Can Rek'Sai please be allowed to harmlessly Unburrow while silenced if she attempts to melee?

I'm not saying "Let Rek'Sai use her knockup while silenced", rather "Have the automatic Unburrow on melee attack not affect any targets while Rek'Sai is silenced".

Silence doesn't prevent champions from using their basic attack, but in Rek'Sai's case where she needs to spend most of her time burrowed to function properly (and to initiate teamfights), it does. It feels incredibly unintuitive when attempting to attack someone while burrowed causes you to hug to them like a soft pillow, wondering why you're not doing anything. You could say it's "counterplay" to the champion, but as it is now it's just not right, like that feeling when you attempted to Powerball a tower as Rammus.

Why remove what little counterplay Rek'Sai has?, let's look for a second the champions who can EVEN silence her:

Chogath Soraka Garen Fiddlesticks Blitzcrank Malzahar

Most of those have almost no escape tools aside from their silence (Maybe Cho has his huge knockup, but hitting a mobile champion with it is an awful experience, and well, fiddles fear) so giving Rek'Sai this little weakness on targets she would otherwise find extremely easy to jump on is really fair. I mean, silence has always been a tool for counterinitiation, so screwing up Rek'Sais initiation with it is just fair.
