Guardians will occasionally start a melee animation then cancel it as you move past them

I think this happens specifically with the staff slam melee check last video for details

How to recreate: Dash jump past a tower a few times until it uses the staff slam melee

In the clip I simply walk up to the guardian and parry and it still does the melee "pump fake" but I cannot for the life of me recreate this without dash jumping

The video below makes it more obvious that the problem is with the staff slam animation for two reasons:

• The only melee the guardian follows through with is the right hand punch
• The guardian looks like it's trying to do a staff slam when it cancels but this could be the guardian losing targeting and returning to it's idle stance

A really annoying inconsistency. Used to be very tilting in solo lanes.
