Pyke's R when not hitting a champion feels clunky af,it should teleport you to the location

You would think that you can use your ult as an escape tool or something? Well ive seen so many people trying to use it as an escape that i feel bad for them now and honestly when i played i tried to use it as an escape as well even though ive watched and laughed over numerous people failing like that...idk i mean he is an assassin after all..most assassins have a way in and a way out..it just feels right to work like that..
