[GAMEPLAY] (9.9) Hail of Blades is bugged on potentially ALL champions. It can fail to activate.

#EDIT: this is bugged on the PBE too. It is not fixed. Tested it Tuesday May 7, 5am eastern time, PBE server.

So I made a thread about Master Yi. I recommend reading it for context: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/YZFtfFKG-gameplay-patch-99-master-yi-e-disabling-hail-of-blades-for-one-auto-yet-another-hob-bug

After I had the bug trigger 4 times in one game, I decided I was going to pick up a different hail of blades champion. If Yi is bugged, then why play Yi when someone else can do it better? Turns out it's not just Yi that is bugged.

#I just reproduced the bug on Xin Zhao. https://youtu.be/SyTycTVDqYI

Watch my attack speed. When I reproduce the bug correctly, my attack speed will drop to 0.9 for one very slow attack, and then my attack speed will jump to 1.6 and perform 2 hail of blade attacks (knocking up on the second one) followed by one final (3rd) hail of blades attack after the knockup. So, slow AA -> HoB AA -> HoB AA + knockup -> HoB AA.

I reproduce it a few times at the beginning, I fail miserably to reproduce it through most of the middle, and then I reproduce it several times at the end. I am spamming right click, E, and Q. But from what I know about Yi, the bug can trigger randomly, even if I am not spamming buttons.

I used the "take my abilities off cooldown" button but I didn't leave it automatically enabled (I manually took my abilities off cooldown after each combo). So this isn't just a practice tool bug. You can reproduce this in a live game.

#Please let me know when this is fixed, because this is basically an "I don't want to play this game at all" tier bug. If you "ghost fix" it (fix it without notifying people, or as like, a 1 sentence footnote in the patch notes) I might never know it is fixed, and I may have stopped playing the game. lol I want to play bursty builds. If my rune fails to activate on my first attack, I will die. Instantly.

EDIT: Someone on Reddit says this bug also happens with Udyr. So that's 3 champs. There are probably a lot more.

I dont play enough HoB to know if this is a bug, but does it activate on the triggering strike for all non-Jhin champions? I thought they changed it to "3 attacks after the triggering one" or it has to do with attack resets, which do not consume stacks of HoB
