[GAMEPLAY] Viktor Q bug

So it seems Viktors Q can proc lichbane (and I assume other spellblade effects) without actually using an ability. Due to the time perfection you need to get this bug to happen perfectly it won't be much of a problem, but it can certainly be annoying.

How to reproduce: 1: Get a minnion to health you can kill it with an lich bane strengthed auto attack. 2: Q a minnion that is about to die the very next moment. This can be the same minnion but you have to make sure you auto attacks lands not more than 1/5 of a second after you q. 3: You kill the minnion with a lichbane proc, without ever expanding the Q mana or cooldown because it gets cancelled (because of the minnion dying).

Now this by itself is not a big problem. The problem does come into existance when you do this perfectly though, because I had it happen once or twice (due to the pefect timing needed I couldn't reproduce this everytime, it was more of an accident) that I actually kept my lichbane spellblade effect while killing the minnion. So you can effectively harrass people with lichbane without the mana costs.

I hope this helps.

Finalkil.

This isn't just Viktor, it seems to be a bug with Lich Bane itself. I saw the same thing on Veigar.

To be more general, any time you have a slight delay in casting an ability at a target, you can trigger the bug. Lich Bane sees that you pressed the button for a spell and procs, while the spell see "Oh, that target died before I was ready to actually cast. I'll save the mana and cooldown".
