Darius is getting BUFFED?

He already has over a 52% winrate, and that's with a high pickrate. His kit is overloaded - in theory it may be hard to land his Q's blade, but with a pull and a pair of 90% slows it's not.

I think the Q haft radius should be increased - I was trading autos with Darius as Garen and his Q's blade hit me. You have to be rubbing up against his manly chest to avoid the blade if you're in range. I don't think that's something Garen wants to do.

Just putting it out there, thats sort of the point; if Darius is blowing TWO skills just to hit you with his Q (especially if he's initiating with his pull for some god forsaken reason) he better dam well have an easy time hitting that attack.

That said, the buff will do very little outside SLIGHTLY help his CSing (since he can now last hit with W more often), i'll be surprised if his winrate goes up really at all.

Thats not to say I think he's in a fine place, Q needs to be nerfed either by keeping the damage (or maybe even slightly raising it) and completely removing the heal; or keeping the heal, but losing some damage (more damage than 5.15 Darius, less than 5.16)

most of that are just tooltip updates. they hotfixed him a week ago. if im not mistaken, hes at 52% after these buffs, which is perfectly fine.

look at vayne. shes almost got 50% pickrate and is at 51% winrate for example. if she doesnt deserve nerfs, then neither does darius.

I think making the range indicator more exact would be a good thing in making him less frustrating. It hits even when the blurr doesn't hit you, which is annoying, especially in your first time vs darius.
