Why can't Gangplank W out of a pull from Blitzcrank?

So, I play pretty often, and it really doesn't seem right that his Remove Scurvy move (W) doesn't clear pulls.

The tooltip says it clears ANY cc, and for all other cc's, besides rocket grab pulls, this seems to be correct. If you're popped up, pressing W mid-air will bring you back to the ground faster. If it can halt a pop up and defy the laws of physics, it should be able to break the grip of a . It breaks 's grip.

It's difficult to time but if you could end a pull movement halfway through the pull, that's death averted in a lot of situations.

Anyways, I don't want to argue that eating fruit should break a robot's grip or that it should bring a pirate back to the ground faster in a pop up because of physics... my argument is the inconsistency with the tooltip. It says it clears any cc. A pop-up is a cc, a pull is a cc. They should both get cleared, not just pop-ups. So, is this an oversight or what, Riot?
