Pretty much this . With an exemption for LaprasSnorlax , because they ' re good no matter what IV . <| sep |> The high cd is because of how much a bigger chance it gives you for securing kills . Like Chromies 2 nd ulti , time loop . Nothing special on paper , but because of the synergy it has with other things chromie can do , it might secure 100 % kills with no risk at all . Ultimates cd is not decided by only its power . BTW Butcher has a much more useful and easier time without his ulti than , Varian . butcher has to spend his ulti Not really . He kicks ass almost the same way even without his ultimate . You usually just use it on an enemy which has saving abilities or good escapes to make sure you kill , not to make you useful . But Varian does almost nothing in teamfights with 2 H sword when the ulti is on cd . what would Falstad say about thatHe would say I have Huge range , AOEnot single target Massive burst , I don ' t put myself in danger by using my ultimate and all these things justify its cd
