I think that reasoning is kinda stupid. Just about every champions ult will be up by a minute and a half. It takes like, what? 30% of that time just traveling back to lane? His cooldown is 100 seconds at level 1, and goes down to 80, it will be up soon anyway when you get back to lane.

Btw, Garens ult has like a THREE MINUTE cooldown. So... You know. Even if that was their reasoning for Darius. =.='
