these are not buffs, they look more like broken champion to me, anyone else read the patch notes?, is it just me or Riot buffed him a bit to much.

2 cc slow skills (missed E because you are a noob? np.. still get a slow hit effect) self healing skill - 30% of missing hp COME ON! ultimate looks overpowered as hell.. if he get's 5 stacks on an enemy in less then a second on bloodrage mode, why buff his damage with the reworked passive?.

the moment he ultimates and kills someone it's K.O for anyone near him (and you people cry about fed master yi), am I wrong? these numbers just look high to me.

now look at Garen, we all know who Riot likes more..

They made his in-lane damage more avoidable (since his Q now has a delay on it). Which was what made Darius so oppressive in the first place.

Worth noting both of his slows require you to either land E, or be in melee range.

They were not straight up buffs, they were power readjustments. Instead of movement speed when moving toward bleeding targets he get's more AD and a longer cast time on Q. He's more dangerous if you stand next to him, but easier to get away from.

Darius was in a bad spot because he was hard to build correctly, not enough AD and he does nothing, not enough tanks and he goes splat. The new kit makes it to where its more about passive management than itemization. Also the 2 slows thing is moot, his old W was 2 seconds, its now spread between W and E.

I absolutely love current Darius, and here's my thought on the rework:

Getting the bug fix on E really sucks, it really really sucks; It was his only tool to catch people with any form of minor dash, now Vayne is just going to Q away when she hears the sound and Darius will die.

The Q delay makes me sad but I can probably deal with that change, no clue whether or not the bonus AD to total AD change will be a buff or nerf (my guess is on nerf).

The W change kills his dueling potential against auto attackers like Tryndamere when they are on the same level. Now Tryndamere/Trundle/Irelia are just going to keep auto attacking after you slow them, and you're going to lose.

The ultimate change is a straight up nerf to his damage before level 13-14 where people actually start teamfighting, losing 120 damage at level 6.

Honestly if you run from this Darius, you deserve the death because the only thing he has going for him is the slows now; he can't even apply a bleed stack with his melee range Q now.

I agree he's kit is too strong or I should say his numbers.
