Refresh flash CD if killed during Darius ult

I am sure this happens to many. You want to dodge Darius ult, but you flash just a little too late.

So despite not being in range of Darius ult anymore, you still die from it. Flash gets on cooldown. You wasted it.

There are many possible solutions: if you flash it, could means you dodged it (would be a nerf to Darius). if you flash but die, refresh flash CDR (as you refresh Cait ult cooldown if someone dodge it). Since you're already dead, don't make flash proc (I understand flashing Cait ult is just being dumb, but flashing Darius ult is another story).

I don't know what you could do, but as it is, it feels frustrating to waste flash. It also feels weird to be miles away and still being hit by Darius axe.

I believe you can dodge 'melee' stuff if they lose vision of you (e.g. flashing into an unwarded bush), although the rules are a little murky in this area.

Lots of frustrating deaths where you flash and then one last stray auto hits or ability or whatever, not just darius ults (or even ults at all) resulting in a wasted flash, but I feel like appropriate summoner use is an avenue of skill expression. People should know when to just accept their fate and save their summoners, and when using them is actually worthwhile, so giving them a free pass in thier panic flashes would partially invalidate that.

(Also, cait's ult does go on full cooldown if someone actually dodges it by becoming untargetable while the bullet is actually in the air, it's only reset if she doesn't actually finish channeling in the first place.)

Ummm I dont think you can "dodge" Darius ult since it is a point and click. It's like trying to flash out of the range of an Annie Q, you are still going to get nailed by it

Annie Q is a homing missile, just like a melee auto attack is a homing missile. We know what it is but just think that it's poor design.

Yes and no.

I remember ulting away as TF right before Darius was about to ult me and getting out safely.
