I don't see why it would be better to use it with teleport than having your ally triggering it.
You are aware that you don't always want your homing to explode when it's in range? It can a) hit the enemy eventually or b) you can wait for a better time (e.g. when it circles around him then pushes him to lava).
Also, noobs. That don't know what they're doing.
But you're missing the point. The fact that it can accidentally get triggered is the main problem. The enemy doesn't see it or expect it, it's just a random clusterfuck and confuses people. And since its owner doesn't intend for it to do it, then it's illogical, has no strategy, aim, or any of the good stuff that's supposed to identify Warlock. Especially in big games.
I've played now what, 3-5 games? It's happened a fuckload of times that homing aoe gets triggered by an ally. And I can tell you the times it was intentionally done was way, way less than accidental, almost zero, and everyone's just left confused otherwise. I'm not the only one on this, we talked about it in game and people agree.
