the range on the proc is just too crappy, if you hit a melee minion it won´t even bounce to the caster minions in the backrow when the wave is positioned "normally" if you know what i mean...

imo it is fun and i love the visual/sound effect, but yeah... i would not recommend this in a serious match really.

on AD carries, a Phantom Dancer is always the better choice to increase your overall dps, on a tank/tanky dps, Wit´s End gives you the MR you need to take the hate for less gold, and on onhit/AS type champions... well it "does work" there, but even then i don´t think this is a very good choice and you are usually better off with Malady or just saving gold for a superior item (Madred´s, GA, BV etc.).

the only half way decent way to use this i could think of is using the spark on shen. in mid/late game, you will constantly be pushing a side lane/backdooring because you can instantly ult to your allies when a fight starts, and this item increases shen´s very slow minion slaining by approximately over 9000, thus increasing his backdooring pressure enormously.
