RIP Darius

Penta in LCS. Watch as he gets gutted, as bronzies completely ignore that C9 had a team built around him, and FNT made some poor choices against him.

EDIT: Copying my reply from below: "That's exactly it. By building a team that shred towers, you force the other team to hard engage on you before it's destroyed. Darius literally just has to sit between the enemy and his back line and they have to go through him. Remember, his greatest weakness is being kited which is irrelevant if they're forced to come to him."

This is the real reason he did so well. This is also why he doesn't normally do so well in organized play. In most other circumstances the other team wouldn't have let this slide at select.

Darius needs to be gutted, if there is champion that basically has a garenteed win in their lane, it needs to be stopped.

Q has percentage heals and damage, with a low cooldown His passive at level 18 gives him 200 bonus AD His ult deletes too much His has too much cc with that pull, I know that's his only cc, but its too much.

Darius is just way too overboard since his rework. He needs to be worked down to the bone so that a tank... sorry BRUISER THAT BUILDS FULL TANK.... doesn't delete people.

They had a backline that forced FNT to engage, which means they had to go through Darius. A Morgana to disable CC, and Azir and Morgana both have massive amounts of CC. They absolutely destroyed FNT at champ select. This wasn't Darius being OP, this was what LCS should be.

It still blows my mind that they picked Yasuo into him. Why not gnar?

FNC did some poor choices, C9s baron calls were worse than them. C9 did not deserve the win.

Quinn still counters him in lane. RIP guaranteed win in lane...

And yet Vanye and Jinx are still on the loose. Riot logic.

Watch the footage again and notice that he ults a half HP full tank Gragas and kills him instantly.

Yeah, OK, balanced you say?
