No, they definitely do not. They have <1ms ping in the LCS/LCK/LPL/LMS, they can, and do, pull it off perfectly. You might see it once in a while (most notably someone failed that combo in Worlds vs OG, can't remember who, xPeke survived and they won the game off of that), but that's about it lately. I watch pro games all the time, Ali is picked all the time, and I definitely do not remember seeing a pro miss that combo in like a year, apart from that particular instance. The combo is not hard to pull off. I definitely miss it sometimes, but I blame lag more than my inability to pull the combo off, 60ms+ are not forgiving when timing is everything. So, yeah, it definitely makes a lot of sense for Riot to finally do this.

I realize the item might be strong, but it's going to be OP for high ELO players who know how to use it, and it's going to be useless everywhere else. Kind of like DFG, high ELO players were abe to abuse it and destroy anyone, but low ELO players would often forget the active and the item would be useless, they'd literally be better off with a Deathcap or an Hourglass.
