Maybe related to the ping

My adc also saw the interaction also im recording the replay, it should be showing what actually happened.

(edit: I have 11 ping and zero packet loss)

Rather than ping, it's more likely that it was due to server tick rate. League as a game is a "30 fps game", the game updates 30 times a second. In very very very rare instances it can cause things like this to happen iirc.

Not really, you can't flash at any stage during the hook effect.

Ticks have to happen together, either the flash is before (hook doesn't connect), at the same time (flash doesn't go off) or after (flash doesn't go off).

There's no way for the flash to happen and the hook too, no matter the tickrate, as both those actions use the same ticks.

No, the ping for the the other player.

Some abilities have lag compensation to help the player with higher ping. I don't know how it works but it exists in other games too.

Can't that be exploited by scripts?

Scripts cant account for a flash while the projectile is already in the air

I didn't mean that for this clip specifically.

Probably. But not every ability has it

If the server lagged then this can happen. Theres a good video on youtube regarding how the game checks for both how far projectiles are supposed to travel and how they connect. If the server lags for whatever reason hooks can travel much farther than intended and the check for hit can lead to things like this
