I'll start by saying I'm not 100% sure if this a true bug or not but noticed it in a game a few patches ago.

As Elise and in spider form when pressing "E" to Rappel after being within Graves' smokescreen AoE my screen was still being effect by his smokescreen. Being in spider form and having rappelled into the air (off the map/out of the smoke AoE) my screen was still affected by the skillshot. Again I'm unsure if this is intended to be this way but it's something that happened to me (though I have no visual proof). I hope I explained this well enough.

Pretty sure invulnerability doesn't cause your champ to go "offscreen", the xy coordinates stay the same. Since the smokescreen isn't damage or even hard/soft cc, you'll still be afflicted. Same thing applies to Noct's ult.

Not saying it might not be a bug, but it makes some sense.

This is definitely true. Seen it many times. Bug? I dunno. Generally, Graves' Smokescreen is underwhelming anyways in my book, and I can't say other champs don't do the same, nor that it's way off compared to other effects on Elise. She takes things like DoTs and tethers through Rappel. And I don't know what other examples there are of champions not effected by Smokescreen, but I'd guess Fizz actually is effected by it, it's either hard to see it or has a naturally small window (because Fizz is always moving/so mobile).

Even if he isn't effected at times, it could be because he's only effected if he is over the cloud and was in the cloud pre-hop, like Elise would be in Rappel. I also want to say that I think Vlad is effected by smokescreen when pooling through it, which would be another similar instance of a disappearing champion model in game. I don't think that the skill is bugged, necessarily, but wouldn't be surprised if it turned out it wasn't working as intended, either.
