Now i see good arguments. Okay, let me start. 8 seconds CD might be not fair. But it must be low. My first idea was to let Darius cast ult only on hard CCed enemies but then i should give him a stun (what is not only hard to fit in his theme but would be really OP). So i thought of a skillshot thingy, because dodging mega Dunk is so dramatic and involves counterplay. I do belive you've spent much time on Darius. You make a good point about E. And as you stated:

The ~500 radius around you is the death spot of this match ''If someone dares to enter, chances to survive for this one are low. ''

Well, i think i saved this attribute. But even nerfed it because everyone can dodge the biggest threat of duel with Darius.

Decimate is only good for lane phase. It has less damage than W after obtaining ~ 200 ad.
