i disagree that the unstoppable mechanic is the problem

for malphite and hecarim, the duration is very short and its purpose is to add consistency to their ultimates. they are so short that an interrupt on these skills is pretty much always as accident not a intentional reaction. ive actually never seen malphites ult get intterupted before they patched that in. i think they should add more unstoppables to ultimates like shyvanas; shyvanas ult gets intterupted all the time, and its pretty much always by accident.

as for olaf and poppy, i do agree with these, but riot does too so whatever.

as for vi, i dont think its the unstoppable mechanic that is the problem, the problem is that you have a targetted cc with 2 gap closers which equals very high engage power on a single target. the lack of counterplay comes from the fact that she can engage well from the fog of war, not that she becomes unstoppable.

if vi had ww's ultimate instead, she wouldnt have the unstoppable mechanic but she would have even  less counterplay because you woudlnt have a chance to use your escape skills in the time vi would be unstoppable, instead you would just get cc'ed on the spot and die.
