What the guy said above me hasnt been true for well over a year now. The tentacles have an AI targetting system. If there is an enemy within the radius from the center of where you chose to cast, the tentacles will  try to spawn underneath it. It may miss, but it does try.

If you dont believe me, gather a bunch of enemies into your undertow (or just spawn them in the simulacrum)  and then cast tentacle swarm while aiming at the grouped enemies. Even with maxed range, they will cluster under all of the enemies that you collected, with the remaining tentacles trying to be as close as possible to the targets that are further away.

Problem with the hydroid wiki is, so many players have spent so long hating on him, they havent actually tried to play with him more recently before giving out information.
