Can you do fountain hooks with ryze

So I was watching an old dota video I saw a long time ago, and was wondering if at the start of a fight ryze ulted when he saw an enemy tank engage if it would be a viable strat to have a blitz yoink an enemy tank or carry out of a fight or if its even possible?

I think it can but you'd have to have the perfect timing, as knocked up units can't get TP'd by Ryze's R.

To make it simple:

  1. Ryze R, then gets out of range.
  2. Blitz goes inside range, then waits for the right moment to pull.
  3. Blitz Q then R so that the champ can't dash away.
  4. Blitz and said champ are TP'd by Ryze's R.

For that it'd be better to do that to a squishy or a semi-squishy target. Since tanks WANT you to engage on them, it'd be a waste using a R or two on just one character that'll tank it anyway.

Also, you could do this with things like Taliyah, Alistar, Lee Sin, Pyke... Anything that has a nice displacement skill.

This could lead also to funny things like having Lee Sin Q into a minion, then throw that minion with Syndra/Sion into the R as Lee Sin Qs a second time. Watch the moment Lee Sin realizes how much you messed him up with that one.
