As it is currently on PBE;
Darius: 100 HP per level 5 AD per level 4.5 Armor per level
Garen: 84.25 HP per level 3 AD per level 3 Armor per level
I can deal with the lower armor per level since Garen's W is going to grant flat bonus armor (with farming, blech) but why does Darius also get to have 15 more health per level AND almost twice the AD gain per level? That seems a little unfair to me.
Because Garen has mobility, sustain, and damage reduction. Darius has none of these, therefore needs higher base stats.
Because Darius sucks as a champion.
Because garen e as 1210 base damage with no bonus ad items on isolated targets 900 if not isolated and it has a a 500% ad ratio 60% higher than wukongs ultimate and if every tick crits its a WhOPPING 1000% AD RATIO
garen e DPS is fucking trippled.
Cause garen"s passive with some items is like mini mundo ultimate.
Garen also has more mobility
only problem i have is that Garen has retarded armor gain, why not buff his gains per lvl and remove it altogether
Because Garen is tankier, has better DPS, mobility, sustain and zero resources.
Because Garens passive while out of combat is pretty much Fountain regeneration.
Oh, and to the folks who try to leverage his W against his base armor gains
Darius Armor Gains: 17 * 5 = 85
Garen Armor Gains 17 * 3 = 51 + 30 (Max W amount) = 81.
Because it's the PBE, and subject to change before live comes.
