Trist rocket jump and EZ arcane shift, coded as "cast" and not "channel", intentional?

right now rocket jump and arcane shift are coded to have a .25 CAST time

the keyword here is "CAST" because of the way "casted" spells work they are uninterruptible. now, most CAST times are either VERY short, or instantaneous. were as "channel" times are longer and can be interrupted

becuase these spells are coded as "casts" and not "channels" they will ignore the effect of any form of CC

aka the big issue is if you try to rocket grab a or they will ignore it.

now.. these are the ONLY two mobility abilities in the game that work this way. because for some reason they have been coded as "casts" and not "channels"

so.. yes.. the skill is working exactly how it is coded... but i think its it coded wrong.

...um, Blitz can pull Trist out of jump, since hers is a dash. EZ will not be pulled, since his is a blink.

They are not channels. So them being able to ignore it like that is intentional.

Did you hear that Rito? You've been WRONG all along. I suggest you fire the persons in charge of making this game or at the very least have them resign for coding the game WRONG. Leading expert on WRONG code, SwiftKitten88, has released this report explaining why your code is WRONG. Please fix this code because it is WRONG.

As much as you think this is not how it should work or should be coded, it is working 100% as intended. Riot knows about this interaction, with some of them even posting on here that it is intended and not a bug. If you want to talk about how it should be, it would be better to do so in a different section, like Gameplay or possibly Miscellaneous.

Dude, majority of abilities work like this. It also makes no sense for them to be channels as they're instant cast abilities with a rolling animation, it would just make them clunky as hell.

you are aware this applies to Lucian as well right, but again its intentional because of how they made the ability

Your example of Blitz grabbing a Trist mid rocket jump is not true. You can grab her mid jump and it will bring her to you. Ezreals ult is working as intended (uninterruptible).
