Pls fix jax against GP

I'm a jax OTP so I experienced this a lot.

Expected result:

  1. bait Gangplank Q
  2. pop Jax E
  3. block dmg from Gangplank Q
  4. jump him and kill him, because Jax > Gangplank

Actual result

  1. bait Gangplank Q
  2. pop Jax E
  3. get 30% of your HP taken from a single Gangplank Q while you jump him
  4. watch Gangplank eat an orange to get out of your stun, pop his ult, put down his barrel and chase you down like the scrub you are.

Notes:

  1. Jax E works, if you cast it before Gangplank fires his Q
  2. Not sure if Gangplankhaving a sheen/trinity force has an effect on this interaction (I suppose it might - I'm not sure I've seen it happen before Gangplankbuilds sheen, but then again, Gangplankdoesnt really poke before sheen, so it could be just luck)

I would not say that this is a 10/10 bug. But that might be, because you sometimes predict his Q as it is so obvioius so when he fires, your E is already active. But this definitely happens like every game I'm against Gangplank.

Please make Jax great again

Looking at the replay again, it seems that there is a delay between E being cast and the effect being active. That explains this interaction. But I don't think that this delay was there in the past. Is it designed to have a short delay after the cast?
