Boot Kick:
Frequently when you boot kick at someone on a staircase you can phase through them. This has happened to me consistently in games yet I've been unable to re-create it in a training range scenario. I'll include video footage.

Werewolf Form
Go for the throat:
Your m1 will not buffer when casting Go for the Throat without already holding it. If you press and hold m1 after casting you have to release and re-press the m1 key to continue auto attacking. If you hold m1 during transformation it also will not attack without releasing and pressing again. I have no video footage but this is easy to replicate.

Tail Whack:
Tail Whack consistently misses minions and does zero damage to them. I have no video footage of this

Replying for more info about the Boot Kick bug as I've had it happen to me before quite often and always got confused. Managed to replicate it somewhat. Seems like its dependent on the stairs itself, as demonstrated between the two clips I've attached.
Note that some stairs are far more consistent than others, as shown in the first clip where it just never hits.
A fix for this is that jumping before using 2 makes it almost always hit.

The M1 buffer issue happens for both Go For the Throat and Tail Whack. If you are already holding M1 before using either ability, you're fine. But if you weren't already swinging, then use either ability and hold down M1 during the ability animation, you will stand there doing nothing after the ability animation (no M1 attacking) until you release and repress M1.

It is by the way a timing issue, and the timing problem is different for each skill.

Go For the Throat: If you hit 1 then instantly press and hold M1, there's no problem. If you hit 1 then press and hold M1 while Silver is facing the player (midway through the ability animation), nothing will happen after the ability.

Tail Whack: If you hit 3 then instantly press and hold M1, you'll encounter the problem where nothing will happen after the ability. If you press 3 then pause briefly before pressing and holding M1, you won't encounter the issue.

The fact this happens at all, and with different timing for each, makes Silver feel inconsistent in wolf form. Especially since you have limited time, it's frustrating when you don't attack because of lost buffering.
 
Actually Silver has another M1 buffer problem:

In wolf form, if you hold down M1 and then use the item Vampiric Burst while continuing to hold M1, Silver will stop attacking. You have to release and repress to keep attacking after using Vampiric Burst, which unironically makes the item pretty bad on Silver until this is addressed because you lose swing time trying to rebuffer your attack.
 
want to add that silvers ult keeps getting refunded in some cases even after using it, silver is downright a mess with how clunky and bugged her abilities are now

Honestly, it could be argued not to be a bug (but it certainly could be a quality of life)

The idea is that when you're biting, you're primal and hence you want to swing. Swinging a bit late, like in the wild, would have you staggering. But when you're swinging a tail, like an animal would, you would be locked out from swiping, so swing, orientate, then swipe. I know exactly what you are talking about, but my brain seems to just... accept it?

As if you're supposed to time when you start to hold M1. If that makes any sense?

I would not complain about a quality of life, but one can make a technicality that it's not a bug.

Unironically, however this is for sure a bug, and not a "skill issue".
