[Gameplay] Neeko Passive inconsistency.

In Neeko's passive it states "Champion combat or casting damaging spells, breaks the disguise." If we want to be even more specific and to go to a 3rd party source, when referring to Neeko it states being in combat as "Damaging or taking damage from enemy champions"

However, as a disguised Neeko, if you begin an auto attack windup with an enemy champion as the target, but cancel the auto attack BEFORE it fires, your disguise still breaks. Technically you're not "in combat" nor have you taken/received any damage. But the disguise still breaks anyway.

What's the reasoning for that? It is contrary to both descriptions of her passive.

I have tested this while wearing moba boots, and I can confirm that when she winds up an auto against a champion, she breaks disguise but the moba boots do NOT lose their MS or go on cooldown. Despite them both being supposedly affected by the same "in combat" status.

Whats going on here and why?
