Nasus super slow q glitch (Gameplay)

Occasionally, Nasus's q animation becomes super slow and cannot be cancelled. The time it takes for the q to deal damage becomes around 2 (or higher) seconds depending on your ping. I was playing when the ping spikes randomly and at 400 ping the animation took 6 seconds to be completed. All damage is dealt only once the q animation is over. If it happens to Nasus in a team fight or in lane, it is impossible for them to have any counter play. Steps to activate this bug are the following.

  1. Normally auto attack a minion.
  2. While the auto attack animation is happening activate q so there can be a reset for the autoattack once it is over.
  3. Before the animation deals damage, cancel it by clicking on another minion.
  4. Q gliltch will happen: It will not deal damage if the target dies or escapes auto range, however the animation will have to be completed before another action can be taken.
  5. Any cc that nasus is placed under during this animation time will not occur until nasus has finished the animation.
  6. The glitch can happen anytime you have your q up. Once you get the hang of the timing you can always do it.

I can confirm for myself this has been happening to me. I just googled for this bug and your thread popped up. My ping is totally fine(~70ms), but ya this definitely happens to me. It looks like you are suddenly getting hit with a huge attack speed debuff just for the moment when you hit Q. I have no idea what causes it...and for that no idea how to recreate it, but it's a rather serious bug if it happens in a fight.

Additionally, i don't know if this is WAI or not, but when I'm chasing someone and trying to hit them with the Nasus Q, sometimes it just shows the animation but the attack is not dealt. I think it has to do with the actual attack range I have at the moment of the strike, but needless to say it is annoying to watch this happen.

This has happen to me consistently. And it only affects you, everyone else is moving fine. In my experience you can trigger it by clicking on your target more than once.
