In a much earlier build of the game charging abilities such as Critical Rush and Invasion would miss their targets. The charging skills have no magnetic tracking therefore any movement on the target's part would cause a desync. Sometimes the charge would hit but the target and attacker are several meters away so in the target's perception it's like getting randomly knocked down. The fix implemented for this is the 0.5 second root you are experiencing. In the hands of the reactive, this is ample warning of the incoming charge. Often as soon as I stop moving I roll dodge, which avoids the charge and cancels the root.

And when you have multiple players using gap closers on you, as in being hunted by the zerg, there's no way to move forward at all

Adding a 0.5 sec mini-stun to every single gap closer, because of some technical desync issue, is a bloody joke. If more than 1 enemy charges you, you're close to stunlocked. They really need to find a better solution.

All of these bandaid type of fixes is why PVP died. It's a shame because the game had soooo much potential.
