[Gameplay] Rengar Q (Empowered auto, not on-hit effect) ignores Teemo blind

Teemo's blind does not prevent any damage from Rengar's empowered autos (Q). As I understand it, if Teemo blinds a target with on-hit effects (i.e. Kog Maw W or Kayle) the basic attack damage is mitigated while the on-hit effects still occur (this makes sense). If Teemos blinds a target with an empowered auto (such as Leona's Q or Blitzcrank's E) both the empowered effect and the basic attack is mitigated. However, when Teemo blinds Rengar and Rengar uses Q, Rengar's next two autos, which are _empowered _ (as stated in the skill descriptions), do both basic attack damage and empowered damage (as opposed to only empowered damage, or no damage). Essentially, Rengar is blind-free for his next two autos then returns to being blinded afterwards, if the blind lasts that long.

To recreate:

  1. Teemo Q's rengar
  2. Rengar activates Q and autos

Video proof below below: https://imgur.com/a/b6oNY You can see that he was not blinded for the first empowered auto, then blinded for the second empowered auto and both of them landed.

Probably a simple bug that Riot will attend to in the next patch. Otherwise, good post. Hope someone that has contacts with Riot can see this and report it in to them.

Strange, sounds like a bug.

Maybe perhaps the blind positive/negative part of the code for Rengo's Q is still coded for his rework/pre-revert Q?

I know it's not this simple but maybe?
