An immobile melee with a decent laning phase if he gets ahead with no team fight presence besides ksing wasn't picked.
I wonder why?
And they say Darius is fine/borderline strong, yet nobody in NA challenger picks him.
Buff/Rework Darius 2015.
Edit: Grammar
Rinky Dinky2 votesHe got buffed just this patch. Isn't it too early to say he is still weak?
IsIsGankedParis1 votesThe buff isn't that noticeable till level 11 if he gets multiple dunks, or late game dunks.

No. Do you really think a full reset at a point of the game where you can't pick-off anyone by yourself if they have a brain a buff? Basically, it just changed the fact that riot fucked up his early game when taking out the reset at early levels. It is a good buff, but Darius is WAY too bad

sevexpei1 votesSo many people believe that Darius is too weak to get picked, but any time I play against one he becomes an indestructible powerhouse that requires 3-4 players to take down, and even then you'll lose 1 or 2. I think he's just one of those champs that has a bad rep, but if more people played him we'd see that he's actually a little too powerful.
IsIsGankedParis1 votesI main him, I'm friends with a Darius main in Diamond.
He's only a monster if he gets that fed, which is almost the same for every champ.
I can't say you're wrong, I wasn't in any of those games with you, but Darius is really bad, he either feasts like you have described, or famines worse than the irish, being worse than a cannon minion for his own team.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesIkr? I was really looking forward to at least one team to pick him up. Hell, I was actually expecting UOL or Gravity(b4 they got eliminated) to try him out.

Darius is not on the list.
Sightless661 votesThere are a lot of champions not on that list. Not all of them suck. This isn't amazing evidence. I'm not saying he's good or bad or whatever, but this isn't some Darius specific thing, and it isn't sufficient for proof that he's terrible.
DropFill1 votes" Darius is a beast, if ganked gets a double" " Darius zones all melee LOL " " Darius ult too much damage "
People can't actually see that Darius is TRASH. Go and ask for teemo buffs ( teemo is TRASH too ) and the community will downvote you by saying he nukes people with his ult ( that got a 30% AP scaling nerf and a base damage nerf that I don't remember ). The community is just a bunch of kids who hate every single champion that ONE DAY was strong. I understand the Riven hate ( BS shield, mobility, trading potential, AD steroid and ranged AoE execute vs Damage, more damage, a short range hook that deals no damage, armor pen that only scales later in lvls since you upgrade it later, ult that doesn't scale well and the base damage is kind of low )

Darius is not on the list.
53 champions are on the list.
More than half are not.
This does not mean that Darius is as weak or underpowered as you appear to be claiming. All it suggests is that people in challenger perceive him to be in the worst 71 champions.
SS Enforcer1 votesI think that this is another case of the "yorick syndrome". The yorick syndrome is when no one knows shit about a champion, altough it's not that bad. No one picks that champion so no one knows how strong it is, they just assume that it's bad. Then some guy in competetive play picks him or starts playing him in challenger, and they realize, damn, that's kinda strong isn't it?
(Of course, with Darius you need a lot of experience too, you need to know your damage numbers really well because of the ults, and you need to know how to land your e perfectly.)
BluePolarizer1 votesAll they need to make Darius viable is giving his E a shorter CD and letting it deal minor damage so it stacks his passive.
