User blog comment:TheJohns/Finally, a reasonable Darius nerf/@comment-193.52.218.80-20130304215712

Hey, guys. You know, Darius' Ulti was quite th thing to clean a teamfight and execute ennemy champions his team hadn't killed yet. That's why 80% of the players whou bought him did so, to"Press R for Pentakill". But now that he has 12 seconds to cast it another time, what does it change ? Does a teamfight last 20 seconds ? No, only 5~10 seconds, and during 8 seconds you could have all the time to cast your Guillotine even 10 times. The ONLY change it will make in your play is that you won't have your Ulti EVERYTIME you killed your lane opponent. Because, well, if you kill him the first time with your Ulti, you can buy stuff and kill him again easily by using your Ulti again. So Darius can't snowball so easily now, but his Team-fights presence isn't diminished at all. He'll always have his freaking early game power and his Mad Dunker spirit.

Note : The CD refresh, even before the nerf, was a reason to kill-steal : having his Ulti up all the time is sweet. ;)
