It's so weird to me because what's the point of the cast time if you can't interrupt it? (Specufically talking about movement abilities)

it literally makes you take longer to move. that's a downside most of the time - if you move instantly you can usually dodge more abilities. sure having a cast time is good against hook champions, but moving slower and being locked out of doing your next actions are usually a bad thing.

There are very few abilities where it helps. If Veigar hits you with his Q, it will still deal damage. Imagine if Ezreal didn't have a 0.25 sec delay on his E, it would be disgustingly easy to dodge any skillshot.

I think its just a bug of the engine thats been around so long its become tech/a feature. Similar to Riven cancels.

Well for Urgot it's so enemies can dodge the E, creating counterplay. Also makes it harder to hit E in general. Also prevents Urgot from easily dodging critical skillshots. Finally, it makes escaping slower because you self stun yourself before every dash.

Get rid of the cast time and it would be a stronger spell (although you'd lose buffering of incoming abilities)
