So I was reading up on Fizz Q

And I saw that if you flash away while he is in mid flight, he will miss and not damage you.

so as I was thinking, and I remembered something

all those hundreds of deaths I have accumulated over the years

Where a Tryndamere (or Xin, or other melee auto attacker) kills me by slapping the ground where I was a 0.1 seconds ago, post flash.

Shouldn't melee basic attacks work the same way as fizz Q? It just looks really stupid when Blitzcrank gets a ranged knockup

No, auto attacks are targeted spells. Cannot miss unless you are Kalista. This is intended to work as such

Uh? It's a melee attack. You already got in melee range to hit it. Fizz has to finish the dash into melee range, that's why you can flash the damage. You were never in range, so you never got hit by the damage.

Rito actually changed it to be that way not too long ago.

It is working as intended. Yes, even Blitz. And yes, you can't escape Rengar's Q-charged AA while he is jumping on you, even with flash, and yes, it looks strange considering that fizz example. If attack starts, it will hit. It also works on spells(hi, Malzahar's sometimes super-long-ranged ultimate)
