Twitch Rat-a-tat-tat Damage Bug

When Twitch activates his Ultimate- for the duration of the ult any basic attacks done to an enemy nexus is negated. No damage indicators are shown on particle contact although the animation still completes and the piercing is still shown (Unknown if enemies are damaged by the piercing round behind the nexus). Damage is returned to normal once the duration of the ult ends.

TL;DR When twitch ults a nexus, damage isn't done to it until after the ult duration ends, meaning all attacks are set to 0 damage until the effect ends.

Well... It's not QUITE a bug, if I remember the couple of discussions I've seen on it correctly, but at this point it should probably be treated as one. This was how they used to code it so that Twitch's ult wouldn't hit the nexus or inhibitors through other things when they were supposed to be untargettable.

I'm PRETTY sure that by now they're quite capable of coding a better solution than just making the structures immune to Twitch's ult.

But say if someone was targeting the structure directly (and I was) and a team needed that last tick of life to go down for victory, that would cause an unfair advantage for the enemy team and could possibly cost a team the game. Especially when it cannot be toggled off before the duration ends.
