Kalista's Ulti - Killed Mid-Animation [GAMEPLAY]

I was playing as Annie, and was bonded to the Kalista. At one point, I flashed and ulted 2 enemies, causing them to become stunned. 2 more enemies came around the same corner, causing the Kalista to use her ult to call me back, presumably to save me from certain death.

However, the enemy champions somehow did enough damage to me during the animation for Kalista's ulti that I died, even though I was in the ulti screen (I had the sepia-tone screen with the targeting indicator).

Is there a time during the animation where a champion can still be killed, even though Kalista successfully (according to the fact that I had the targeting screen) pulled off the call-back?

This probably doesn't help much but I had a similar issue when playing Kayle, where I had ulted, my ult timer did in fact go off, and the bubble flashed on me confirming its activation... but I still died.

It may or may not simply be related to ping. What you or others see isn't always what happens as it happens on the servers. In the grand scheme of things, a fraction of a second doesn't seem like much, but in terms of coding and programming, it means everything since the effect to be registered first usually takes precedence.
