[GAMEPLAY] Viktor's Q Shield will remove the Tier 2 tower's shield completely

(quick edit for clarity™: it removes the aura shield from Viktor, not the tower. The title seems vague in retrospect)

To recreate this bug, follow the video, or read this:

As Viktor, be near a Tier 2 tower and get the Shield. Then, have a target to Q. Once you Q the target, note that you have a nice shield, from both your Q and your friendly tower. Note that after your Q shield wears off, your tower becomes disgusted that you are a transhumanist freak of robotics and takes its shield back. Viktor is left sad and confused since his own towers abandon him in his time of need.

As a control, I've also show that Diana for example keeps her shield fully after using her w by a tier 2 tower. Following the same steps of: get shield from tower, press shield button, lose ability shield, but keep tower shield as Diana. Apparently the Lunari please towers more so than the Glorious Evolution.

A more readable version of the first full paragraph:

1: As Viktor, Q a target to get a shield while under the effect of the Tier 2 tower's shielding aura.

2: Wait for your Q's shield to wear off.

3: Your Q wearing off also removes the tower's shield, while on your icons above items, the tower's effect claims to remain.

(Second Edit: There is another bug which has come up in another post, if you enjoy viktor, please take a look at this e bug: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/wWsn8JVU-viktor-e-bug?comment=0000 )

Third edit: I think that this might be a leftover from when they fixed that post-rework invincibility bug that Viktor had Things that have been ruled out:

-"Every champion does this." Literally viktor is the only special snowflake with this bug.~~ I haven't tested Urgot or Shen's ult though.~~ I am in the process of uploading a video with every shield except Bloodthirster, and items not available on summoner's rift. I also forgot barrier, but anyone can test that.

-"It's because Viktor aa'd." This was tested with Vi's e procing her passive shield, and then an additional autoattack, and she kept her tower shield.

I seriously thought you were saying that if Viktor uses Q near a tier 2 turret it removes its shield XD

Kinda sad it doesn't :(

Viktor is getting pretty popular, I hope this bug gets fixed in time for VIktor's nerf
