Unavoidable Abilities?

Not sure if it's a real bug, but at least wanted some clarification on certain abilities hitting even if you've moved out of range before they land. Two examples I've had is 's Guillotine and 's Leap Strike. I to the other side of a wall at the same time ulted & i got killed from well beyond his range. The other example is with and I riftwalked at the same time that did his Leap Strike (also died). In both instances they landed where I used to be, not where I was at the time I died. Is it just that abilities are unavoidable once activated even though visually it looks like you're safe? I can understand when it's a ranged ability, but this just doesn't make sense with melee abilities. Anyway, if it is what it is, that's fine. But if it should be more "logical", hopefully there can be a fix?

It's meant to be that way. If you kill the Jax mid air I believe it won't do the damage, but flashing/dashing away won't stop it.

^ Also, if it is a point and click moving skill like Jax Q, Pantheon W and they get disrupted from something like Draven's E midjump, the damage will not be dealt. And yeah, like ImFromMexico mentioned, if they also die midjump the damage will not be dealt. Otherwise it's unavoidable no matter how far you escaped. Great example - You have 50 hp and recall back to base. However as the recall is just about finished, Jax casts his Q(dealing 300 damage) on you. Your recall succeeded and you are back at the fountain just in time to take that 300 damage which kills you(assume you don't have Homeguard or a lot of freaking armor to miraculously prevent this death).

Cool, thanks for the comment. I've had the recall death happen once, too. But that actually landed at the instant my recall finished so I kinda expected that.
