I wanted his W to be his weakest spell since a gapcloser on a guy that you absolutely dont want to have on top of you. Ive considered having allied escape ability(No ward hopping.) Would that be too strong?

I dont think he could jungle since you only spend darkness on your ultimate. Which you dont get until level 6. Ive considered having it as one of those neato level 1 ultimates but I dont know if that's worth it.

Yeah I think the CDR thing was jumping the gun.
