[Gameplay] Nidalee pounces in direction she is facing when cursor is too far away

Hopefully this is a bug - or at least a programing oversight - and not intentional.

Repro steps:

  1. Start a game as Nidalee and level up W first.
  2. Switch to cougar form.
  3. Unlock the camera and move Nidalee to one side of the screen, and have her face in that direction (E.g. if you place her on the left side of your screen, make sure she is looking left).
  4. Move your cursor to the opposite side of the screen.
  5. Cast W.

You should see her jump in the direction which she is facing, rather than towards the cursor, every time.

In the attached images, you can tell that my cursor is hovering over my Doran's Blade since it's info is being displayed. Nid is facing towards the turret, just outside of it's range. Then I cast W, it goes on cooldown, and Nid ends up within tower range. All the while my cursor remains on Doran's Blade.

I originally tested this on the PBE (along with a related bug involving her E), so I was able to confirm it on all her skins, as well as both the new and old Summoners Rift. I'm posting it here, though, because I tested it on the NA server and found it also occurs there.
