Why doesn't Rek'sai go under barrier skills when creating a tunnel

Ok, so I noticed this when I fought enemy champs like Veigar and thought about his barrier stun, and thought to tunnel under it to avoid the stun (since, you know, logic tells me since you can tunnel under terrain, then you can tunnel under barriers too), but, somehow, I was stunned and faced veigar's 1-2-3 combo. I tried this again with Karthus and his barrier slow. Again, I was affected by the slow. Yet, I could easily get inside JarvanIV and his ultimate. Have not tried yet if I can go underneath Anivia and her wall of ice. Wondering if they should add avoiding all skills that give effects when passed through as he creates tunnels or not?

It's probably programmed as a dash even though the animation has her tunnel under the ground.

You will be able to go through Jarvan's ultimate and Anivia's wall without issue.

Veigar's Event Horizon is specifically programmed to stop dashes. Karthus' Wall of Pain is still being passed through so it will take affect.

Probably riot's reasoning but yeh good point.

It can go through physical walls like Trundle's pillar but it can't go through other things.
