Ali's kit was designed to be a pusher and his E makes a lot of sense when you use him for that purpose.

Pushing isn't really a role or even a playstyle anymore with a lot more champs having wave clear now, the removal of a lot of +pushing things like Aegis affecting minions, Innervating Locket, Stark's Fervor, etc. and things like junglers being an every game thing now, cs actually mattering and lots of other little game changes but I like that uniqueness in Ali's kit, even if it isn't the reason people pick him anymore it's part of his identity.
