Darius needs some help.
A little piece of trivia for you. Darius has not received one buff since patch 5.20. That was about 2 years ago now. And yet, he has always had a decent winrate. Sometimes it has been higher, others lower- however, for the past few patches, Darius has not gone above a 50% winrate, and he still has the same play/ban-rate!. It started in patch 7.11, where we see that when Darius is about to get his fifth stack with his q, it now only puts on stack on anyone else hit. Now that's all fine and good. It was technically a bug, a bug that helped a Darius player with team fighting, but still a bug. But what really pissed me off, personally, was patch 7.14- where out of the fucking blue, we got a -10AD passive nerf. What the fuck was that for? Since then, Darius has never been above a 50% winrate. And then, the preseason comes around- the god damned preseason. Fervor of Battle was the one thing that was keeping us relevant after that passive nerf, because we actually got to have some of our passive damage back, and when we ulted, we might actually kill them. But now? No matter what rune we take, our early game is equally as shitty. A damn Nasus does more damage, and can bully us out of lane. We still have a late game yes, but I have 3 points for that. For one thing, games don't really last long enough for darius to actually do damage now. Even in bronze, the average game duration isn't even 30 minutes. And 2. even if we do make it to late game... why play Darius over literally any other brain dead tank? Darius has 1, "hard CC" ability, and 1 slow. Why do that, when you can play Maokai, or Naut? And lastly... just fuck you. Darius is weak as shit, but if you look here, you see Darius is still banned in a quarter of all games! Going by winrate, Darius is only a little bit better than god damn Nunu, and people still think Darius is the OP of the Broken of the top lane. Here is how you beat Darius right now- play literally anyone else, and dodge his Q. Well anyway, that is all I have to say about the subject. /rant. I doubt this post will get much attention, but I was just pissed off about the state of my favorite champion. So.. yeah.
player calls other champions 'braindead'
passive keystone with % ms scaling with levels.
The stacking AD that they took off of press the attack.
and maybe something to give
and Dot champs some love a DFT derivative. Make it scale off of AD/AP/Max health Adaptive. and make it like 5 dmg per tick for a nice while, say five seconds, so that it does not kill tanks, but does work on squishies.
