Just a reminder Darius has nudged his way back into the meta.

He doesnt need nerfs regadless. He cant get resets with all the stupidly broken shields. Not to mention he melts in seconds unless he gets to flash hit 3 people with Q. You dont know how fun it is to flash dunk someone only to get a 400hp shield from a karma and negate your reset . then die because the adc melts you in 4 hits

He does. His win rate is too high. Nothing can duel him in lane.

dominusxDec 31, 20166 votes

51% win rate on a champ that is meant to kill tanks in the tank meta. hmm.

Ariel the CruelDec 31, 20166 votes

Darius was never actually meant to "kill tanks", he was meant to "kill everyone." That's why his counter-play is to never get close. which makes him weak when ranged tops are popular. It also makes him strong in a siege comp, where he just sits on his ass and looks scary all game. XD

GayFluffyUnicornDec 31, 20169 votes

Nothing can duel him? Bitch please. Poppy, Maokai, Jayce, Kennen, Illaoi, Fiora, Riven, even yasuo. Lots of champs can duel him if you know how and also know his powerspikes.

Ferus and FerrumJan 1, 20173 votes

Poppy? what?????? Darius beats the shit outta poppy unless he's dumb enough to sit next to walls all laning phase. It's a farm lane for her at best.

RalanrJan 1, 20171 votes

Can attest to this. I really hate fighting Darius on tanks in general because the longer the fight goes, the better it's in his favor.

5 Stacks GGDec 31, 20164 votes

his winrate is high only because of stupid colossus, you can cry all u want darius will not get nerfed.

he was perfectly fine before they added it

Best princess EUDec 31, 20169 votes

he is still perfectly fine, i don't see how colossus breaks darius

5 Stacks GGDec 31, 20162 votes

It doesn't break him, what I meant is colossus is the reason why his winrate jumped from 50% to 52%.

Darius use it very well and it made Tanks more popular that's 2 bird one stone right there.

Seems you're mad due to your main's rising win rate, which means a coming well-needed nerf.

Why would he get nerfed? Because some people just don't know what to play against him or because his annoying lol, darius win rate jumped by 2% while xeraths jumped for 5% in last 2 months hey lets nerf xerath everyone! As for darius people just need to learn how to play against him because he ain't going nowhere,as for possible nerf I ask rioter myself on ask.com when they nerfed his Q widht, that darius 10% heal on Q was originally fine and that the current 12% botheres a lot of people so maybe revert it back to 10%? He's response was: "I think we will let darius like this for a while to see how he performs, we think we actually maybe even over nerfed him"

thebloody7Jan 1, 20171 votes

his winrate only raised cuz of colossus, riot wont nerf a champ cuz of a stupid mastery, you will have to learn how to play vs him sooner or later

Qiyeanu ReevesDec 31, 20162 votes

I don't even like taking colossus on Darius. Grasp still feels better because you can proc it more than once before your E CD comes back up, and your E is the only thing that procs colossus.

Maximum MordeJan 1, 20171 votes

Grasp is trash. If you are going into the Resolve tree, you should be getting CoC, if you want healing you go Ferocity and get Warlords. If you want something else you go Cunning and get Thunderlords or Stormraider, which is actually kinda lolz on Darius.

RalanrJan 1, 20171 votes

His winrate is high because of other colossus users. Champions that Darius kinda rekts.

Wait you mean the one where Balls, the player everyone was criticizing for being stuck in KR Diamond 2, got the first Penta of worlds?

To be fair, Darius made worlds fun AF to watch.

NightmareAmazoXDec 31, 20161 votes

Exactly

CaptnJakSparrowDec 31, 20163 votes

He's been meta for a while now.

He goes stormraiders + flash + ghost and basically just runs at you. He's a better Mundo at this point.

JasiwelDec 31, 20163 votes

I'd rather fight Darius than Riven. At least I can kite Darius, or force him to flash on me.

What does LCS have to do with it? Stop comparing LCS with everyday league, seriously. It is two completely different games.

Then stop using the word meta.

That's not a correct analogy.

WrÆthDec 31, 20162 votes

He always was, people just never used him when more potent toplaners came into play like shen and gnar and gp and jayce

NipsahoyDec 31, 20162 votes

Only issue I have with Darius is that he only needs to build 1 damage item to be not just a legitimate threat but way too much of a threat. I'm fine if a champ builds dmg and does good dmg, but Darius just does way too much dmg for only needing to buy 1 dmg item. He deletes squishies too easily without needing to itemize for more dmg while being incredibly hard to kill with his heal and being able to build 3-4 tank items.

Zen InethDec 31, 20165 votes

How about Irelia , who does it from 700 range to 0 range?

StephenizgodDec 31, 20162 votes

When champions like Darius take CotC, they become monsters... Alternatively he can also take Stormraiders, Ghost + Flash and be damn near impossible to escape. I actually have more issue against speed of sound Darius than CoC Darius, mostly because I can at least just run away from him.

AwhegarkDec 31, 20163 votes

Darius is not yasuo. If he has speed of sound then he is lacking damage to kill you fast enough. Which means that your problem is that your playing a champion that can't kill Darius in neither duel nor kite.

TLDR: If he is too fast stop and just kill him since he should not have enough damage to out duel you.

StephenizgodDec 31, 20162 votes

Uh? No? Stormraiders + Ghost, he isn't paying damage for that, he is still Darius and has tons of damage once he gets on you. The Stormraiders + Ghost is just for sticking to a target.

IncarcerationDec 31, 20161 votes

Speed of sound is hecarim....

StephenizgodDec 31, 20161 votes

Or Rammus lol always fun to see Rammus moving at 800 MS

also Nasus, but thats only because you are slowed by 99% and he is ghosting at you lol

Truly PridefulDec 31, 20162 votes

Does this mean I should save my Yasuo complaints for another week and prepare some for Darius?

In all seriousness, I don't mind Darius. At least when he kills me I can generally see what I should have done to avoid that.

Jerry SeinfeIdDec 31, 20162 votes

who cares about the meta anymore. Singed

AnagsDec 31, 20162 votes

It's not a surprise that Darius is doing better ever since a certain mage item got nerfed and he can't be kited as easily as a result.

He was always good in lane but was easily kited in team fights. It's not that easy now. It makes sense.

General Esdeath Dec 31, 20162 votes

To be fair, he's always been a good top laner. I think he's always been meta (Aside from when the meta was ranged top laners like Graves Quinn Kennen ) but not FOTM
