

Nope. Confirmed not lag. I just finished spectating a challenger match and I witnessed the bug again. The bug is Poppy's heroic charge. Poppy charged a Lucian and Lucian immediately dashed away from the wall, positioning himself to be charged away from poppy rather than stunned, yet his avatar was forced to it's original position before his dash and he was pinned to the wall. It's not hard to re-create this "bug". Just cast heroic charge and tell a friend to immediately dash or hop to the side when you do (away from terrain, of course) Try it yourself. Now the question is: would Riot or the playerbase acknowledge this as a bug, or would it be claimed that this is Poppy's heroic charge "working as intended"?
