Pounce fails to deal damage if the target of pounce has no adjacent tiles available for the attacker

Reproduction Steps:
1. Deploy any champion with pounce, for example a Splinehawk. (IS/KF hawk)
2. Surround any target you want with champs, relics etc.
3. Use pounce on it.
4. The pouncing champion will relocate to the closest valid tile and fail to deal damage.
5. This isn't WAD but might be WAI.

Solution #1: make the ability deal damage even if there are no adjacent tiles available for relocation.
Solution #2: prevent the ability from being usable if there are no adjacent tiles available for relocation.

Could the ability text be updated to include that bit of information? Something like:

"This ability will NOT deal damage if this champion fails to relocate to a tile adjacent to the target of pounce." Not word by word but similar.

 

This feels correct to me. But solution 2 would be a GOOD THING.

On occasion, when attacking a 2x2, the Pouncing champ will end up two squares away and not attack. I thought it was a random bug but it may be linked to the particular square that was targeted on the 2x2. That’s a BAD THING.

 

So I've just come across a case when pounce failed to deliver its damage even though the champion was able to relocate to a space adjacent to the shrine.

 

This is after the lerper tried to pounce onto a shrine.

 

That sucks - what about the programmers?

 

Ok at least we know. To be clear...

Vs 2x2, Pounce will always consider the top left square as the target square. Even if the attack has been clicked into a different square of the 2x2 target champ.

Right?

 

This bug of where my champ used Pounce on an enemy 2x2 champ and did 0 damage cost me a game.

Please fix!
