If you don't like it you should consider playing in another timeframe (no offense) because yes, it was very commonly used. Especially in the western half of the map. One of the advantage was to make the schields of the opponent unusable.
But you know, most of them just throw a couple of javelins and then charge, you don't have to systematically alt-click :-) Only if you don't want them to theriow anything.
