Snipe Cooldown longer than stated?

I recently maxed Snipe and was pretty happy with getting it to 5sec cd. I binded it to shift so I could see when it got off cd and make the most use out of it, but I noticed something weird, the cooldown timer goes down at a constant rate until that last "second" or however you would call the last blue part that state it still is on cooldown. I timed the cooldown against Velderoth and came to the conclusion it varies around 7 to 11 seconds with most often being around 9 seconds cooldown. I have Mercedes card, so I tried desactivating that, still the same problem. Tried taking of my 5th empress thinking maybe it screwed with it, still the same problem. Is it only me, am I going crazy or is that tooltip wrong?

TL;DR : Snipe cd at level 30 is between 7 to 11 sec.

Yeah the last tick of pretty much all cooldowns is always longer than intended due to the lag between the server and client.
The fact that Snipe has such a short cooldown and is used more often than most other skills with cooldowns makes it more noticeable.

Server sided lag makes Snipe's cool down closer to 10 seconds but with Hyper Skills once you reach 195 all that mess goes away.
