Darius rework, fixing his bullying of melees and making him actually useful

We'll cut right to the chase, as this will likely die Passive: Can probably stay the same as it isn't a huge gamebreaker, can be nerfed early/buffed late if needed and maybe remove the bonus MS to compensate for his other abilities

Q: Changed from a circle to a front swing (think Diana passive but bigger range) that deals more damage the farther away a target is

W: AS/MS slow changed to an MS steal ala Malphite Q

E: Darius begins charging forward shoulder first, gaining % damage reduction (or resists) and movespeed while moving towards enemy champions but loses the ability to AA. After X seconds this ability can be reactivated to strike all targets around Darius, slowing enemies and granting Darius movespeed, both scaling with how many champions are hit

What this does:

  • No longer crushes melee matchups and is possible to duel
  • Now able to participate in teamfights with defensive steroid, mobility and CC
  • Can actually trade with ranged champions that he can't 100-0

So you want to give darius some mobility.....

How about no hes fine enough as he is for now. Hes supposed to be a lane bully because hes not that great outside of lane unless he can stick on people constantly. We also dont need any more mobility im sick of it.

I'd like him to be playable instead of just a lane bully

He is very playable and hes a very very real threat in team fights but since hes the way he is he cannot have mobility otherwise he would be silly broken. If you really wanted to change darius and give him that E that you suggested his ult would have to completely go away because you can't have something like that and have mobility. But if you remove the ult you remove what makes Darius....Well Darius. His ult is a huge threat in fights and i like it that way but hes not impossible to deal with.
