A Champion with a "locked orbit" movement ability

The champion would cast the ability on a target, suspending the the user a set distance from the target. Either the user revolves around the target at a set speed, or moves freely in orbit. In effect, the target wouldn't be able to close the distance to the user for the duration while allowing the user to "hitch a ride" while still being able to cast abilites.

Caviats: would be kind of toxic if cast on melee characters **if **the rest of the kit allowed the champion to, say, kill the melee character. Therefore Ranged attacks would be too strong along with this ability. Skillshots might be fine. The ability would fit well, however, on an enabling support character, whom could use it to stay out of harms way while supporting.

What do you think, forumers?

Why would you do that? It would be like giving up control on the movement of your champion for a free ride along an enemy who can decide to go back to his team mates. Plus your pathway would be totally predictable.

Is there some kind of upside that I haven't identified?

You could the gravity ability as a slingshot kinda deal, click an object that it bends around to hit another object
