Perspective makes it look weird, but that was a clear miss. The targeting reticle for Fate's Call isn't even close to overlapping with Nidalee's Pounce.
Despawning projectiles are lame, but you had more than enough time to react to it.
#1 isn't a bug.
#2 is a general skillshot graphical bug. But compared to the old invisible skillshots from fog glitch, that's nothing to really complain about.
