Summoner Rift Beta, Master Yi's Alpha strike

Well I am not so sure if this is a bug or if it was intended, but when you auto attack the Dragon followed by a Q or Alpha strike, it literally gets canceled with no damage dealt from the ability; you still get knocked back. At a bare minimum you should at least do damage, especially for the long cd Yi has. maybe it was just a fluke when I did it, I only tried that combo once.

Sounds similar to an interaction I've seen a couple times in one game against Azir's ult.

Current game build doesn't seem to properly resolve Yi's Alpha Strike properties when faced with outside effects that move enemy targets.

For me specifically it was Alpha Striking Azir and Azir ults in response before the animation had completed. The result was Azir was never reached, Yi reappeared at the point of initiation (Azir wall behind Yi) and then stuttered a frame until he was positioned at where Azir's ult would have pushed him back to (Azir wall in front of Yi).

I do not think this is the intended behavior for Yi's Alpha strike as it should be ignoring pathing and even terrain if a target where to walk within range/vision.
