Whats the point of jump abilities if you still get hit when leaping away or towards

Why is it that champions like Aatrox and Kha'Zix have jumps that can be stopped and still be focused on when they go up high then Fizz when he is on his pole, if your going to make it to where he is in the air and cant be targeted why cant everyone that gets off the ground not be targeted? All jumps that just kill you when u try to get away or anything. Any pulls still connect and stuns still connect and all ignights and things of that nature still do damage, but Fizzes pole negats all those as if he went gold.

What's the point? The point is balance. You have to remember, THIS IS A VIDEO GAME. Video games don't care about real world logic, they care about balance. If every champion in the game with a jump was untargetable during their jump, there would be some serious balance issues across the board. Why? Because their kits aren't balanced around them being untargetable during their jump.

Fizz is the only one that gets to be untargetable because his ability specifically says he becomes untargetable. The reason why he gets it is because, well, he's an assassin. Every assassin in the game has some sort of defensive ability to help them survive, and this just happens to be Fizz's.

Lastly, although Fizz's pole makes him untargetable, it doesn't make him completely invulnerable to damage. While it may help him avoid certain spells, it won't do anything to help him against spells like Ignite, that deal damage over time. It also doesn't protect him from tether abilities, like Fiddlesticks's Drain or Morgana's ultimate. If a tether or DoT ability is used on Fizz before he hops on his pole, then those abilities will stay on him even through his pole.

If those jumps couldn't be stopped those champs would be broken.
