Darius is LONG overdue for a nerf
The fact that everyone DREADS playing against him while he stampedes through top lane untouched is deplorable. How is he not nerfed yet?

Except there exists a version of Darius with none of Darius's weaknesses already, while being braindead to play: 
- Sustain
- Doesn't fall off as hard as Darius, and is made forever relevant by threat of point and click QSS tax .
- Movement speed passive
- Don't worry about mindlessly spamming spells, they're all manaless and on shorter cooldowns.
- Tankier to boot
- While Darius has W, slowing from Rylai's and AP item pool proves more efffective.
Only advantages Darius has is better E and the possible potential if he reaches 5 stacks, which usually doesn't happen a single time in a game. They only times you'd EVER want to pick Darius instead are possibly into tanks, on the rare chance you see one. If you don't believe me, compare the winrates and pickrates of Darius and Morde.
I would agree if Morde didnt exist.
Morde is a far more disgusting version of him that puts your team in autolose situations by pressing R.
You could remove the stat steal from his R completely and he'd still be broken.
How does everyone "dread" playing against Darius? Is it because of a 38% banrate according to leagueofgraphs?
I ban him because I don't want to play against him. I don't dread playing against him, I'd rather go up against Darius than Mordekaiser. The only reason I ban Darius over Morde is because I see a Darius more frequently.
Imo he is actually really well balanced atm hes sitting at a 50.19%winrate which is pretty much as close to balanced as it can get.
Look. I hate dealing with him as much as the next sane toplaner, but you've literally done nothing to justify it.
The fact that people don't like him does not justify a nerf. Otherwise my sheer, undying, unending hatred of Fiddle would be enough to justify nerfing him to a sub 10 winrate.
