Why doesn't snares stop dashes?

Just curious on why a dash has to complete even when you snare them during the animation. It would be a counter to all this mobility trend that Riot is going with.

Because people would get stuck in terrain.

Few things at work here.

  1. Snare does not mean "Champion cannot ever move", it means "Champion cannot control their movement" - basically, they cannot choose a "movement" action or ability. Certain jumps/leaps and such, once they are already underway, will generally continue if rooted and they'll be rooted when they stop moving.

  2. Some dashes can be stopped - usually 'charged' dashes such as Zac's Slingshot or Vi's Vault Breaker. These are different than Channels, which they don't interrupt.

  3. Other dashes are specifically able to be stopped by CC such as Yasuo's dash
