Thoughts on Xing Tian ult, and a small change/buff

So with the whole casting time of Xing's ult being about a century most people think it's beyond garbage. However in my opinion a lot of people probably are thinking of the skill as an initiation, and in my experience this ends up working at best like a sobek pluck on 1 or 2 people. At worst I end up spinning in circles getting hit by some autos/abilities.

The way I think it should be used now though is similar to Medusa's ult. Medusa's ult is useless as initiation because everyone will just look away. However it is very useful as counter initiation or something mid/end battle to catch everyone off guard.

I think Xing's ult should be used in a similar way. Everyone came to your team and probably have used their movement abilities. At this time it is easier to grab the enemy team and bring them to yours where hopefully someone had saved some powerful abilities/ults. In my experience in Assault this has worked out pretty well, especially when we were close to an ally tower that was able to pelt enemies I threw into the tower.

My idea for a buff would be to make the entire ability a knock up/throw. Currently when you get caught by the ult and spun around that isn't being knocked up, but having a weird stun/displacement thing. What I would like it to be is that when you initially get hit by the ability you get knocked up and then the ability works more like tyr's power cleave/fearless where knocked up targets get manipulated. This would make it so if you actually got hit by the ult then you wouldn't be able to beads out of it... However if you have beads available then you would probably have used them to not be hit by the ult in the first place, and it's still really easy to get out of the ultimate if you have any movement ability.
