Xin Zhao's "Q" not working

After playing Xin for a few games I noticed that his Q is not knocking up. The animation for it just doesn't play 95% of the time. From what I can tell it does read the knock up sometimes but you don't see anything. I've been kind of testing it and the slow swinging mobs, like red or blue, you can see them stop mid swing on the third hit but, sometime they just keep swinging after the knock up should of done its job. I've noticed other players just walking away when they should of been standing there for the CC even if the animation doesn't play.

This could just be me too. I have seen plenty of things going on only on my screen. Even had a ward that ended give me vision the whole game once or twice. I play with friends a lot so I know if it's just me or they can see it too. Think it's worth a look into.

Have been playing xin periodically over the last week and the knock up works maybe 2/10 times. Makes the first clear almost impossible. Please fix

Yea this is a big problem for me, because I find I am taking a lot more damage on my first run of the jungle which tends to set me back. Also while ganking, i cannot knock up the champs, which kind of defeats the purpose of the gank.

I played Xin and my q didn't knock up either. It's pretty game breaking for his kit.

I've had the same issue and the knockup not working alot. It seems to happen on champions with dashes more frequently and on the large monster camps. I've seen it happen every 9/10 times and not knockup about half the time it doesnt play the animation.

When I was playing Xin, I noticed that instead of his last q dealing a knock up, it would instead show up as a snare. If you watch the enemy closely when you hit them, you can see the snare icon. But this snare lasts for just a fraction of a second. Note: I was playing ARAM when I encountered this bug. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but best to be thorough.

Please get this fixed soon. I did several tests on this, on all four of the maps and twice to make sure i wasn't see things. I used to be a Xin jungle main, but now I started to play him again he's getting bugged.

Scary that this bug seems to happen around 50% of the time. My friend mentioned this days ago and I thought he was just bad - tried it myself today and can confirm that the ability is bugged to a large degree. Also W made my autos reset (not sure if that's normal or not, but I thought only Q was supposed to reset autos).

It appears to mainly be a visual bug. Enemy champions are still CCed, but don't appear to be knocked up.

Not sure if it counts as displacement for things like Yasuo's ult, though.
