Playing Darius on the free week was definitely an experience...

My first time playing Darius was during this champion rotation. I ended up playing him ten times, and the whole process broke my brain.

For one, Darius is one of the most fun champions in the game. Getting Noxian Might, dunking people, even just pulling two people to line up the perfect axe spin, it was all just a blast. Those were honestly some of the most fun solo games in my whole league career.

But at the same time, I just felt like such a scumbag, because Darius is SO broken. The fact that I got a Quadra on my second game Darius, and two triples on the third, really proves that. He's just able to dish out so much damage while being so tanky at the same time. Before now I thought that people were just exaggerating about how overpowered he is to play, but they were completely right. Being able to get a triple dunk is an amazing feeling, but not for the people that you just 1v3ed. When's he getting a BIG nerf?

He does not need a nerf.

Yea, Darius might seem op at first (especially if you played full as Darius pre rework) but he does have many weaknesses that do keep him balanced.

He's not. Darius is in a good spot right now. He can be oppressive, but needs to snowball most games to stay in the lead.

woah a champion SPECIFICALLY focused around his ability to multikill... multikills?!

is katarina OP too?

I get what you're saying, but Katarina is a horrible comparison. She has absolutely no CC, and is extremely squishy, while Darius is just dealing a ton of damage to everyone while being quite hard to kill.

Darius is fine. He just happens to be in that category of champs that folks go pants on head moronic when he shows up, like illaoi Fiora and Yasuo.

I guess that I'm just naturally good with him? You people don't think that he needs a nerf, but it still doesn't change the fact that I got three S ranks and a positive KDA every game I played with him, all in my first week.

Darius is pretty strong but he need another frontline to go in first.

Also, he seems strong in lane but is pretty beatable with good mobility champs who can in and out him without taking full stacks (Renekton, Riven, etc.).

The best thing to do with him is to just stacks on their frontline and then go melt ppl

I don't get why Annie's stun can't have an expiry time.
