Damaging shields doesnt stop backs?

I remember this being a thing some time ago, but i vaguely remember it being changed. Long story short i just had a game where malphite was backing so i hit him with an auto, his base didnt cancel so i hit him 2 more times with autos, still didnt stop him. I would have broken the shield with one additional auto but it completed before that. Is this a bug or is it a feature of recalling?

Damage mitigated by shields is not considered as damage taken by the champion. Recalling stops upon taking damage, but because the shield blocked the damage, the recall still completed.

Of course it doesn't.

If damage is shielded, the damage was dealt to the shield, not to the player.
