Longer cooldown makes for better rewards. And the blind is merely an astehtic. For other purposes its designed to punish champions that have higher tenacity or have abilities to get out of stuns. This is to ensure that the target won't be able to get that last auto attack off. Any ability changes will have to go through the creator however, I did not design her.
