Zilean's level up passive malfunction (EUW Server)

Hello there! Here I am reporting an actual bug that's happened to me multiple times. When I try to level up someone that's slightly out of range via use of his passive, Zilean stays still for .5 seconds instead of moving towards the champion like normal and when issued another command to go level up said champion, Zilean auto-casts his E (speed up) on himself. The movement command also gets cancelled briefly.

In case it helps, this is what on average my build and set-up is every game:

  • Mastery Level: 7

  • Skin: Groovy Zilean

  • Summoner spells: Exhaust (D) and Flash (F)

  • Build: Talisman of Ascension, Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Sightstone, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Luden's Echo/Abyssal Scepter/Redemption/Deadmam's Plate

On a side note, it'd be great if a couple of issues could be fixed concerning Zilean's passive:

  • The biggest and most irritating problem is not knowing how much XP you're actually going to give to an allied champion. You're told how much XP you have stored up, and when you have enough to level up a champion. However, what it doesn't say is how much XP that champion needs, causing the highly frustrating scenario of having stored up about 300XP and only giving an insignificant portion (eg. 12XP) to that champion; and not only that, also having to wait 2 whole minutes before being able to try use the full extent of your passive again. Emphasis on "maybe".

  • Passive going on cooldown at the slightest touch. Having to wait 10 whole seconds after taking damage is basically losing your opportunity to level up someone in lane. During those 10 seconds about 3 melee minions can die and that's about 90XP that you miss you on giving, pretty much making his passive useless. Early levels that's huge, specially now with the ranged-supp meta that we're in, getting poked is way too easy and the passive going on CD constantly is a massive pain.

  • It'd be great to have a circle that tells you the range of the passive. Also the hitbox for giving any champion a level is extremely funky.

Alright those are my rants for now but I hope that at least the bug is dealt with, it's ruined a teamfight for me more than once. Also it'd be great to know how much XP your teammates need to level up, so the passive can be used effectively. Thanks for reading!
