How do I deal with Darius in teamfights?

No this isnt me meming or making a GG Darius thread. IM just asking a question. Typically in teamfights you are suppose to focus the enemy who is the greatest threat to your team which is typically Their ADC or mid laner. But if you leave Darius untended he will stack up his passive and instantly become this thing that can face tank your team and oneshot your squishys. So are we suppose to focus him over their carries? thanks in advance

For ADC's, you want to get a Lord Dominik's Regards to shred him down. His Q does more damage the farther out of the range you are, if you see it, get out of the range, if you cant, get in closer. If you can, CC him to oblivion and make him not able to do anything for the fight This mostly goes for tanks while the ADC melts him down. Have your Assassins or Junglers get to the backline and do work.

For one thing Greivous Wounds really mess up Darius. If you have ignite on your team, they should ignite him. Or consider getting Mortal Reminder to decreasing the healing. And let's be real most mana based mid laners nowadays get morellonomicon anyway which helps as well.

As far as focus, if your an ADC, you really don't have the capability of diving past a Darius. Instead kite him, dodge him skill shots and rely on your team to peel for you. If they don't peel for you, ya it'll suck, but that's job (provided they are playing who can peel) so if you lost team fight at that point, don't blame yourself.

If you're a Marge let's be real, unless you are Kayle or Azir (with their sustained dps) you aren't going to burst down Darius. Use whatever CC you have to help peel but save your full burst combo until either you can find the right targets or Darius is already dead.

If you are a tank, just peel him off of your carries. Take Maokai for example. He is very good at peeling champ likes Darius due to the low Cd on his Q and W. A lot of times with five fighters like Darius it's better to simply peel for your team then to straight up engage on their backline (as Darius will kill a carry faster than Maokai will).

Depends who you are playing.

Pray. But seriously, try to abuse his weak~~ k~~ness. Kite him if you can and dodge his E. Darius shouldn't be able to force a teamfight by himself if your team can do this. If your team can't win the teamfight, wait and try to make picks around the map.

believe or not.... use summoner 3 on him... he is so slowed and crippled from it he cant do anything to get close to do damage or get away and he is dead
