Blitz pull broken again?

So I am a fairly avid blitz player, he was my second or third most common pick last season, I was silver 2 in solo and gold 4 in 3v3 teams. It seems a few months back the description of blitz's Q where it says that they are stunned while being pulled by blitz actually meant they were stunned and not able to use abilities or spells (like someone who is stunned). Playing tonight I laned against an Ezreal/Thresh combo and later a Trist/Braum. both ezreal and trist were able to arcane shift / rocket jump away during the pull and from the spot of the grab, not from my location. Tristana at one point continued her jump despite being hit by my E mid-air and was able to land fine with no CC on her and walk away. Is this a bug with the new Tristana that she can no longer be interrupted during her jump? When did the stun stop being viable during blitz's pull? I distinctly remember him having this stun and people like ez not being able to jump away after landing a grab. This negates a major advantage that blitz brings to the team, if he can't land his grabs, he's basically a useless support besides the one knock up and minimal damage. Riot, please address this issue for one of my favorite champs!

TLDR: Blitz pulls and knockups are no longer interrupting shift or jump moves from champs like trist and ezreal, did I miss something here when it says they're stunned while being pulled?

If its in motion, it generally cant be stopped. Thats been a thing for awhile.

I made a thread about this yesterday. I was noticing the same issues with Wukong's ult... It wouldn't knock them up in the middle of dash moves like it has in the past.

I explained this in a different thread, but Arcane Shift and Rocket Jump have an uninterruptable cast time. If you CC them during that cast time, they'll still jump/blink away since... uninterruptable.

This was nearly always the case and is actually intended. Ezreal and Tristana cannot be interrupted while channeling their dashes (arcane shift and rocket jump). Basically you are grabbing them mid channel so the complete the jump anyway. If you instead grab them before the cast it will not happen. With Tristana it is possible to pull her out of her jump because Blitzcrank's grab is a displacement, pretty much any displacements can stop her once she is mid air.

TLDR: Trist/Ezreal dashes have cast times, and if you try to grab/CC them during that cast time they will complete the skill's animation regardless of any CC put on them during this cast time frame. Some CC affects will happen after the animation is completed.

Wiki: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Tristana -Non-airborne crowd control effects, such as stuns and snares, will take effect upon landing and will not cancel the jump. - All airborne crowd control effects, such as knockups and knockbacks, will cancel the jump and then complete their effects as normal. Note: the wiki is only referring to her being in the air and has finished the casting time.
