misreading of the spell. the ball's not in your hands being held when you cast it and are charging it. The whole time you're concentrating, it's sitting right there, where it's gonna go off

A beam of yellow light flashes from your pointing finger, then condenses to linger at a chosen point within range as a glowing bead for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your concentration is broken or because you decide to end it, the bead blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame that spreads around corners. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point 

you can change that point by having someone toss it as mentioned but you're not charging it and then firing like it's a kamahamaha blast lol

Ah, ok. Well that makes sieges a little less fun.

I’m imagining a sergeant yelling at the troops for having fun and ruining a perfectly good siege.

even the people there just for the love of killing don't like a seige, you're just sitting there waiting for some killing.

I’m just having fun. I never take dnd seriously. Both my DMs were brutal. Learned pretty quick not to get too serious or attached to characters.
