Reverse Nightcrawler's Signature Ability

To dupe a champ we either get an awakening gem, pull him from crystal, or earn him in arena. We spend time, energy, and often funds to achieve it because duped champ is almost always better than the non-duped version - with one exception, Nightcrawler. It is a well-known fact that NC is the only champ whose signature ability makes him WORSE after dupe. Shouldn't a champ's signature ability make him BETTER?
Here's our plea for the signature ability of NC: instead of allowing him to switch combat mode faster, the duping should make him switch combat mode SLOWER. This will justify most players' purpose, effort, and resource to get NC duped - just like every other champ who becomes better after dupe. We thank you for making this correction and do NC justice.

Champions have more than one use, you know...
Let me give you a few numbers
SL 180
Wolverine 1000
NC 320
Those are the number of hits it takes them all to kill WS in RoL and YES NC is Duped
If that is for maxed 4*, Wolverine's number is very off. I just tested with my 4* 4/40 Wolverine. Deep wounds is only 1, Assassination is only 1, and I never went below 50% health so there's no courage to take into consideration. No synergy team
5/50 wolvie takes me 400 hits.
No deep wounds, no assasination, no courage
Straight up at 4/40
(Granted I AM comparing him to a 5/50 NC and SL but that's for kinda a reference towards NC's might to have such a high damage output compared to SL)
Even so @Rotmgmoddy NC would be placed around 2x damage compared to Wolverine and I'm guessing that at 5/50 would be closer but I'm trying to unlock Assassin atm so the numbers are kinda skewed
Utilising synergies.
Yup, I will admit I probably got lucky with some of the amount of bleeds I could stack, but even with bad luck it still wouldn't be anywhere near 1000 hits.
I have to say that the OP is categorically wrong.
OK let me clarify for those who aren't so sure: NC's signature ability, Neyaphem Heritage, will switch combat mode 0.3 seconds faster; additionally, when he strikes a Deep Wound, he gains X% increased attack for 7 seconds. On offense, increased attack makes him a better attacker. Faster mode switching doesn't really affect me that much cuz I switch at will all the time, with or without dupe. On defense, it was what I talked about at the top paragraph.
For those who said NC is used more on offense, I'd suggest you spend your life on more meaningful topics instead of trolling others. Why? I dare you to do a count on your next 10 AWs: count in both teams that how many NC is used on defense and how many NC used in offense and tally them up. You'll see yourself where NC is more used.
I never said NC is a weak attacker. After dupe of course his attack is sharper. However there are quite a few better attackers than NC, hence more people using him on defense rather than offense.
The point I want to argue is: a dupe costs resources to achieve, and should make a champ better all-around instead of "just on offense" or "just on defense". I'd rather see the switch time reversed, so the dupe not only makes NC a better attacker, but also better all-around.
Its worth remembering not everyone has all the champs. I really like using Nightcrawler, hence my avatar, and I'm almost always coralled into using him in AW - I've now duped him to the extent where he's NOT as useful in AW as he is in AQ, where I use him regularly. I appreciate that not all players will have, or want to have, a high sig Nightcrawler, but he works well for me and I have no regrets about bringing him to Rank 5 or putting sig stones in him. He's perfect for my playstyle and I dominate with him.
So, I agree that duping him makes him less useful in AW, but I'm really glad that his sig works the way it does, because he's helped me clear A LOT of content. Food for thought, perhaps. Just because everyone has one perspective on something, doesnt make it true for everyone.
NC is designed as an offensive champ, so of course duping him will improve his offensive abilities.
+ nobody uses him in AW offense because of MD.
+ And when you start coming to tier 1-2 in AW, you barely see him
