You can't simply use the ult on somoene walking around. Doesn't work (unless they are oblivious).

You use it to "join" in a skirmish. Like gangplank's, you drop it on someone elses battle, like when jugler's meet. Or possibly even lane to lane. Even if the enemy dodges your shots, you give your jungler some extra pressure/time. Or if someone is running / chasing, you simply drop it in front of them, and they have to eat it, or get caught / escape.

And for stealing objective, if you have wards down.

Late game, you can push a minion wave from another lane.
