Caitlyn E is glitching when interacting with stuns

I have noticed that in the past few games I have played as Caitlyn, her E is interacting strangely with both Taric and Leona stuns. Sometimes it will go off fully (the projectile will fire, do damage, and apply the slow, and Caitlyn will be knocked back) but the stun will still apply at the end of the movement. Other times the projectile will fire but do no damage and not apply slow, and Caitlyn does not get knocked back but is stunned in place. Then sometimes absolutely nothing will happen with the E and Caitlyn will be stunned but E will go on full cooldown as if it went off. This bug has become increasingly frustrating, and I would appreciate if it could be addressed soon. Thank you.

I don't know that this is a bug. It has more to do with the timing of the stun in relation to you net. I'll address them in the order that each situation was listed.

1st) Your net fully proc'd before the stun, allowing the full animation, effect, and displacement before being stunned.

2nd) The stun proc'd before your net did, BUT AFTER the net's animation which is slightly ahead of the actual net

3rd) The stun proc'd before both the net and the net's animation, but after the skill's actual activation, resulting in an immediate stun and the skill going on cooldown.

This is due to how the collision detection is programmed, and I've had my fair share of experience with them as Caitlyn is my most played champion since account creation.
