[Gameplay] Xin Zhao Ultimate Bug- Ultimate Not Hitting Anybody Due to Range Issue
I played Xin Zhao quite a few times in the past few days, and half the time when I Ult'ed, all he did was swing his spear, but none of the supposed effects were there. The damage, the knockback, the increased AR and MR, none of them were there. I was surrounded by the enemy team but I couldn't knock a single one away.
After some more thorough testing, I found out why his ult wasn't knocking anyone away. It turns out that Xin Zhao's ultimate range is currently still at 187.5, but his auto-attack range is currently set at 225, and his character model is about 5% larger. It wasn't obvious at the start, and I've been misjudging the distances.
Right now, even if enemies are at auto-attack distance, they aren't necessarily in range of Crescent Sweep. In fact, at 187.5 range, enemies would be well within Xin Zhao's spear radius and almost have to be right on top of Xin Zhao himself to get hit by Crescent Sweep. I'm thinking that's not intended, hence my reporting it.
I've tested this over five games after I formed my theory (two normals, one ranked, two customs) and this has happened to me every time. Items, Masteries, and Runes don't seem to affect this bug. Just might really be a simple range issue that was overlooked.
