Yeah, it's so useful to be told where it spawns - oh, wait, no it isn't. Its completely worthless, because what matters is who it targets, which is not announced and cannot be determined without watching it for at least a second, and in practice closer to 2 seconds. It also moves fast enough that a single blink won't give you full RoP duration without having to run away again.
And this assumes it targets you. It could target someone else, who runs it into you. It could be targeted on someone else, you drop RoP, and it switches to you from close enough that you need to move immediately.
The problem is mages who think they're good, when they don't even understand the mechanics most people complain about.
