Agreed Silas. Plus, in the earlier stages when the damage can matter (say during a gank), you can use it to lead the target and have a chance of hurting them.

Also, it's not that common, but it also means that the enemy team can't use Blitzcrank or Vayne or something to blow/pull you way from your team and leave them vulnerable. They have to instead reposition at best, or blow your entire team out with Janna/Gragas.
