Is it possible to give Darius a buff that doesn't affect his lane but make jungling possible?

Something like his Q heal working on large monsters but if he Qs a champion and a large monster and hits both of them with the blade, he only gets the heal as if he hit one target.

Or make him a power farming jungler with OK ganks by giving his passive bonus damage to monsters. Something like 2x damage if he gets 5 stacks on the monster.

Or making his E passive give him 5-25% bonus damage to monsters.

Thoughts?

Darius might move too slow to jungle. Or even gank.

I foresee a lot of ghost on Darius jungle, and ganks only after boots are complete (mandatory item 3009 ).

Possibly MS quints...

The only buff I could see them giving him is making his passive deal bonus damage to monsters.

As it's been said, he may be too slow to be useful, without a significant number of MS boosts. A boost to his passive against monsters would be the best way to execute it, though.

Give his Q bonus damage to monsters.

Considering how hard he dominates so many match-ups, I don't want to see him have the option of going jungle if he gets counterpicked.

Darius isnt mean to be a jungler, so they arnet going to give him buffs for it

Is it possible? Certainly, you gave many examples yourself, and there are plenty of other solutions.

Is it desirable? I'm not so sure. If you don't get the opportunity to shut down a Darius in lane, he will reliably get to his late game powerspike, and it's probably not a good idea.

Darius would apply no pressure because of no mobility. Here's my thoughts if I'm playing mid against Darius jungle. Control ward one of the bushes in the river and a yellow on the other side so he can't come behind because that would be his only gank path. Countered and can't apply pressure to me because he has no mobility. If I see him topside I can just hug the bottom side of the lane and there's no way he can catch me. Overall just no way he can be an effective jungler even if he could sustain throughout the jungle.
