Hades was never "pushed" to remove his limiter. Go read the manga again. I have the volume and I read that bit just now to be sure and indeed, he only did it as a show really. He could have killed them without using it but decided to use it and show them true despair or whatnot so that statement is invalid.

And Laxus wasn't even using his Dragon Slayer abilities and he gave his power to Natsu because he wanted an FT mage to finish it. And also note that Laxus was hit by that attack without having any magic but still got up in a short time afterwards to land a punch on Hades.
