As a Darius main since ever and master elo I think Darius need a slight nerf

let's be honest here his Q got overbuffed pretty hard, I think they should have either buff the dmg to what it is now (40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160)

but NOT buffing the healing OR they should have made his Q dmg a bit higher something like (40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120) and then buff the heal to 15%

it's a shame now darius is always banned and his winrate went from 45% to 53%

Option 1. (40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160) q base dmg but reduce heal back to 10%.

Option 2. (40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120) Q base dmg but keep 15% healing.

Wow that Dormidon guy sounds very mad. He either had a bad day, or is enjoying abusing and pubstomping normals with Darius.

It'd be best to un-buff his q base damage right now hes to so overbearing cause all of his damage and healing around rank 4-5 q hes kind of ungankable without an ignite on your top laner. The healing will let him not be bullied out so hard but his damage will be reasonable with q damage being lowered.

Sustain > Damage. Darius has enough damage as a Juggernaut, give him a means of staying tanky through his damage.

All your options are pretty good. I'd say that we should wait for the patch to come out 1st and see if it will be problematic or not. If it does become problematic, then i would prefer Option 2, simply because increasing the damage on Darius' Q won't be a big thing but the heal will and it seems pretty good, meaning not op and it is a perfectly balanced proposition.

EDIT: One thing i forgot. We might be adding damage but one main thing is to pull off that "outer circle" hit. So because of this, i think Riot should add another thing. If Darius DOES hit them with the shaft, then it should deal 70% of its total damage, not 50% along with the option # 2. THEN, this would be perfectly fine for him.

You're so dumb really. Darius is forgotten for years champ? Go cry to the board. Darius became weak after rework? Complaining about that here. Darius got hotfixed? Ask Riots to nerf him. Really thebloody7 if you got some luck to reach master tier on lame NA server it doesn't mean champion became OP is smthing. Look at Skarner or Fiora - they really need some nerfs for sure. Leave Darius alone and let him to be in meta at least few months, ok? Get downvoted I hope Riots will never see your thread. http://clip2net.com/clip/m370052/42537-clip-14kb.png?nocache=1 Compare Darius's and Ahri's amount of game. 2000~ and still the same winrate as Darius. Balanced one? Better cry for Darius nerf.

you're not being rational here, I want Darius to be good for so long you have no idea, but now atm he is permabanned in my elo and he is sitting ah 53%wr from 45% I just think with a tiny bit small revert to his q buff will make him sit at 50% wr and be in a perfect spot forever and never be banned.

and btw for your information I got to master playing the OLD Darius.

You've got ur master. You've prooved ur good enough. Learn some new champs and move forward to challenjour or smthing. Go to play on smurfs. Just stop crying over boards about his spot. This is so lame. Also they did not buff his Q healing did you know that? I've checked this thing in custom game. Actually it deals more damage but heals only 10% per target. P.S I got D1 season 3-season5 with old Darius too. I'm telling it just in case. I did the stuff even before hotfix and asked to not buff him as well. But they did it and I actually like this. Goddamn my main finally became ban tier champion after all these years of surrering. Compare it with Irelia-Riven-Rumble and stop asking for nerfs.

I actually don't enjoy playing on smurfs at all, it's not competitive enough.

Explain this.

I'm sure this is some kind of mistake. Oh come on do you remember his old E 'bug"? They didn't even note it. Do you really believe their patchnotes? Really? As Darius player you should remember his E stealth nerfs on summer 2013. No patchnotes. Just go and check his heal in custom game.

Was never here to actually play Darius when he 1st came out. Started at late Season 4. If you are referring to a custom game in LIVE then yes it'll be 10%.

If referring to PBE it seems like they already have a post about it.

They won't release it on the live server after his winrate bump isn't that obvious? But they for sure might cut his some other stuff becase these kind of threads.

He's permabanned at my elo as well. And I'm freaking happy about this.

Now I really hope Darius will get nerfed to the ground just to see your new thread about how bad his spot is.
