Darius is now one of the weakest top laners after these changes, from lane bully to mediocre.

How did this happen you might ask?

His main damaging spell has a delay that can easily be dodged by every champ in the game with some movespeed or a dash(most of the roster)

He lost his movespeed bonus on his passive.

His W slows for half the duration now. "But the speed is twice as strong!"

Doesn't do shit when they will only be slowed for 1 second and not 2.

He lost his attack speed slow which was what made him be sort of viable in the top lane.

Lost damage in every single part of his kit across the board in exchange for a 40-200 AD steroid, I don't see Riven losing her shit for the massive fucking steroids she has.

His R does less damage but now fears minions! Wow so good! That'll show the enemy I'm a threat in a teamfight!

Early game gets shat on harder by Riven, Renekton, and Gnar.

Now loses to Trynd, Irelia, Fiora.

Can't bully Nasus even CLOSE to as hard as before.

Whether you believe this or not, his current late game(live server) is slightly worse than this Darius, SLIGHTLY, in exchange for a worse early game.

3/10 rework.
