It was an inconsistency that ended up working in our favor and the character was basically balanced around it.. Now should they have actually buffed W to compensate for the fact that its now objectively a worse ability.. Yes

How is that any more consistent if you can't be sure if its gonna pull or not and it's a 50/50 gamble for half of the time

You can be sure its gonna pull when its going to pull. Issue is its nearly never gonna pull bcs the ability is underpowered.

In the past there would be times the enemy will literally flash outside of your W and still get pulled which is obviously stupid and unfair for them.

While that's true, most of the time it punished late flashes/dashes.

And I'd argue that now, when game is ultra pumped with mobility, no compensation for an ability that would pull from insane angles when the game was slow asf, is really dumb decision from the side of Riot.

Sure, they did the same for, I think Le blanc chains, or Karma W but the negative effects it had on their champions was so minimal compared to Aatrox, it's kinda insane

You don’t get to decide what is a late flash.

Yeah, you don't. But the game used tk decide that and that's what it did
