Petition to add CC check before execution of buffered abilities

Currently in League of Legends, if you buffer an ability by casting it during the animation of one of your other abilities, after the first ability ends the game will not check if you are CC'd and will go straight into casting your buffered ability. What this means, is that if you buffer an ability and then are CC'd, you will still cast that buffered ability, even if the CC normally wouldn't allow it.

For example: Kha'zix casts Leap. During the animation of Leap Kha'zix buffers Taste Their Fear. Still during the animation of Leap, Kha'zix is Polymorphed. The animation of Leap ends while Kha'zix is Polymorphed. There is an ability command in Kha'zix's buffer: Taste Their Fear The game does not check if Kha'zix is under CC - it goes straight into executing the ability in his buffer. Result: Kha'zix casts Taste Their Fear while Polymorphed.

The same thing can happen under silence and stun. This would also allow a champion to cast a movement ability while rooted. This should be changed. It is not intuitive. It was not intended. Most people don't know that the game works like this, and are surprised when it happens to them. It is a bug.

What this is not:

Note that what I am talking about is different from something else people call "buffering", which is targeting a champ with an ability while out of range, causing your champ to cast that ability as soon as they are in range.

This is also different from starting the cast of an ability and being CC'd in the middle of the cast animation, which still allows that ability to finish.

This is also different from somehow casting abilities in between what seems like a perfect cc chain.

This is also different from timing differences on the server and client, making it seem like the order of events is different than how the server saw them. These bugs can be seen in replay files, which have perfect timing.

This is something that has been in the game for a while and really needs to get fixed. Video Examples: https://i.imgur.com/VF6yoTJ.mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drZWTzk9L_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wwCUFiiXik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wq7noBrJl8
