Rammus Q (Power Ball) bug [GAMEPLAY]

I don't know if it's fixed by now but some time ago I noticed that Rammus's Q might be bugged. (Happened when I was playing Rammus as well as when an enemy was playing Rammus in different games)

how to 'activate' the bug (this appears RARELY)

  1. activate your powerball
  2. click on a target (enemy champion, enemy minion or jungle monster)
  3. once you are in front of your target you may suddenly stop (as in freeze in place). Your powerball will still be activated. (It has the same effect as if you activate your powerball and press 'S', the only difference being that it's in front of a target). The target also doesn't get knocked up. Re-clicking the target doesn't help and the same will happen as described in point number 3. Only if you click behind your target (meaning that you'll essentially roll through them), they will get knocked up and your powerball goes on cooldown.

If the powerball effect ends when having the bug it'll just go on cooldown as it would do normally.

Note that this happens RARELY (every 1/20 games I guess)

I think it's because you might be positioned in such a way that you are in Rammus's auto-attack range but not in the Q-hit range, (meaning that Rammus tries to auto-attack but isn't able to because he is in his powerball state and meaning that he doesn't move towards the target because the game thinks that you areal already on the target).

It's not really game-breaking, but just REALLY annoying

Give our Rammus some love and remove this Khazix (<-- kha is a bug for the people who didn't understand this joke c: )

I had similar issues with rammus! I love to play him, but its really annoying when you try to hit an enemy with power ball and rammus just follows the enemy in this form, instead of running into them and triggering the knokup. I already am used to klicking behind the enemy to run into them, but i dont think thats how it is supposed to be. The other thing is his interaction with gragas. Whenever gragas uses body smash (his dash) against rammus in his power ball form, rammus is knocked back but still in his power ball form without triggering it (even though he made the contact with gragas)

I main Rammus but anyways this is a great ISSUE that happens a lot with many different champs AS WELL AS CAMPS, DRAGONS, AND BARON. This was not the case until s5? I have seen it occur multiple times within the same game as well.

What I predict is that while in powerball clicking on a champ to attack him moves Rammus towards them and when he is in Auto Attack range he stays in that range(moving with the enemy while still in powerball form) even after the ability is over. Rammus stays in that range as if he is going to Auto Attack but (obviously) can't. The only way to hit the enemy is to click ahead of your target and force rammus to move in to the range where his powerball knockup will trigger. How did it take for the zz rot bugitem 3512 to get fixed yet this bug persists! I hope this is fixed soon RIOT.
