Rintrah and Ant Man (Future) Not Working as Written

Hello,
I have recently noticed an issue with both Rintrah and Ant Man (Future) where a part of their kit isn't working as written. These are separate issues, but I figured I would include both in one larger post. For reference, both of these issues happen regardless of where I use these champs and I believe anyone trying to test these issues will experience the same results.
Rintrah: (mine is 6* r4 sig 60)
As an enthusiastic Moo Crew member, I have been using a lot of Rintrah and gradually noticed a small issue with the unstoppable passive he gains when he roots himself. He can root himself when he corners his opponent and uses a light combo ender (manual root) or he has 20 mystic charges and the opponent launches a special (special root). Individually, these work as intended. However, issues arise when they overlap: If you activate your manual root and then the opponent triggers Rintrah's special root, the unstoppable that was gained from the manual root is prematurely removed when the special root ends. I assume the code for his root has a line about removing the unstoppable when it expires, and this is causing an unintended issue with premature unstoppable removal. There are no lines in his ability screen that point to this behavior being intentional.
Additionally, Rintrah's special root ends right before the last hit of his opponent's special attack. This means he gets flinched against the last hit of an opponents special even when he should have special root and unstoppable active. It feels pretty bad when you can't immediately rush into the opponent if you get hit or block the final hit of their special. This contradicts his written abilities, which state "While Rintrah has 20 Mystical Charges, go Rooted when an Opponent activates a Special. End Root after Opponent Special ends, this Root has no cooldown."
Both of these issues are present in any gamemode, but I found that testing this was easiest against my own hulkling.
I hope these issues can be fixed as Rintrah's playstyle fantasy gets undermined when he doesn't work as the unstoppable wall he's designed as.
Ant Man (Future): (6* r1 sig 0)
Firstly, love this champ. However, I noticed an issue where his sp2 sometimes didn't do any of the on-hit direct damage. After some more testing, I came to realize the cause of it: the big red numbers only triggered when his power detonation passive (the red one) was active. If the encroaching power detonation passive (the grey one) was active, there would be no damaging effects. Regardless of whether or not there were sp1 disintegration debuffs on the opponent, an sp2 thrown while the grey passive is on the opponent resulted in an absence of big red numbers. I scoured his abilities for a reason why this is, but I haven't seen any. Hopefully this can get addressed, where either his red numbers always work or a line of text is added explaining that they only trigger if the opponent has a red passive. I figure it's best to address this with his tune up assessment this month.
