Suggestion: Make Melee-Range Abilities and Autos Apply Damage Immediately
My suggestion is to make melee-range spells and autos apply damage as soon as you use them, instead of after/during the animation. This would prevent the flashing / dashing / etc. and still dying problem. I personally don't see the downside or any potential issues, please inform me if there are, this is just a quick fix I thought of to a problem.
