Level 1 Darius ult kinda sucks

Honestly, its pathetic. level 1 Darius ult does less damage than his Q, and is better used as a gapcloser or a passive extender, or even as a set up to LAND his Q. I always wondered why the damage wasn't buffed.

Then I played against a Darius as Kled. I understood Darius is supposed to be oppressive, but I was annialated. Ironically, I love playing Darius, yet despite maining him and knowing all his weaknesses, I struggle immensely to fight him. There were many times where I escaped with 100 hp, simply because level 1 Darius ult is that bad. After this match, it made me realized why some champions don't get buffs or problem fixes. I just wish other players would see it that way too.

I aint complaining that a stupidly oppressive early champ that also has a powerful late game needs lv 11 to be able to ult everyone on my team for 500 damage.

Stop using your ult before stacking your innate.

Are you using it to engage or something? His ult does true damage based on number of hemorrhage stacks. Rank 1 darius ult with fully hemorrhage stacks does over 200 true damage.

Are you utilizing your Passive? [R: Noxian Guillotine]'s damage scales with how many stacks of Hemorrhage your opponent has on them.

Your post is confusing to me. You say that Darius lvl 1 ulti is bad, but you then say you got shit on. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here.

I consider Darius as part of my champ pool, but I've never really thought "my lvl 1 ulti sucks". I'm only Gold tho.

I would probably say that the ult doing True damage probably makes up for the lower base quite a bit, but idk.

What I really want for Darius is an execute indicator like Pyke or Urgot. I know if doesn't technically execute, but neither does Chogaths and he gets an indicator.

Most of the time Darius ult is used as a execute because it can securly finish someone off (targeted and does much more damage with 5 passive stacks + true damage + reset on kill.

Darius ult is not underpowered at all, like 1/3 of its value is in resets and true damage, which is why it scales better mid game when you're against multiple people with armor. Q also does more damage bc it's harder to land, it's a skillshot.
