Stop buffing darius

Ranmaru··6 votes·643 views

Imo Darius right now is already a strong bruiser I don't know why riot keeps buffing him instead of actually trying to help other bruisers if anything this hurts other bruisers more because then why pick a champ like kled when the only thing you can do is deal some damage and die when you could pick Darius last the team-fight and grab sweet kills and towers

No he isn't.

Because he isn't strong and hasn't been strong for quite some time.

The double life, the team utility you bring in the form of your ultimate, as well as more constant hard CC. Damage isn't everything.

Let me guess, you are a bronze player who gets pubstomped by Darius thus thinks he is OP.

Just because YOU don't have fun fighting him doesn't mean that he wasn't in a poor place.

He is strong, Hes the strongest bruiser up top he has strong teamfighting he can deal with tanks he can deal around 800 true damage to you end game what does he need? More pen? That already goes up to 50% then throw in black cleaver

No, no he was not. Illaoi, Camille, Urgot ( up in the air whether he is a brusier though, you can certainly play him like one), Jarvan are ALL far stronger then him.

he has strong teamfighting

NO, he most CERTAINLY doesn't, his teamfight is piss poor if he isn't ahead. He gets kited for ages and if you miss your pull, you are basically useless as they walk away from you shooting you down.

he can deal with tanks he can deal around 800 true damage to you end game

So can Irelia, what is your point?

what does he need?

The ability to actually close the gap properly so he doesn't get popped while walking in. You know the reason his ultimate does so much damage? Because if you build pure damage Darius, you are gonna get popped like a zit, especially if you aren't ahead meaning you are basically forced to get defenses after one maybe two damage items thus gimping you damage unless your ulti is up.

Yeah, and?

He deals true damage to you URGOT IS WEAK illaoi dodge her e and cammile ask for ganks

He deals true damage to you

I ask again, what is your point? Garen has true damage, Yi has true damage, Irelia has true damage. What point are you trying to make by saying he has true damage?

URGOT IS WEAK

Urgot is weak yet has a higher win rate then Darius...makes sense.

illaoi dodge her e

Dodge his E, and his Q, why does dodge her skills apply, yet the same can't be said for Darius?

cammile ask for ganks

I ask again, this logic can't be applied to Darius why?

If you ask for ganks against daruis your behind due to his lane bullying and then you gank there just going to die happened wen I played daruis Daruis always deals armor damage and gets 84% Armor pen with standard build Daruis e is a large skill shot i dodge his q

And this can't be said about any lane bully?

Because you are playing against people who don't know how to play the game.

Congrats, you did well into a favorable match up against a champion that can't lane against bronze players who don't know how to play the game. Now do against people who know how to play the game.

Darius Q is one of the easiest spells to dodge. On top of that his E isnt on 4 second cooldown to argue he can pull you and hit it always.

Darius is considered freelo in Bronze-Silver. In the upper elo about Plat & above, he just doesn't really do well compared to most top laners.

why pick a champ like kled

You were 1/14 as Kled yourself, which is such an impossible score to achieve considering on how strong & painful his W DPS is when executed properly. You were definitely the problem, not Darius.

As a Darius main I say only this: “Help my champ”

I like facing Darius, because it is an actual skillmatchup from both sides Akali and Darius . If one fucks up the other one wins Lane and at least from my side it always feels fair to face him.

Scary Door2 votes

Darius has a couple of decent matchups, but for the most part everyone destroys him; I'm alright with this I suppose because I think Darius, when strong, is unhealthy for the game overall. All of that having been said, Darius is fine as he is right now.
