What if Darius Q damage depended on how much targets he hit?

So while i'm a darius main and hate the shittalk of board on his laning phase as he loses to many melees

i had an idea going through my mind that might make him less frustrating to fight in low elo

decimate: damage reduced from 40/70/100/130/160+100/110/120/130/140% total ad to 30/55/80/105/130+100/110/120/130/140% AD ratio base damage is now increased if he hits at least 2 champions with the blade

2 champions: 50/85/120/155/190+ same AD ratio

less bullshit in lane, better in teamfight =?

As a 100k Mastery point on Darius with m7, wouldn't it make physical sense to make his damage lower for each enemy hit? And he does snowball super hard in team fights if he gets a hold of Noxian Might.

sense is not the goal of those changes, those changes aim to please people who can't manage to beat darius somehow in lane while making him better in teamfight/mid game

It is very easy to get Noxian Might, the most notable ways being KSing your teammates with R or landing 5 auto's with maximum AA cancel and efficiency (requires skill)

we literally cannot talk about darius, playing darius in high elo is an other world

people won't let you attack 5 times, either because of kiting, or because of high amount of damage before you get 5 stacks (darius has the worst as/lvl and base as)

KSing your teammate is also hard, have you seen the damage of darius R without some stacks and without noxian might? you're going to lose your R often as it's going to deal like nothing

well you aren't really factoring in skill right now

As far as I know, the easiest way to get as much stacks as possible when you have an opening is E auto auto (2nd auto isn't really realistic as it takes too much time without AS built) WQ (animation cancel Q) auto and if possible, titanic hydra active auto but this is not a teamfight combo

Also, E is still a CC and can be easily used to interrupt the enemy mid-trade as it is a pull with technically 2 CC's (pull and tiny ass knockback when their character hits darius and bounces back) and a viable duration. Used at it's prime can basically be on the equivalent of a Blitz Pull with only less distance, not to mention the hitbox is "3D" so you can pull enemies farther than what the animations show, or enemies may not be pulled even if the animation shows they should.

As for anything outside of 2v1's or 1v1's (teamfights)

  1. last hitting a target with R is the same thing as last hitting a minion with an auto attack, except you need faster reflexes and prediction and a bit more luck. Only pressing R is very rash and is suggested you auto W R instead ( with AA cancel ). And an enemy being caught out lets you snowball even easier. However I'll admit that you need to take out the backline first as they deal the most damage and the frontline ain't gonna let you waltz in there. So a flash is almost mandatory if you want to snowball the teamfight to the point where it completely turns it around. I'lll finish that part later though

So what you're asking is for him to be better in teamfights even though Riot said they just want him to be a lane bully?

I mean he's already got a hard time in team fights especially against very mobile carries, so if anything he's going to have to balloon his lead from lane
