Azir- Gangplank Bug

So it seems Azir is bugged (again).

If a Soldier is in range to attack one of Gangplanks barrels, it will eat the animation, but deal no damage.

What this essentially means is, if Azir has a soldier in range of the barrel, he CANNOT destroy them.

Now I'm wondering if this is intentional. The Azir rework removed the attacking-wards thing (fair, even if I did abuse it maliciously), so I'm thinking this could be treated the same.

Now honestly I don't have much a problem with it being removed (I'd rather not but if you must), but at the least I'd like for this NOT to override my own Auto Attack (so as to not be eating an explosion every 4 seconds).
