You do realize that Uproot deals 1100 damage at level 2 (not Uproot II. Uproot I + Compost I), right? It has the range of fireball too, and has a very minor mana cost (roughly 30% cheaper than Spit).
Making it target demigods will ... yeah. That will not be a good thing. Making it a snare/stun on top of that will make just about everyone cry. Except Erebus, because he just mists and lulz. You do realize it would just be another spit right?
You do realize that Uproot does 1100 damage at level 2 for 425 mana while Spit III at level 7 does 1275 damage for 800 mana.
At it also has 5 more range.
Uproot cooldown is higer and way easier to interrupt, it is balanced. 
But come on... who wouldn't want to see the black tendrils of death effect eminating from a demigod?
