Why these exceptions to the rule?

There are many champions with windups or channel abilities (velkoz, kat, mf, fiddles poppy). Drop a stun when they start the channel or windup and boom, canceled. Perfect, im fine with that.

I would like to be explained how is the reasoning behind 3 different cases of AOE windup. Gnar, Darius and Sion.

Gnar (W on mega) has the shortest windup and range between the 3 champs im discussing, he gets stunned, he doesnt get canceled. Darius has a decent enough range, his windup is slightly slower than gnar's, but he can move, he gets stunned, spinning axe goes trough. Sion has the biggest range of all 3, but the channel is almost double of the time, not to mention he cant move nor use any other spells. He gets stunned, his windup gets canceled, his mana is not refunded and his ability goes on cd for 2-3 secs.

Some might argue that Darius is a juggernaut and he gets special treatment. Ok? Well, Gnar isnt. Some might argue that Sion cant be interrupted by cc on his ult. Well, thats an ult on ~100 secs cd.

So why Darius and Gnar are not treated like the rest of the champions on that regard? Its unfair.

It seems to me your lumping together "channel abilities" with "cast times/delayed effects" and they are not the same thing.

Sion Q is a channel that charges for as long as you want to charge it until the ability completes or you activate it early.

Both Mega Gnar's W and Darius' Q are abilities will long(ish) cast times or short delay's depending on how you want to look at it.

They are fundamentally different types of ability and no one is getting "special treatment" here unless we're trying to say that each champ is special and gets the specific treatment that applies to said champion.

What ability on gnar are you talking about? His ult? W? Q?
