without the collective rioting of low elo players getting him neutered? what holds him back besides simple player knowledge?
season 5 he was actually a competitive pick. team comps were constructed around him carrying
what do we have to do to let this be a reality again
Ahristocats2 votesin season 5 darius heal was so obnoxious without needing to hit 3 people, he could Q infinitly and** Q width WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DODGE**
i remember playing as darius in s5, i could turn off my brain and press Q constantly and never miss it the Q width nerf dropped his win rate from 54 to 51%
what darius needs to be viable is a better late game, currently he falls off in late game too hard and cannot be the "pentakill dunk carry"
his laning phase also should be less "all or nothing", either you're against an immobile melee and you stomp, or you're against mobile melees/ranged champions and you lose
Big Lincoln1 votesstronger vs range or mobile champs probably requires big changes
i wouldn't complain but no idea how to accomplish that
solving it for immobile is easy but Darius players might not like it
Ahristocats1 votesbelieve me i would like it, i don't care about bullying melee immobile champions
however, solving it for ranged champions is easy too
bring back his movement speed steroid on passive
Big Lincoln1 voteswhat do you think about making his utility scale with stacks?
noticing a lot of complaints recently about w in particular. what if slow strength/duration went up with stacks, kinda like how the CD used to reduce per stack before rework
Ahristocats2 votesyou can do w/e you want, but the core problem that should be fixed is all or nothin laning phase, and late game
the Q cast time should scale with lvl like lucian
Penns1 votesHe is already ruining my promos today cause my top laners always int him xd
Big Lincoln1 votesmy bot lane always ints fizz after he goes 0/4 before 6 so we're even xd
Penns1 votesAt least Fizz has counterplay tho :]
Srsly tho, https://i.gyazo.com/1cdc31dfca40907ffc2416e219150d25.mp4 just kite Darius... 1v5 :(
Big Lincoln1 votesseems balanced to me hehe
Penns1 votesEasily kited juggernaut https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DB8HLBqVoAA0GTp.png
Big Lincoln1 votesshort range adc with no slows hehe
not 2 mentions Lucian is better kiting in fight than he is at disengaging, he's not good at running away
Penns1 votesBut.. arent juggernauts supposed to be strong when you let them like 
and not when they run you down with dmp, a ranged hook and a 90% slow? 
Big Lincoln1 votesdepends, what is lucian gonna do to stop darius from doin that?
Penns1 votesNothing :(
Big Lincoln1 votesthat's right hehe
silly adc xd
AlienPrimate1 votesWhat I don't understand is that Darius gets 340 base speed and CC but Mordekaiser gets 325 and no cc because "he does too much damage when he is close."

EndlessSorcerer1 votesA balanced champion should not be a top pick/ban in competitive like season 5 Darius.
That was an exceptional situation due to Riot releasing the Juggernaut patch far too close to Worlds. Even then, Gangplank and Mordekaiser were the main offenders by far.
Big Lincoln1 voteswell im using context. his win and pick rate are starting to decline, both due to meta shifts and lots of little nerfs adding up
plus he's generally been the best jugg for two years. the only one he loses to is yorick and he's still superior in team fights if he doesn't hard feed. this might change next patch since 4 of them are getting significant buffs and udyr will get his the patch after next. comparatively Darius might not be so impressive anymore, which I'm happy about, but worried he might not be as useful
but more importantly i want to know why if he's worth picking in higher ranks he utterly stomps lower elo
Akali is SO HOT1 votes%max health true damage
Xd
King of Mongoose1 votesseason 5 he was overtuned and was pick or ban lol
Big Lincoln2 votesik that but I like seeing my boys in competitive, only time i watched lcs
and I want him to be better design so he isn't OP for lower elos if he's just good for better players than myself
i worded the original post poorly mb
