Why do people consider playing against ranged champions hard? That's exactly what this pull is supposed to do - removing the range advantage.

Maining this guy since release and most of ranged matchups are just easy. Range itself doesn't help, it needs to be either extremely long (like being able to permamently hold +700 distance) or combined with easy and fast to apply CC, in short none of champions played on popular basis on top lane. On a serious level, Gnar, Quinn or Lissandra won't work. Things like LB or Swain will be the real bane for Darius.

Talking about pumping some points onto skill cap, there is a simple way for that - reducing the inner damage of Decimate to even lower without changing outer damage, and pull needs to be changed to something that won't hit every time just because someone knows the range well enough.
