[Gameplay] Ezreal can blink grabs

Ezreal during a grab, for example, Nautilus'Q.

  1. Try to hook Ezreal with Nautilus'Q.
  2. Ezreal blinks when anchor hits him.
  3. Ezreal gets the damage and the stun but blinks to targeted location. Nautilus is pulled to Ezreal ex-location.

Every time I play Nautilus against Ezreal this happens. Please, correct or give me a good reason why this happens.

Edit; My point is asking why it is like this, not how it happens. A knock-up should cancel cast for the sake of clarity, and there nothing on Ezreal Blink tooltip that says otherwise.

This is working as intended

It's the same way with Tristana. The reason it happens is because there is a small cast time to Ezreal's E and Tristana's W. If the grab hits them during that cast time, then the blink will still happen.

Not a bug. Been around since blinks have been a thing. Works with others like Shaco and Kass

That has been the way Ezreal blink has been forever. It's intentional.

Ability buffering. Since his Blink has a short cast time, if timed right you can ignore CC.

It functions in essence like the tristana rocket jump. it has a very short channel time that can't be canceled by CC

Mostly a balance issue. A very small issue, but still an issue. You make those abilities instant and you buff all the affected champions, you make those abilities interruptable and you nerf them all significantly.

It should also work with Flash, btw.
