^while this is entirely true, IF you can manage to absorb an AP Carry's initiation with it, it can make a huge difference (it can mean the difference between the combo instagibbing a teammate or them surviving it, easily). You do run the risk of the placement being bad (since at that point you're probably not sure the fight will continue in that area, and they likely haven't committed to it), but it's often worth that risk.
