User blog:Lord of Harvest/My suggestion to Darius's ult.

That ult is just annoying. And this bugs me mostly in the laning phase. If you go on an all out 1v1 and he kills you, next time you fight, the average top laner no longer has his ultimate up, but Darius still gets to keep it most likely. So coming out on top is even harder after that point. That is why I suggest this change to it, which is still faithful to what the ultimate mechanic tries to accomplish.

I suggest that after Darius scores a skill, he gets a buff that let's him ultimate again in a 10 second window. This buff refreshes if he kills something again with his ultimate. After those 10 seconds, the ultimate goes on cooldown. So he can still dunk multiple times in a fight, but it makes his toplaning less secure. It also helps the situations where Darius flat out killsteals with his ult, because there is really no penalty for doing so. With this change, his ultimate requires more thought, but you can still clean up a fight as you can now.
