Buff Darius

IsIsGankedParis··2 votes·335 views

He's immobile with no escapes which is basically a death sentence in todays game seeing as everybody and their mother has a form of dash/hop/massive speedboost or all lumped together.

He's either a slug fest with another melee to death or he's a I cant reach you so kite me to death ranged champions, his pull isn't enough as it has a wind-up time and has 540 range from 550.

His whole kit revolves around his ult which got nerfed to no longer fully reset so he can no longer keep late game champs down as well.

His movespeed bonus, it isn't amazing guys, 5% for each bleeding champ, chasing a champ at level 1 with no items and them bleeding makes you barely able to keep up with them and even then just barely.

He has no innate tankiness or sustain, every other bruiser/tank has one of some sort, he's not tanky without risking his whole build being built into tank items except maybe 1 damage item.

Oh he has an ability which lets him get penta kills in games? He can't have something unique in this game but I do see your point, he's similar to Garen in terms of ult as they both get the most out of it ulting low health enemies, garens is better on health stacking enemies and Darius is better on people within health range of him getting his reset.

His scalings need to be adjusted to fit his play style if he does get reworked, if he's going to beneft from building tanky only(maybe 1 damage item) his scalings should be total AD not bonus AD.

See, this is more constructive. Good job. Try to brainstorm ideas for each issue though, so we have some idea of what you want to see happen. And remember to DISCUSS with people, not rage at opinions that don't agree with yours. Mind you the boards largely ignore your posts now since you spammed them, but if you provide the problems you see, as well as possible solutions you may get somewhere.

I don't rage at people, if you look at my first few posts that were more or less intelligently trying to speak I got downvoted to oblivion allthe time saying darius is the tankinest champ in game, can 100-0 better then zed or fizz if he pulls you in, his % armor pen makes him the most op vs tanks, etc.

After having 5 posts trying to have convos with boards and getting those responses, it gets to a person.

GD was NOT like this when I posted this shit there, they actually took 5 seconds to research.

except he's the only tank/bruiser that has passive PERCENTAGE ARMOR PENETRATION. Nobody else has that.

wukong has that

So does J4, but they both have to use an ability to do so. Darius's is up all the time.

Wukong gets more armor penetration on his Q at all levels, and the cooldown is low enough it will be up for every trade, and only gets lower. Leveling his armor pentration skill also gives Wukong more damage. J4 has the same advantages. Meanwhile, all Darius gets aside from arpen is less CD on a grab that even at level 5 has a higher CD than most CC skills and escapes (and has a cast time to boot). He can only use his grab offensively on people he would shit on anyway, because champs like Quinn and Ryze will always have their escapes and CC up before he gets his grab again.

Since E gives no damage and the CD is obnoxious leveling it will feel awful in every scenario, especially when his Q and W are just flat out better (hitting people with the blade of Q gives a 50% damage bonus, his W gives an AS/MS slow). Darius pays a very high price to have that arpen, and it isn't worth it. The arpen doesn't even synergize with his ultimate since it does true damage.

Huh, I always felt he was in a good spot. My top mains are pretty strong (Rene, Panth) And tbh, Darius is one of the few champs that I dread top lane for his early 1v1 power. If he lands that grab, he's won the trade, simple as that.

no, if he lands the grab he wont win the trade automatically, it all depends on the darius player in knowing how to micro manage his skills and abilities.

Also when I meant no if he lands a grab he wont win, if he doesn't get his outer Q he won't win the trade most of the time(unless it's against an early game Nasus with 10 stacks)

Take it from Renekton, Darius can win trades pretty dang well. >_< He hurts. About the only weak point I've seen when against Darius is "Oh, he's kitable." Now imagine how hard I flashed when he grabbed mobi boots.
