Any balance reason as to why Darius fears away minions with ult?

Not at all, it's literally just because it makes him cooler.

Nope.

They put it in because it's cool.

Because it's ****ing awesome.

well wouldnt a big crazy looking man spinning an axe and chopping peoples heads off be scary? well the minions think so

[zombie-brand-mindblown]

I find my self Qing all the minions with te edge of my empowered q after dunking someone

i had an enemy Darius cost his team the game because when he ultied the minions attacking our nexus STOPPED and ran away long enough for our inhib to spawn.. we then managed to ace their team and win all because those minions decided to run away.. TY darius fear

it saves you from minion aggro when you all in the enemy. its not a big thing but a bit usefull tho.

When I see Darius ulted my team one by one I'm scared too. And I'm bigger than minion!

It's actually pretty strong on him, because it means the minions stop attacking him and he won't end up dying to minions.

The minions have a healthy fear of the dunk.
