Even with the perception of being OP with his 51.9% win rate

SquashCannon··3 votes·501 views

Darius is hardly a contender for OP when vi sits at 15+% pick rate and 54% win rate. Why nerf darius before vi? Also, the main reason for darius jumping is because tanks became so powerful with CoC and darius is the only real counter to otherwise broken tanks.

You're about to nerf CoC again, which is what created this entire mess anyways, maybe wait to see how CoC nerfs affect darius and tanks and even HARDCORE abusers like vi first?

He barely got a nerf... rotfl... Punishing him for missing the q and giving players more incentive to try an actually outplay the Q. As for his passive... it was just too strong and is still going to be strong after this nerf... just not fucking utterly oppressive.

I dont mind early game nerf, I just want to make sure "x" is still 200, because his late game wasnt even a problem considering how difficult it is to get noxian might late game when he, as a single CC off tank, gets shredded pretty fast and is 100% immobile unlike other tanks/off tank (poppy dash, vi, etc.).

To be fair... every Darius I see becomes even more oppressive late game then early game. I feel like this champion only gets better as he reaches late.

The only time he does is if your team has two or more tanks and starts to lack any real damage. Late game darius usually feels like a tool when trying to chase down the ADC.

because junglers have more control of the map than some blinkless toplaner.

Then why nerf the blinkless top laner?

Because having that sort of winrate without any sort of escape means he is just shrugging off ganks. Look at the winrates of the other immobile juggernauts. you will see a big difference

It depends on who his laner is and who is ganking him.

If its two tanks jumping him then sure he'll win. If its a tank and a bruiser he has a chance. A tank and a carry and he has almost no chance outside of a serious outplay/enemy misplay.
