Is it just me, or are high, lobbed passes from the corner a pretty weak assist tactic the higher in rank you get?

Honest question. Context: I know I suck at following up assists, but it feels like this pass is far too predictable and easy to block by competent goalies. It hangs in the air for so long, giving opponents plenty of time to react. Yet at my current rank (2v2 Challenger Elite), I see people making this pass over and over.
