Video provided shows Blitzcrank powerfist after pull fails to knock up Aurelion Sol. I am unsure as to why this powerfist failed as opposed to all my other ones that game on Sol.

As you can see in the video I proc my Bandit mastery (10g) on-hit with powerfist but it doesnt apply a knock-up.

edit: Managed to do it again today! Here's a second video this time on a Sona! Also super close to wall...

My best guess as to why it didn't knock him up is because I pulled him into a spot where his character didn't entirely fit (partially in the wall) so it was re-positioning him away from the wall a bit while I power fist which prevented the knock-up.

In patch 6.13 his hook was changed to pull 75 units in front of Blitz instead of directly on top of Blitz, what I want to know is what happens when 75 units in front of blitz is a wall and not enough space for a champion. @Meddler

Upvoted for visibility.

I would guess the reason is that the knockup was overwritten immediately with another displacement. Is it possible he was able to use his e (I think that's the one that lets him fly over walls). He wouldn't have momentum and I don't play him so I'm not sure how that would work, but possibly the powerfist knockup was immediately overwritten by a delayed cast on that, and then that ability was canceled due to him taking damage? That's all I can figure, otherwise it must be a bug,

Bump for third video...
