I actually really like the ult because it makes more some really clear and obvious cooperative synergy, but is problematic because it's basically the first of its kind, which in a game this old creates problems, just like when they sent mordekaiser bot. But there are ways of balancing it. area size, cast time, champ limit etc. But riot is notoriously bad at this kind of evaluation, and will probably think along the lines of "it's about on par with TF's ult due to the lower distance" despite an ability hardly needing to be global - it just needs to come out of fog of war to be a problem. Which 1500/3000 range definitely manages. Not to mention - let's actually compare it with TF. 2 second stun, a poke, and that's about it outside of the ult. Ryze nukes like a madman, can root for just as long, and has significantly better follow-through. Not even including the ability to take allies, it's a problem comparatively.
