Darius , ohh Darius .

This discussion is not about "DARIUS IS TOO F*CKING BROKEN OMG NERF PLEASE", that you guys know ;) Instead, I am generally happy with the whole juggernauts. Skarner was in my opinion the best rework, they balanced him greatly to the current meta. Mordekaiser was maybe not the best possible rework, but hell this guy is fun to play! Also, you actually created some space for Morde to actually lane against someone. I'm quite glad you nerfed him afterwards, because it was sliiiiiighty too overpowered (speaking from general knowledge). He is now in a perfect position, thanks riot! Garen is okey, he is quite difficult to lane against, but it's really possible to beat the shit out of this guy. Also, the common "Win Lane, Lose Game" is not really true to Garen anymore, which I am happy to see. But in my opinion, Darius has received one of the most extreme buffs of all. He has an incredibly good laning phase, I am not joking if I say I have NEVER beaten a Darius toplane (Please note, I am a Platinum top main) Also, his late game is exceptionally strong with his Q, overall tankyness and his passive. I completely understood why Riot brought the missing health % from 15 to 12 in the first patch after the juggernauts patch, thanks Riot! Because, this meant is was easier to lane against Darius, seeing as he had a massive dominance in the toplane with that heal. Even a Quinn couldn't hold up to this guy! However, I disagree with the max 36% percentage missing health heal. Surely, I am not the only one. The rest of Darius's kit is nicely done, I like his new passive a lot, but combined with his Q, it makes him awfully strong. A little bit too strong in my opinion. My request is: Increase Darius's cooldown on his Q, seeing as he can use it many many times in teamfights, which keeps him alive in situations you should get 'totally rekt'. I understand why his heal shouldn't go down a lot, because that 'makes' Darius, but a good early AND a good lategame is a bit too much for me.

Please note: this is MY opinion. I have started this discussion to DISCUSS, and not to scream at your face that Darius is 'broken'. I would love to discuss this matter with everyone here. So please, show me your opinion! Also: thanks Rito for the mystery skins and extra RP, you've ripped another 50 euro's from my bank account :') (But i got Dragonslayer Vayne so WURF)

Thank you for reading and your future replies, Ekkienatorzz, currently Platinum 4 Toplane/Jungle main. 4 Years of experience on LoL.

Never beaten a Darius? Pick Darius and remember all the ways you get rekt and just do the same when you are against Darius.

I find it hard to believe that someone who has mained top for 4 years would have difficulty laning against Darius, especially when he's easier to lane against now than he ever was.

while garen isnt anymore, which is really nice. darius is still kinda win lane, lose game. at least in solo que.

Meanwhile Riot themselves say that the Juggernauts where handled in a bad way and that Garen and Darius are the only good one.

Mordekaiser? In a perfect position? I thought you were a sane person.

Darius He has an incredibly good laning phase, I am not joking if I say I have NEVER beaten a Darius toplane (Please note, I am a Platinum top main)

"Clearly, it's the champion's fault! Not mine!"

Also, his late game is exceptionally strong with his Q, overall tankyness and his passive.

He is not exceptionally strong late game. What makes you think that? Many times have i come out of the laning phase 10/0, and many times have i lost the game anyway. Why? Because unless he joins in at the exact perfect moment of the teamfight, in which he can execute someone and land a 4 man Q, he loses it. Simply.

Also, you talk like he always has a garanteed 36% missing health heal whenever he wants, which is false in all ways possible. Do you even know how hard it is to land the Q on 3 people at once?

And since we are talking about late game, remember item 3033 and item 3165? Only one of you in your team needs to buy one of these and Darius becomes useless all game, unless that perfect teamfight that i described happens.

Since you used that as an argument, i might aswell say that i'm a Darius main for refference. Feel free to discuss.

darius is probably the only good thing to come out of these reworks

Pick Fiora on him and get a Qss after your first major item. See the magic happen!!!

When there is a Darius top in ranked, all I have to do to faceroll him is choose Olaf, stack health and LS, and max true damage e first.

Good shit, Darius. Thanks for the easy lane

Time Darius cooldowns, avoid heal. When he pulls, ult, true damage and out sustain him as Olaf
