Sona's aura issues

So not sure if this counts as a gameplay issue or a "bug". But have been noticing that their is this really awkward half second to full second where Sona's auras will still display the particles as if they are active, but have in fact run their course. In other words, there is this really awkward moment after each aura is used, where it looks like you should be able to tag your allies since your aura is still visible, but it does nothing when you tag an ally.

Tagging allies extends the duration of the aura, but each ally can only be tagged once per aura cast. So if you press Q, and tag all 4 teammates very quickly, the aura is extended, but you can no longer apply it to your allies since they've been touched by it once. Same for the shield and MS buff.

I am aware of the time added and the limit of once per ally. The issue i am trying to bring up is that there is a small time period where the aura is still visible, but you can't tag an ally who has yet to receive the bonus from the aura.

It would be like is Bard's portal took a brief moment to "decay" when its time was up. For a brief moment it looks like you should be able to use it, but clicking on it does nothing. Sona currently has a thing where the particles for her auras remain/decay for a brief moment after their timer is up. This make it very awkward when your aura fails to effect a target despite the visuals looking like they should still work.

Then IDK. I play her a lot and I've never noticed this issue :/
