[GAMEPLAY] Twitch unable to damage Nexus during Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat!

Whenever Twitch activates Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat! he becomes unable to deal damage to the enemy Nexus. I experienced this first in an URF game with some friends and we nearly lost the game. They thought I was crazy because I was saying i literally could not damage the nexus. Later on in the game I attempted to backdoor again but upon activating my ult, I could no longer deal damage to the nexus until the duration of Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat! was over. I can confirm that there was a middle inhibitor destroyed on the second attempt. My buddy and I then went into a custom 1v1 on a regular gamemode (non URF) and tested out the bug. I first shot the enemy nexus 3 times as Twitch and was able to damage the structure. Then I canceled my auto attack, activated Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat! and then proceeded to reattack the Nexus. I was no longer able to damage the structure until the duration of Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat! was finished. Even upon entering Twitch's regular basic attack range with Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat! on, I was still unable to damage the enemy nexus.

Thank you for all you guys do, let me know if you need clarification.

Thanks for the report, that bug should be fixed in the next patch (5.8), barring any unforeseen problems.

...Twitch ult has been like this for YEARS, and Riot said it was supposed to be this way at one point (for whatever reason). Now it's not? lol.

That.... That was a bug? That's been in the game so long I figured it was a mechanic. Are you kidding me? Please tell me this is a joke.

Well that is odd as far as a bug goes. Riot missed that becuase when twitch ults its to get kills and not take nexus. Also Twitch is an adc that has been forgoten in some games since he only get a power spick from items and no lvls and Kailistia is a better version on her with out the stealth. So to better show your problem go use obs and record the problem and post it here so that people can see the problem first hand.

I find it funny and ironic that I never thought this was an issue, never knew about this "bug" because I assumed that Twitch's ult didn't change how his autos worked against structures, until it happened to me a couple of games back. I had a Twitch on my team literally yesterday and he tried to backdoor the enemy Nexus, used his ult, and he wasn't damaging the Nexus at all. Then the next day there's a post on it xD

OMG I remember losing a ranked game as Twitch for the exact same reason.... glitch or is it meant to be that way?
