[GAMEPLAY] Ryze can get free passive stacks AND cooldowns

I tested this in a custom quite a few times. The trick works like this:

  • Put a point into Rune Prison or Spell Flux (his W or E abilities). I find it to be much easier with Spell Flux.
  • Wait until a minion is near death. Launch your auto attack to last hit, and right before it lands, cast your spell.
  • If you did it right, Ryze will stop mid-way during his casting animation and the spell will not be fired--however, you'll notice you now have a stack of your passive.
  • This also works when your passive is already triggered. If your ultimate is on cooldown, and you repeat the steps above, you'll lower the cooldown with every "spell cast" that doesn't go off.

this is also an issue with Lichbane as well. It also counts as stacks for tear/seraph's/Muramana. This also can be done with ANY champ with Targeted abilities. Anivia, all of old ryze's kit, any champ that has a point and click ability with projectile time will do this.

Update: Tested with a friend. We were both able to recreate it as many times as we tried (and were successful in timing)
