Well like one rioter said on the NA forums, compared to Ionic Spark it's better suited for kiters/chasers, since it charges so fast while moving. For that reason it's good on Ezreal for example (and Q can proc it). Since it scales with crit now, it's also kind of better on ADs. Overall they wanted to make it less "niche", and even though i was disappointed at first, right now i find it good enough.

I don't think it's reserved to AoE champs really, it seems more useful to make non-AoE champs deal AoE damage, especially paired with Hurricane, which makes it charge faster aswell. I tried that combo on twitch, and it makes his ulti a huge mess of AoE damage, unexpectedly good and confusing for enemies.

And who doesn't love items that build out of Gp10 :3 ?
