Is it just me or is darius a little weak? He's fun to play, but is super easy to counter. Sure he has damage, armor pen, a hook, true damage reset ult, and an ok dot, but he lacks many things as well. No built in sustain, no gap closer if they are out of range of hook (long CD hook too), low mana pool, no escape, low speed for a melee, low range poke/ harass, mediocre late game, no untargetable abilities, no steroids for stats to speak of except some armor pen among other things. don't get me wrong i understand champs have weaknesses and such, but why not make what darius has already a little stronger, stronger bleeds and armor pen maybe? sure his weakness is low mobility and low sustain, so why not maybe make him more difficult to melee. it's not as though he's broke like other champs (akali, fizz, and some others), and he's not played pro much at all. so why not send him some love or something, like add bonus effects to his stacks, since the theme is the longer you fight him the bigger his advantage to emphasize kiting him. I just hate his mediocrity since he's so fun to play and such a bad ass, yet he doesn't perform like a bad ass, instead little fish people like fizz are way better. so anyone know of any love coming his way from riot in the future?
