KIndred Q Interation with Gromp Patience

Not sure if this is intended but I have noticed that when playing as kindred, once the jungle monster start to lose patience, if you stand right next to the monster, and then q, the monster will lose patience. I understand that this is intended for melee range monsters in the jungle, but currently if i stand next to Gromp, q away but still within his attack range, he would lose patience. I noticed this earlier and I am not sure if this is intended or a bug.
