Add Bonus caps to Ultimates

[Rosgath]

I'm putting this suggestion under Items since Items are where most Stat bonuses can be found.

My suggestion is this: Add a hard cap to bonus Duration, Cooldown reduction, and Ability range to all Ultimate abilities.

The reasoning is simple; Ultimate abilities can often become incredibly oppressive in the current game and often it's not really feasible to try and bait out an ult to try and fight around it. Heroes can generally be expected to have their Ult up in every fight once they pick up even a modest amount of Cooldown Reduction, and those same Ults can become impossible to stop. Ults should feel like big plays instead of bog standard abilities.

I'm aware that there are diminishing returns on all of those stats, but realistically speaking those are just not enough.

I disagree. It's super fun getting a super high uptime on your ult build. I had 25% uptime on my last stand warden the other day.

Absolutely not. Just nerf the overpowered ults instead.

Not only do these stats have diminishing returns, but Ability range and Ability duration already have a cap of +100%, it's just that these can't be normally reached with the current items.

Which really begs the question what cap you were thinking of, because with current items you can barely reach +50% on these and that requires a weird combination of items.

Lowering the cap under 50% this would just be a really awkward design choice. If certain ultimates are too strong just nerf the ultimates.
