If the rocket is perfectly horizontal, standing close to the host (but far enough away from the rocket launcher not to abuse passing through it) or far from the host has no meaning (in that rocket example/instance), so why would it matter if i would pass closer rather than further? I could just the same jump whilst a little further from the host in the original round, i simply dont see the difference.

Regardless jumping over the hosts phase has never been a rule nor is it on the eventinfo, especially because people pass over the phases all the time.
