Teemo vs. Ekko bug (Or, Ekko Blind Passive bug)

If Ekko is blinded, he still applies stacks of his passive with auto-attacks.

No other champ does this, but he does. Imagine my surprise going Teemo to counter Ekko and discovering that he was still procing his third stack on his passive with an auto-attack. He missed the return on his Q every time, so I can assure that that didn't cause the final stack, and he was blinded right as he went in with E. He would therefore have 2 seconds of blind to keep him from completing the last stack. He still did it, though, and consequentially slowed me so much I couldn't do a thing to get out of his W range.

This isn't just a counterplay issue - this is a bloody clarity issue. How would anybody know that blinds don't stop his passive stacks from autos if there's not a single thing to hint at it? Other champs don't do this - if you blind them and they have AA stacking passives, they don't apply stacks. Hell, his E doesn't do damage if you blind him. Why is this a thing? Either fix it or clarify it.

Might just be a bug with Teemo's blind. After playing Teemo exclusively for over 2 weeks, his blind does not stop AA 100% of the time from certain champs. Dianna and Darius are two champs that frequently are able to AA Teemo while Blind. I called a Dianna out on it one match, and she didn't deny that it happened. So far, those are the only two champs I'm 100% sure that Blind sometimes does not affect their AA. I haven't played against enough Ekko's yet. I suspect it doesn't work Kalista either, but I need more games with her. Kalista's skill set is so fast it's hard to tell if it's AA or pure skill shots. One would assume it's pure skill shots, but...you never know.

Teemo hasn't been really tweaked, or worked on at all. The only thing I can recall worked on Teemo is a shroom and stealth nerf lonnnnnng ago.

They don't really mess with old champs unless they are super popular. You should see the bugs with Cho'Gath. He's been gaining popularity a little, so maybe he'll finally get some work. His rupture and feral scream bugs give me hemroids, but he's still a great champ.

EDIT: Just read that Kalista's AA's cannot be canceled. So, yeah...I was correct in thinking Blind did nothing to stop her AA...
