People of Gameplay and Balance, why do you think Darius is fine/good?
And I just want well thought out arguments, I'll start by saying why he isn't good/competitive, because I can't see how some people say he's in a great spot.
He is kited extremely hard, he misses his E and he is useless for a long time.
He only has damage in his kit, he's the only Bruiser without tankiness or sustain built into his kit.
Feast or famine, if he feasts it's a great feast, if he famines he is more useless than a cannon minion, except he kses.
His teamfight is extremely poor except for the constant threat of him ksing everybody, which isn't always bad.
No built in escape, if he overextends in lane and gets ganked, he will probably die unless he is ahead.
Either hard counters extremely unfairly and wins with no skill, or loses to another extremely unfairly and loses hard(melee vs ranged).
Now I'll list the pros that I do know that WARRANT me picking him in ranked from time to time.
Has high damage and mixed damage.
Is a great counter to some champs in game, can keep them down for a while.
Is extremely easy to pick up as a champion.
Can 5 man pull an entire team IF used correctly, this isn't always a good thing though.
Dunks.
Now I want to know why you guys think he is fine/good, whenever I make a Darius thread I'm either told he is fine, sleeper, op, or is too strong to get a buff as he will be back to release Darius in the form of ruining either his teams, the enemy teams, or both teams times in game.
