Illaoi E Spirit Displacement Bug
Picture this: Illaoi is standing in between two parallel tentacles on opposite walls of top lane, at the end of the river. The enemy Vi comes to gank her, but Illaoi warded and is prepared. Illaoi stands perfectly in between her tentacles so that she can have two hitting both Vi's spirit and Vi herself. Vi charges her Q to prepare to dash on or away from Illaoi, depending on how the next few seconds go. Illaoi hits Vi with E, and as soon as Vi sees the E hit she finishes her Q backwards, away from Illaoi. As the E spirit comes back to Illaoi, because Vi dashed away, the spirit spawns BEHIND Illaoi, the distance away from the normal spawn point corresponding to the distance Vi dashed away. Because of this displacement, if the spirit were to be targetable, Illaoi's tentacles would not be in range to swing at it. However, the actual outcome is even worse for Illaoi, because the Spirit flies back to where it would spawn, but because the circle's range is centered around the spirit itself, Vi has already exited the circle, so the spirit never even becomes targetable by Illaoi. This bug, or hidden mechanic to destroy the quality of life for Illaoi players, happens constantly, just about once a day for me (out of avg. 1-4 games) from dashes, flashes, other blinks, anything that quickly displaces the target away from Illaoi. Once the E hits, as the spirit flies back, enemies dashing or blinking away causes the spirit to be misplaced, frequently causing the debuff to instantly be applied without giving Illaoi a chance to hit the spirit at all. Is there a way for this to either be fixed, or if it's intentional, include it in the tooltip? I'd prefer if it were fixed because this bug is extreeeemely irritating and has caused the loss of many crucial fights, and therefore games. I know Illaoi isn't popular, but this bug has brought me incredible frustration and I'd love for it to be fixed. Side note: Dunkmaster Illaoi? Please? ;)
