Be very careful. There is an ongoing trend for Darius players, where they start full 20AD runes/ early-oriented masteries. What's their tactics ?
They wait in one of top brushes, until you start thinking that he is AFK. If you get near the brush, you are 99% dead. And no one can comeback vs. a FB Darius.
Mr Broken Wings2 votesuhm without armor I highly doubt he can survive a trade earlygame against common toplane picks like pantheon or level 2 nautilus, you just push the waves anyway, you dont need to facecheck the bushes? You can walk behind the enemies and cheese them with w as darius but hey, that trick is old and nothing new D:

3ofGot40ve1 votesActually I wouldn't be surprised If he won the trade. With his bleed and heal, he can end up winning a lot of trades. That just happened to me this morning verse an olaf. During a trade he was beating me up badly, but because of my 5 stack bleed I ended up killing him and healing off him at the same time. Its pretty easy honestly.

MLDzXnRRR1 votesTiger Udyr with ignite is the same deal, if you go near him lvl 1, you die.
Kaleidos1 votesSo they just camp brush, sucker punch you with a Q and then what? A full early game build to maximize the damage of his Q still won't end up doing more than 2/3rds of most Champions' health at that level, so I don't particularly see the danger unless you panic and they get off even more free damage than they should've. That tactic in general is also very flimsy since it's easy to see through within a minute or so of laning, and any Champion with mobility or a method to check brush will be mostly unaffected by it after the initial ambush attempt (and in the case of Darius' counters, they'll just take that Q to the face as a challenge and all-in him in retaliation, and likely come out on top/force a draw).
Alytrox1 votesHave you ever played against a good bully-Darius ? Once he gets going, if your jungler doesn't camp you BEFORE lvl 6 (because he can easily get a double after), you are in deep ....
I'm not talking about Darius counters, but skill-based match-ups, or worse, champions weak vs. Darius.
