Summoner' Spells not Champion Spells. (why i think CC shouldn't affect the former)

So as the title suggests, i don't think that summoner spells should be affected by CC on the champion. Lore-wise it doesn't make sense. If you read any lore about champions, those that enter the League willingly do so in order to test their strengths, fight for a purpose, etc, etc. So it would not make sense, logically, that summoners have any mental control over those champions. To take that point one step further, there is no reason that the summoner should feel the effects of CC, if in fact the champions have full control of how they fight. Therefore, summoners should be able to cast THEIR spells regardless of the state of the champion.

I don't think that this change would have an overwhelming effect on gameplay. There would be some very noticeable changes in plays, but nothing game-breaking, i believe. For example, say you are stunned in the jungle next to a flash-able wall. The champion wouldn't lose their CC disabilities because of the flash, but they could be saved by the distance jumping the wall gave them. Alternatively, if you are stunned mid lane by your opponent, you could still apply Ignite (if in range of course). Heal, Barrier, Clarity, Mark, Teleport, Clairvoyance, smite could all be used while under the effects of CC.

I'd be interested what everyone has to say.

P.S. if there is some lore that i haven't read which explains why spells are affected the way they currently are, i would like to read this.

Yeah there would be no point in having a stun if someone can just flash out or if they're playing aggressive ignite you.

The duration of the stun would still endure, so they maybe get a fraction of a second while you close distance. and, if they do use Ignite while under CC it's still a calculated choice to use the spell. just like using a spell any other time. you may choose not to use it.

Where can i find what is considered canon now? the website doesn't have any of that stuff anymore.

you can use every summoner spell, except mobility spells, (you can use: ignite, exhaust, cleanse, heal; you can't use: flash, tp) while being stunned

Are you sure? i've been stunned spamming my heal key and nothing happening up until i die.

I believe that in the past, CC interrupted the summoner's link to the champion.
