For malphite and Hecarim their ults don't need unstoppable to be reliable.

Malphite's speed in ult is plenty to reach its target. Having unstoppable just allows him to indiscriminately rush trough CC like 's ultimate. Which really makes Malphite less interesting to play as his ult becomes less skill based and more Point and click to win fights. You'd have to think about where everyone is and what they can do, For instance engaging with ult on an ADC might not be the best idea when there's an Alistar inbtween. His Q could then stop your ult mid-flight, so better save it for later.

Where as Hecarim should just get that fear mid flight and a bigger fear at the end. You'd need to specifically target him with something like Gragas his ultimate in order to counter it. Right now it's just a question of when to engage to have the biggest impact... Rather then a brainless "Where can I cc the most people" it would be a question of "How can I position myself to have the biggest impact with my ultimate"...

Now unstoppable doesn't change how these ults function, just how much thought, planning and timing goes into using them. And they become a thing you can actually target with your team when they are not unstoppable.

And the fact that Vi can Reliably engage from FoW with it does Stem from her being unstoppable, since she can fly that distance due to being uninterrupted. If you can actually silence, root or stun her the moment she casts her ult, it becomes a different story altogether.

If she'd have WW's ulti her CC would be suppress which can be interrupted and cleansed.
