In my honest opinion, Darius needs a nerf

I mean honestly, It is never fun playing against this guy. Even as his greatest counter, it doesn't matter. He's got insanely high damage, gains so much HP per level, deals bleed damage on you per stack that scales with his damage. But that doesn't matter because you just build tank on him and he will still do the same amount of damage to someone even if he has only a black cleaver compared to a full AD Build, which nukes people in seconds.

This champion in my opinion is just cancerous. The moment I see someone pick him in Draft mode, I just know we are going to lose. It's a given fact. Just pick Darius if you want to win while eating a sandwich and not caring.

Oh? You lost some health? Just gonna use my Q and heal up real fast. Oh, you think you're getting away from this? Nah, get back here with my E W combo so your back in my face and slow, oh and everything just applied a stack of my passive granting me a massive damage increase. Oh and now I just dealt 2,000 True damage to you with my ultimate. Later nerd. Oh Im level 16? So it automatically reset on the kill? Ha, time to go show these kids that they suck.

I mean honestly, I understand the whole Juggernaut role. Be tanky but still bring plenty of damage. But that is WAY WAY WAYYYYYYYYYYY too much damage.

I've seen a Darius with just a Warmog and a Black Cleaver get a Penta Kill when everyone has a full build. Tank or not. He just melted them. Like Zero fucks were given.

Yet no one seems to think he needs to be nerfed. Because everyone knows to win, you pick Darius. And even if you ask him to go easy, it's a Normals game where we are trying to learn a new champ, or just have fun. He laughs at you, taunts you in chat, and calls you a noob feeder or worthless. I just, don't get why can have so much damage and be a full on tank. There's no balance there. None. At. All. Can't kill him, but he can kill you in 2 seconds. Wonderful.

FINALLY! someone who thinks like me here, I mean it's possible to balance Darius, all you have to do is remove the instant cooldown from his ult and make it actually cost mana instead of 0.

Ah I love boards "This champion does stuff that lets him fight he must be OP"

Your entire post is basically going "he's hard to fight or kill without getting killed"

That's literally the identity of a juggernaut. They're big, hit hard, punish you for getting close, but have low mobility.

Darius had quotes that literally explain what to do "Don't turn your back, or expose your neck" "Make no mistakes"

The way Darius works, anything he was able to do is because you let him.

if he was a free win he wouldn't have a 49.5% win rate.

Because everyone knows to win, you pick Darius. And even if you ask him to go easy, it's a Normals game where we are trying to learn a new champ, or just have fun. Wonderful.

Except he's not even a 50% win rate. If he was auto pick to win, he'd probably be at least above 50%. You sound frustrated and that's understandable.

His Q doesn't automatically heal him. There is a small width where if he hits you, it'll heal him.

It sounds like you were having trouble playing against his weaknesses which is being kited and dodging the blade on his Q (move in to him). He can E you to him and it has some range, but he'll need to be towards your minions (and likely pull the minions too) which should help you trade against him. It makes going for the melee minions more dangerous.

I ironically had a dream last night I was playing Darius and crushing even though I've never played him.

So I agree. He needs nerfs.
