[Gameplay] Kalista re-bind bug

This bug occurred for me (as of yet only once, but I will update if I notice it again) while playing Kalista and trying to switch my bound teammate. I re-bought the binding item and clicked on my jungler, which is how I thought that it should work. However, upon doing this I hear the bell toll (the sound that occurs when you bind with someone) and the item went on cooldown, but there was no channel and I was unable to rebind to him. I attempted this multiple times to no avail, both of us moving, both of us standing still, nothing worked. I also tried different teammates in case that was the issue, but that also did not work. I am not sure if this occurs everytime someone plays Kalista, but the steps I took to have this happen were:

  1. Play Kalista
  2. Re buy the binding item later in the game (this occurred at around 10-15mins in for me)
  3. Try and rebind with a different teammate than the original bound member.

**note: I also tried to re-bind with my current bound member to see if that would somehow remove them as my bound teammate, but this too made the bell toll sound and put the item on CD, very strange. Will update this post if it occurs again.

don't think this is a bug. i thought it was part of the game that you COULDN'T Rebind after a set time has gone past in any game? to prevent continuous change ups through the game n such. pretty sure people would just change their bound champ late game to their carry just to use it as a "get out of jail free card" i could be wrong though

I encountered something like this in a ranked game tonight. I was playing Sona and my Kalista did not start the game until we were all at level 3. Not sure why. However when she went to bind with me it would not work. She was able to throw me but I did not have any control over the direction being thrown. She tried to link with me several times but just didn't happen. Definitely a bug. I tried to report it but of coarse the chat for reporting a bug is closed.

I really hate the bug reporting. Riot why is it not in the client like most games. Separate issue and please open up the chat so I can report a bug that actually caused us to lose lane and contributed to a ranked loss.
