[GAMEPLAY] Garen's Q not blocked by abilities as it did before re-work

Matched against a Garen as Shen and noticed that, while my W blocked his Q damage and silence, he would keep doing his Q attack animation and, once my W expired, would silence and do the additional damage on Q.

  1. As Shen or Jax, use W or E respectively
  2. As Garen, activate Q and target Shen or Jax with a basic-attack
  3. The status effect that empowers Garen's next basic attack doesn't disappear upon attacking
  4. Garen's Q's status effect remains until you deal damage with a basic-attack or it expires

This has happened twice in ranked and multiple times in customs where a friend and I tested it. Attack Speed makes this bug more apparent since his Q cast time now scales with attack speed.

While we did not test Garen's Q interaction with Teemo's Q, I suspect it will be the same as with Shen's W or Jax's E.

EDIT: Other champs that have now been tested.

Fiora W: Garen's Q gets consumed as intended. Teemo Q: Garen's Q does NOT get consumed. Nocturne W: Garen's Q does NOT get consumed. Sivir E: Garen's Q does NOT get consumed.

Tested with various items, too. Titanic Hydra, Sheen, Statik Shiv, Banshee's, and Edge of Night.

The interaction with Sivir's spell shield on top of both Banshee's and Edge of Night is quite "interesting." https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=ZH-FjvWKa6Q

A couple of things to note: Titanic Hydra's active effect and Sheen only get consumed when Garen's Q deals damage. Statik Shiv's energized attack gets consumed on the first hit without damaging anything

And here's a video with Garen using Q a total of 6 times on a Jax with Counterstrike active: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=81gzx502DUo

From what you've described, it seems like it's been changed from next attack to next attack that hits.
