How do supports (or other positions) feel about Kalista's Ultimate?

Basically I just want to know how people are feeling about being Kalista's Oathsworn. After playing a game as her support (blind pick no dual que) I'm starting to think she's my new least favorite adc to play with. It's not that her ult is bad, it's just so jarring. Even when I know it's coming it takes me a second or two to get my bearings and get back in the game, and by then I feel like the competitive advantage we had in the team fights is lost. I know part of this is just me needing to get used to it, but it feels like the only effective way to use it is to be sitting right next to the person playing Kalista so that you can literally hear them say they're about to pull you. How do you guys feel about this?

I dislike it. Considereing how much clicking is done in the game, it usually forces me to misclick.

What I don't like about it is I'm always thinking, come on come on come on ult now and it's like she ults way later than she should and I'm like 'well now I have nowhere good to go'

Kalista using her ult on you feels really sudden and unexpected if Kalista doesn't give you any warning that she plans to throw you. I wish that there could be two QoL changes to the ability:

  1. Kalista makes an audio call so that you can better tell that you have just been picked up.
  2. Rather than teleporting on top of Kalista (which is what it feels like), have the support get dragged to Kalista similar to how someone can be pulled by blitzcrank or ride with Thresh's lantern.

super annoying. especially when you didn't want to be bound to her in the first place. extremely jarring, unexpected, interrupts plays, interrupts flow, negates all clarity, can get you killed. with as much clicking as there is in this game, i usually end up casting myself in a random direction on accident and get killed. take this SHIT away. way too griefable. i'm avoiding playing because i don't want to get stuck with a kalista.
