[Gameplay] Blitzcrank and Tristana bug
Playing as Blitzcrank, used Q (Rocket Grab) on Tristana, she used her W (Rocket Jump) as the Q hit her, causing the grab to stick on her and follow her through her jump without pulling her into Blitzcrank.

Hey xNightngale,
This is actually intended behavior. You'll notice a similar instance if Ezreal can Arcane Shift in time while he's getting pulled.
There are some abilities that allow people to escape Blitz grab, however your example is a great introduction to the clusterfuck that is Tristana jump. The interactions between her jump and all manner of CC is pretty much random and you can never rely on anything hitting, or not hitting her. As far as I can tell from my experience playing against her, with her, as her, if she jumps immediately after being hit, she can escape it, but if she jumps immediately before being hit it will often cancel her jump. This doesn't hold for everything, but things like Warwick ult, Morgana snare, Blitz grab, etc. Seems like that's how it goes for the most part.
As a blitzcrank main, ive come across this problem many times and its hella annoying. Either make it impossible to grab trist while she is rocket jumping or make it based on the actual animation. It shouldnt be based on some arbitrary timing, if the hook land it should pull... (also for those of you who dont know you still can hook a trist while she is rocket jumping as long as she doesn't pass the un-auto cast blue line, but blitz arm stretches a tad bit farther than the line suggest and if you hit her in that range it wont pull) Its not "counter play" its stupid luck.
