Caitlyn's Basic Attack dealing damage to target before bullet hits

I have no video nor pictures about this. [sorry I don't speak fluent english and will try my best to make it clear xox <3]

I just played Caitlyn for the first time in weeks in Summoner's Rift, Normal (non-ranked). After a few minutes of playing I noticed my **passive ** showed ready **before **I attacked. Not being used to Cait, I thought I had just forgotten how it worked, so I kept it going (anyway, I wouldn't leave...)

But when I looked at my damage on minions, I noticed the damage sometime showed (and was dealt to my target) before bullet even went out of my weapon. This was resulting in some bullets hitting minions disappearing bodies - they were dead 0,14 second before bullet arrived.

I tried to understand what was wrong - Was, even, something wrong? - and I first thought it was the Red Buff who would make that happen, but it happened at anytime, with or without Red. I don't remember seeing this happen on a non-critical-hit basic attack (but I wouldn't swear... I was trying to focus on match as well, you know... them adc's...)

Another bug about Passives + Critical strikes? Except this, which I think is a bug, I thought (maybe I was wrong) that my passive (150% dmg to champs; 250% to minions) could NOT add critical damage? Am I wrong? I had around 300 Attack damage and could deal some** 1300's** on minions/monsters when my passive was up, but sometimes only did 700-800 (when, 59% of the time, I wasn't critical-hitting). I had Infinity Edge as first item. Anyway, my mathematics abilities tell me 1200-1300 is more like 400% of my Attack Damage. But as I said : Maybe I was wrong...

Finally: Has anyone seen this bug on Caitlyn's basic attack too?

I hope this will help solve the bug. And if it's not a bug, well sorry for my nubism rito <3 If Riot team has questions, feel free to message me.

I've noticed this a while ago. It's definitely a bug. This happened ever since they took Caitlyn off the disabled list.

Caitlynn has some weird off and on animation bug with her auto attacks, it shows up and goes away for seemingly no reason.
