How did reworking darius turn into "lets give him a heal based on his Q cd and how many enemies he hits with it!" Darius's problem was never healing, nor does he need a 38% missing hp heal on his 3 second long cd.

His problem was surviving in teamfights, which now he does.

No, it was getting to targets in teamfights without them getting out of range.

Now he just sits around and heals for 1000hp with a Q when he has 4k max hp

And if he had an easy way to get into fights he'll be more bullshit than Irelia.

So what does Riot do? they give him a way to play around his weakness, in the form of a heal so he can survive until he finds a good chance to focus a target.

I agree he's a bit too strong, but the heal is not unhealthy by any means, he might need more CD or mana costs to balance him.

Let me clarify, im not asking for darius to have an easy way to get into teamfights, i'm wondering why he has a heal on his main damaging ability that has a 3 second cd.

If darius has around 4k hp and can spam heal / damage his Q in a fight, he essentially heals more than mundo would. This is just ridiculous. Do you know any champ that has a heal that can be spammed on a low cd based on ur missing hp?

First off, its 30%.

Second of all, its getting nerfed to drop to 12% / 24% / 36% depending on how many people you hit with the blade (so its a nerf unless you're somehow hitting 3 people at once with the blade of his Q; in which case thats on them for positioning so badly, they deserve to lose that fight)

Mana cost on Q is also getting hit, going to 30~50 depending on rank; up from 30 at all ranks. We can expect more if he still proves to be overtuned after that.

Yeah, thats a buff.

Yeah, thats a buff.

How is it a buff, I mean sure it is if your team is absolutely retarded and just has 3 people walk into his blade, then sure it will heal him for more than it does now; but in EVERY other circumstance, its a nerf.

How? you heal more if you hit it on multiple targets?

His Q is for damage, his W is for sticking to people, his E is to get people at range closer to him, and his Ult is to execute.

A kit like this doesn't need heals based on your missing hp, it just doesn't.
