There is a bug with Lee Sins W when you attempt to cast it on something right before it dies. The ability goes on the full, non champion reduced cooldown (even when targeting a champion), you lose the 50 energy required to cast it, and you do not dash or gain a shield like you would in a self cast scenario. Instead, it acts as if you dashed to the target while keeping you in place, even if the target is a champion. Finally, you are unable to use the recast of the W, Iron Will, because it acts as if your initial Safeguard never happened. In this clip i tried to w to my melee minion near the cho.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Cast w on a target a split second before it dies
  2. Cry

This has a 10/10 reproduction rate when timed correctly under the right circumstances. I will post another example in the comments.

In this clip i tried to w to my aurelion sol right before he went into stasis from the zilean ult and the same scenario followed. I lost my w, it did not go on the short cooldown from targeting a champion, and i did not gain a shield or dash. I then proceeded to try to wardjump twice afterward, not realizing my W was on cooldown. As you can see, this is a very frustrating and game changing bug. What normally would have been an easy kill on the chogath in the first clip instead led to me dying and failing to kill him.
