@Avernus23 from Patch 5.22 "Historically, the way empowered basic attacks would affect their target if they'd fail to hit (due to Teemo's Blinding Dart, Pantheon's Aegis of Zeonia, or Jax's Counterstrike) has been pretty inconsistent. In some cases they'd do nothing, in others they'd apply crowd control (but no damage) and in a few they'd just ignore the status altogether. We've retooled these to more consistently meet expectations: if one of the following empowered basic attack misses its target, it won't deal any damage or apply any other effects. In cases where this is tied to a buff, that buff will be consumed as well."

I say "hinted" because prior to the patch there were a few tweets from devs saying that Block/Dodge/Blind would be getting a bit of love during preseason. I'm super glad they delivered on that claim :D
