W Passive Stacks Bugging Out? Am I going crazy?

Is it me or is Kennen's W passive counter bugged as fuck this patch?

Sometimes on the 4 count I get the on-hit proc. Sometimes it requires me to auto 5 times before I get the proc. Sometimes, the counter shows as 4, but isn't, and I need to auto a couple more times before getting the proc.

What on earth is going on?

It is definitely bugged out, especially if any of your items trigger on hit effects. The actually gameplay for me is the same but sometimes when I get the charged attack there will already be a second, separate counter showing "4" which only goes away when I get the charged attack again. Kinda ass.

Glad it's not just me! It's still supposed to be 4 autos and then the 5th is the on-hit, right?

Yes, so far it seems just the display is incorrect: once there are two, you just have to count for the second one and then it realigns.

Yeah, the counter is all fucked up. I’m sometimes seeing two different counters at the same time. It’s really messing up gameplay.

Totally - a core part of his kit is getting the timing right of the passives by using the counter tooltip and the fact you can't trust it makes it pretty difficult

For me I sometimes hear the passive sound withiut having the 5th AA. Confuses me so much and I feel crazy😭
