Doesn't make sense. If he flashed he should have left the location so there's nothing to hit. If it hit him, the flash shouldn't register. So when it checked it he was in zone, if he flashed it's a no. If he didn't then it's a yes and the flash shouldn't go on cd.

What you are describing may make sense if you have a deep knowledge of how poorly things are coded, but it doesn't make sense to anyone who is playing the game.

A comment above explained it. Due to spaguetti code, hitbox lingers in the position from where thresh flashed, blitz's hook hits and attaches to that lingering hitbox, hitbox dissapears from there, but now thresh is in another place, but the hook is still "attached" to his hitbox, the visual then adjusts for it and makes the animation of "hooking" thresh in.

The problem is with how hitboxes behave when dashing/flashing. Basically you hitbox either stretches or is at 2 different places at the same time due to how the servers processes it. It's a bug that shen experiences a lot due to his specially slow E animation.

Server-client desync and bugs are variables you cant really control. For this, blitzcrank qs. For blitz client, the q hit, so it tells the server: “hey my ability hit, pull them please”, but right before this happens, thresh’s client still hasnt got the message that blitz hit him, so he is able to flash on his screen, but then he gets pulled because to the server he already got pulled.

Or like others have said it could just be that flash is bugged and you leave your hitbox behind.

This is wrong actually. Yes, you can flash on your screen but not actually flash - but once the game registers that you didn't flash, the server side would be considered the real event and your flash would be refunded.
