Rocket Grab (Q) Fixed a bug that allowed blink spells like Flash to transport people out of a grab after it had already hit and they were in the process of being pulled.
????????????????????????????????????
It been almost 8 years. Can you fix it for real?
HeyItzSteve2 votesThe Ezreal interaction with Blitzcrank when he uses E is intentional. Ezreal can dodge Blitzcrank Q when he blinks before the animation for the grab begins. He takes the damage because he was hit but blinks away because he blinked before right before the animation begins. Champions like Shaco, Kassadin, Tristana, and Kha'zix can also do this with their blink/leap.
The bugfix looks like it fixes a bug that involved blinking out of Blitzcrank Q after being pulled in although I can't confirm it.
Eedat3 votesIt's so intentional that they have a "bugfix" that specifically addresses blinks not being able to do that.
Riiiiiiiiiggghhhhhttttt

It literally says
transport people out of a grab after it had already hit and they were in the process of being pulled
It legitmately describes EXACTLY what Ezreal does to the T
HeyItzSteve3 votesIf Ezreal blinks before the animation of being pulling in begins, he is NOT in the process of being pulled. He already escaped the animation and is too far away for the animation to continue.
This bugfix was clearly not intended to fix the stated bug and is clearly intentional as the method has been used in the LCS several times, most notably is Tristana's W to evade Blitzcrank. No comments were ever raised due to the method.
Eedat3 votesHe doesn't blink BEFORE getting pulled. He blinks WHILE getting pulled
HeyItzSteve1 votesThere is a slight delay between when Ezreal's E is cast and the animation occurs which makes it look like Ezreal blinks during the pull. This interaction is what allows certain champions to dodge Blitzcrank Q.
nyakasgoods1 votesThis isn't a bug related to Blitz's Q. This is just Ezreal being allowed to ignore cc during the cast time of his uninterruptable blink.
Livin like Riven1 votesIn this example, the difference between Ezreal E is it gets casted, has a cast time where it has been casted while he's decidedly NOT in the pull, gets pulled, and the cast goes through assuming he doesn't die to the hook/other damage before the cast completes. Given that cast time and channel time are two different things, this is working as intended, so it was left alone.
Flash, on the other hand, is instantly casted. How, then, would you blink out of a Blitz Q with flash after it has already hit, if casting it prior to being hit means you don't get hit, or still get hit AFTER blinking, and casting it after being hit should be impossible while being transported to him? Shouldn't be able to, so it was fixed.
