When I was Xin Zhao into Warwick Jungle, I found that if I used my Ultimate and Warwick used his at a close time. Warwick would supress me and get knocked back. I would still be supressed in the spot, however Warwick would continue to ult outside of my R hitting my ultimate shield. I found it quite disturbing that I would get rooted and found it unfair and unrealistic. Also I found if warwicks q leap went off he could entirely dodge my ultimate, in a similar interaction, I am however not sure of this. It seemed like my warwicks leap was prioritised over my knockback.

The Warwick leap part is intentional by design, he can't be disabled during that form of his Q. You should find that the damage from your ult is still inflicted.

As for the other one, that seems bugged.. Warwick is immune to disables during his ultimate leap, so if you use your ultimate early it should not push him at all. If you buffer it perfectly, it should in theory activate the knockback after he lands, at which point Warwick can be affected by disables such as your ult's knockback, but that should break him out of the channel.

The three possible conditions should be, if I understand the mechanics properly

You use your ultimate early and the knockback frame occurs during his leap, which has no effect
You buffer your ultimate at the right time and the knockback frame occurs when he is channeling the suppression, breaking him out of it
You attempt to use your ultimate too late and get suppressed, but he stays in melee range and the ult is never used, should still be available to cast.

Number 2 may not be possible depending on what frame after the ability cast Xin's ultimate knocks enemies back. But in any case, if the ultimate occurs and creates the circle around Xin, Warwick should either have his channel interrupted or be channeling on you from melee range.
