https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/9c1tEZJp-fix-it-tristana-w Here I already wrote about this and with the announcement of Harpy (Xayah) it's time to remember Tristana again.

Why Xayah's jumps to a meter and avoids all sorts of damage but Tristana's jump over the stratosphere can be interrupted by such delusional (in terms of logic) skills, like the roots of Zyra, Blitzcrank's Q before him, Tresh's E under his feet, etc.? Give Tristana's jumps a mechanic that allows her to fly freely in orbit, and not be knocked down by a bug passing by.

It is because of gameplay balancing that they don't do that. Tristana was never balanced around having nothing affect her during jumps, Xayah in all likelyhood is.

the Problem why tristana can be stopped is because her jump in that sense is coded like an actual dash and therefore can be interrupted like one by stopping the animation via cc

There is no z-axis in league which is why jumps like Tristana's or Kha's still do not protect you from skillshots. Untargetability works against everything not only skillshots and is therefore a very unique ability that should not be handed over to every champion with a dash that looks like a jump. Tristana's jump is already very forgiving as it cancels CC that hits her during the W cast time.

In this game, balance beats logic*[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]*
