Nidalee 'E- Swipe' Bug - Swiping in Random Directions [VIDEO INCLUDED]

When I was playing Nidalee on a ranked Twisted Treeline game, I realised there was a bug with her E- Swipe. After testing, I can confirm this bug occurs on Summoner's rift map as well, and it happens on her natural skin, and the Leopard Nidalee skin too. When in cougar form, and you press E, to swipe, normally Nidalee swipes in a 180 degree cone in the direction of your cursor. Now, I believe there is a bug where she will swipe in whatever direction Nidalee chooses. I play Nidalee a lot and only have realised this bug after the 4.18 patch. Very frequently (not always) she will swipe in the wrong direction and miss, and this pretty much caused me to lose my ranked game in Twisted Treeline, and I am very disappointed about it. Below is a video of 2 clips which I recorded of me in a custom game with natural nidalee skin. In the first clip you can see how even though my cursor is clearly at a point, she swipes in another direction. In the second clip, I get my W- Pounce. Simple combo is to pounce onto a minion, and swipe it. In the second clip, I pounce to a minion and with my cursor in the direction on the minion, I press E to swipe. But instead, I swipe in the completely backwards, missing the minions. I am very disappointed that I lost a ranked game because of this. Please do something about it.

How to reproduce this bug:

  1. Start a game, select Nidalee. Skins that I found the bug on were Natural Nidalee and Leopard Nidalee (other skins untested). Bug seems to be on any map.
  2. I was on blue team, but I assumed the bug is on purple team too.
  3. Game launched fine.
  4. In game: press R, to switch to cougar form
  5. Rank E - Swipe first. Place cursor in front of nidalee and press E to swipe
  6. Move around and repeat until swipe in the completely wrong direction is observed.
  7. Rank W - Pounce second.
  8. Go up to a minion and W, E the minions to Pounce to it and swipe it. This is where I observed her swipe backwards..

There's a rumour that this is happening to Kassadin too? Apparently if you R-E (riftwalk, then E), he fires he E backwards. I can't confirm this but maybe others can.

Yeah I also lost a ranked game due to this bug. Would get my targets low and marked with my passive, would jump to them and E behind me... also affected my CS big time.
