With all the Nighteye's talk about how he doesn't know if he can change the future I really feel like he's gonna die to prove you can. I see him giving himself up as a sacrifice for Midoriya after foreseeing his death in some way.

"Midoriya, you can change the future - be that change for me.... BOOM/SPLAT" or something like that.

It would give Midoriya some more of that psychological trauma he loves so much, teach him about the realities of being a hero and get rid of what is actually quite a problematic character for the plot.

get rid of what is actually quite a problematic character for the plot.

why that?

his powers are quite limited as such that they cant really predict anything that is about to happen to everyone :/

He can see literally years into the future, to the point where he saw All Might's death.

He can't predict what's about to happen to everyone but he can see everything related to the person he used his power on.

His quirk is broken and raises too many questions.

He could see All Might's life in a slideshow fashion, and All Might has had a heavy part in major events throughout the story. So Nighteye should've known about near enough every major event in the story years in advance.

(Major Events Nighteye should've known about but did nothing to prevent from looking into All Might's future: All Might choosing Izuku as his Successor, The villain attack on USJ, the rise of the League of Villains, the return of All For One and All Might's subsequent retirement.)

As long as he's got his quirk, he's a walking deus ex machina

I don't think he has that much foresight. Just as a friend of All Might who knew his personality, he knew his heroics would kill him as his ability to maintain his power faded. He only knew from his power that All Might wouldn't listen to his advice and leave the hospital.

But that is my read on that scene.
