I was just playing with LeBlanc, and as I was escaping I hopped out, then Darius pulls me back to my first platform. I was pulled before I hopped and when I landed on my other platform I was pulled back to his team. Rito pls

Darius's E only checks if someone was in range when he pressed E, not if they were in range at the end of the animation. As such, you can escape before his E finishes the animation, but if you were in the E at the beginning you still get pulled.

Just to add to this.

IIRC, that's how most ground-targetting abilities (such as Annie's W, Cho'gath's W, etc) function. However, Darius's E has a longer than normal cast animation and moves the targets, so the result is much more apparent.

I believe this started to happen when Dunkrius came into existence. Ive been playing him for a long time and i never ever could pull someone if he falshes.

If you can read the opportunity when they dash, you can land it more often. Fuck mobility creep. Pls don't fix.

It's been around for a long time.

It's pretty timing dependent and it can be hard to do intentionally for blinks. It's easier to time for dashes, especially telegraphed ones, since the timing is easier to predict.
