Sona Power Chord/Teemo Shroom Interaction?

Orreos·11/7/2018, 12:56:39 AM·4 votes·2,770 views

In the most recent patch notes, Twisted Fate's E was bugfixed so that the empowered auto attack is no longer consumed when he attacks a Teemo Shroom. Can we get a fix for Sona's Power Chord in the same manner? When she has a Power Chord ready and auto attacks a Teemo Shroom, Nidalee Bushwack Trap, Jhin Lotus Trap, Gangplank Barrel, or Illaoi Tentacle the Power Chord is consumed in what seems like a bug. It makes sense for her Power Chord to be consumed on something like a Shaco Box, Zyra Plant, or Heimer Turret because those are health based and the Power Chord deals bonus damage. Shrooms and other traps on the other hand, seem to be coded more similarly to wards in that they have a set amount of auto-attacks to destroy them and Power Chord makes no difference aside from you losing the proc if you have it. As a result of this it seems like it would make a whole lot more sense if they also behaved similarly to wards by not consuming Sona's passive. Is this how the interaction is intended, or has it simply gone unaddressed for 3+ years now?

EDIT: added more things that consume the passive

Also does the same against GP's barrels, which also consume Cait's autos...

Oh, and for Illaoi's tentacles.

I think a good look into consumable auto enhancements could be useful here, I don't know many myself but there are plenty that will slip under the radar if we simply just use one's we can think of. I'm aware that Urgot consumes his shot gun knees when firing at Illaoi's tentacles, and I'm not sure about interactions with other targetable units

Can we fix Sona to actually be a playable character, before we fix her interactions? She's been the weakest support in League since Patch 4.13. I'm genuinely surprised somebody discovered she has a negative interaction with shrooms, they're risking being reported for intentional feeding just by locking her in.

The real problem with sona is that shes just bugged. Her auto attacks constantly go on random targets that are NOWHERE near your cursor or sometimes you cannot auto a target at all until you autoed something else first. This always happens when changing auto targets while using power chord, 100% reproducible but never fixed. It's also fairly common for her ult to not do anything whatsoever.
