Darius: Inhumanly Strong
I've been doing a bunch of woodcutting, for winter, and I've realized that hauling a big axe around: that thing's pretty heavy, and it takes a long time to move it around for a heavy blow.
When Darius swings his axe around for his ult, it takes him less than half a second. And he can't even be cancelled during it!
Simply: no one can swing an axe behind themselves, leap into the air, and bring the axe down in less than one second. No one can do that.
>LoL has a design that shows characters behaving realistically. Yes, that is a really skilled bowman, shooting arrows fast, but that's a realistic timing for a skilled bowman to reach for an arrow, load it in their bow, and fire it. Even Yi, at max attack speed, feels realistic for a master swordsman. When a character dashes, they move at a realistic speed for dashing. If it's a rocket propelled dash, then they'll move faster. When Heimer throws a grenade, the grenade moves at a realistic pace: it's not a rocket propelled grenade, so it moves as fast as a scientist can throw an object.
Darius's axe must weigh 40lbs or more. I encourage Riot to actually pick up an axe, and see how long it takes to actually swing it around. Darius is a really strong, trained soldier, but he cannot move inhumanly fast.
I'll buy that he can't be cancelled for being so focused, and maybe the weight of the axe can't be stopped, but Darius is supposed to be a human being!
