Poppy's heroic charge bugged?

So I happened to play a game as poppy (shielding head from thrown bottles). And I noticed that people are able to cast spells while i'm pushing them with e. If I remember correctly, previously when you were being directly pushed by Poppy you were rooted/stunned. However during this game (yes I watched the replay and confirmed, it wasn't just bad timing) people were casting abilities while being pushed, preventing them from being slammed into a wall. This included lucian's e, trist's w, and I was stunned by leona while I was pushing her. Is this an intended change I just missed, or is it currently bugged?

Heroic Charge does not stun unless the target strikes terrain, so I would think that this is not a bug, and the enemies are simply casting their spells during or immediately before your attack. Displacement abilities cancel and replace active displacements, so you do not get the entire push distance if your target uses their dash during the charge. This is the same reason Thresh can cancel Tristana's rocket jump or Corki's dash.

Heroic charge seems to be the staple of poppy's moves, however its the one move that needs a massive look at during her rework.

too many times has an ezreal, yi, kat jumped out prior to being smashed into the wall. sometimes even AFTER they hit the wall they deny the stun and warp off.

not mentioned here is the amount of Collision issues it tends to have too, Poppy's E tends to lose most of the time except for nidalee's leap the big issue is its a targeted move that to make the most out of it u have to slam ppl into walls, which btw alot of these walls have bushes infront of them...
