This mechanic has been in the game as long as I can remember. (Been playing since season 2) It’s not even a bug, it’s a feature!
Very often you’d throw your abilities in bushes to check if someone was there, and has been a staple mechanic for many champions, especially skill shot mages.
Seems like an overlooked change made by an intern or someone at Riot who hasn’t played the game very long. As this seems like far to big of mechanic change to just throw randomly at the bottom of the patch notes bug fixes.
Definitely needs a revert.
EDIT: Upon further testing seems to have been removed only on pass through abilities, such as Zed Q, Gnar Q, Varus Q Lulu Q, etc.
EDIT 2: UPON even further testing this seems to depend entirely on the champion as both Sivir, And Tf do make sounds. So it’s maybe a bug?
