[GAMEPLAY] Master Yi's Alpha Strike does not follow Jarvan IV's E+Q over walls

When Master Yi performs an Alpha Strike (Q) it places him next to the targeted enemy after the ability resolves. However, when targeting Jarvan the Fourth the ability does not follow Jarvan after he uses his E+Q combination to cross over a wall when he was on the other side of it when the damage was applied and the ability resolved and instead places Yi down without being moved to the target.

Estimated steps to recreate.

  1. Have a game with Master Yi and Jarvan IV on opposing team.
  2. Have Jarvan IV he his a Demacian Standard (E) with Dragon Strike (Q) after he has placed the flag on the far side of a wall .
  3. Have and Master Yi cast Alpha Strike on Jarvan IV Yi's Alpha Strike will cast successfully and he will be removed while the animation is performed and Jarvan IV takes damage on the far side of the wall but Yi will not be moved to the target, Jarvan, as intended by the ability.

Depending on the timing of when you are reappearing and where you are reappearing, you may not reappear on the otherside of the wall. Since his 'teleport' follows all the rules which applies to Flash, you could have just 'failed' the Alpha Strike's timing to follow. I would need a video to verify, otherwise this sounds like it's working as intended.

Maybe it's like flash, where if you flash into the middle of a wall, it'll push you to the nearest location that isn't in the wall. Where as, Jarvan is in the middle of the wall when Yi is supposed to come back from Alpha Strike, and get pushed to the closer wall.

One of Sky Williams' videos where he plays as Vi has pretty much the same thing done in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flUruPbPi8U at about 8:38, you can see how Yi's alpha strike works when he reappears while the target is in a wall.

Alpha strike lastshorter than j4 eq i think, so whikle j4 is still in the middle of a wall the alphastrike already ended and yi falls out.
