Why do empowered-auto attacks go through spell shield now?

Granted, it does still block the cc, but the damage still goes through. This has killed me in some situations, and i know that a post was made that they do block damage. But, why change it and not give any notification of it?

Darius's Crippling strike, not auto attack. Power fist, not auto attack.

Empowered auto attacks are spells, i never said that auto attacks go through spell shield

bc its a Autoattack not a spell. I could rant and explain it further but that's the simple answer.

No, the ability is a spell that empowers the next auto attack

If the auto attack is empowered with a spell-effect the spell shield blocks the effect, but if the auto attack is empowered with bonus damage the damage is not blocked.

Interesting discussion. I feel like it should block the extra damage. It would block a pantheon Q. I don't see the difference. The 'spell' should be blocked. AKA Blitz Q damage, Darius W, etc.
