Can we do something about Darius?

First off I preferred him before he got the changes to his kit, he is honestly more annoying than he use to be and that's saying something. I think it's pretty cancerous that a champion can apply a major slow and then he can just pull you back in with his E, you can't really get away unless you have flash or some kind of escape ability. I also hate how Darius players take ignite on a champion with a BUILT IN DOT PASSIVE, it's literally a built in ignite so taking ignite is just adding insult to injury, also the ability to regain hp on his Q is stupid and don't even get me started on the range for his Q and E. There is also the matter of Noxian Might which is also cancerous when the champion has a built in true damage execute that also RESETS, if you take ignite on Darius you can literally W>E>Q>Ignite>Ult = Dead, he really doesn't even need ignite to secure the kill so really the combo is more W>E>Q>Ult = Dead

For example I just got done playing Singed against a Darius who took ignite and I couldn't do a single thing, I'd go in to farm a wave and he would just W me which applies that slow, he then just pulled me back in with his E and then ulted me. I couldn't even farm under tower because if I even attempted to walk out from under it he'd just do the combo again, I'm using Singed as an example but I feel like lots of champions have this issue against him. I mean granted I wasn't playing a Mundo or someone who can actually hold their ground against a Darius. I'm not saying he can beat every top lane champion, my point is that I just feel like somethings need to be changed on his kit.

I really don't know what to suggest that would help but maybe lower the range on his E or perhaps get rid of the slow that he applies with his W, I don't know if those are ground breaking nerfs but something has gotta give, the guy literally is a monster.. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm raging, I tried to write out my issues with the champion. I'm just still upset from that last game, it really frustrated me that people who main Darius feel like they have to brag about playing a champion like that, and then they take IGNITE on a DARIUS and act like they are a badass when he doesn't even need ignite in his lane.

I would literally rather have fought a Teemo or Heimerdinger as Singed instead of Darius, that shit was just poor cancer and then he has the audacity to talk trash to me.

the amazing thing about the darius rework is that they took a champion that was not fun to play against, or to have on your team, and managed to make him also not fun to play as... i wish they'd just revert that stupid rework and bring back my guilty pleasure of a dueling splitpusher... who also had the unique characteristic of being a melee champion with no built in sustain or tankiness :(

I just played a game against a totally off meta comp, one that didn't include an adc. However let me tell you just how we lost. I write this paragraph FILLED with rage because Darius is so immensely unbalanced. Darius not only managed to pick up a 1v4 quad at some point, but after that happened, my team fixed up the strategy with which we were playing, and managed to come in with a big comeback. We killed everyone else on their team at least 3 times (not darius). When it came to killing darius we had a different approach. 1v4. We took 4 people, with 4 items, vs the darius with 5 items and managed to take him down without him killing us all. Not only did he build FULL TANK, but the only way we survived was the kiting powers of lucian, Lulu peel, and Nami peel. Now this... This was rediculous. If it takes 4 people to take down one champion, how in the world are we expected to win fights of any sort. Darius could stomp anyone. He got 5 stacks on me at one point, and having me build tank, I wasn't too entirely worried about death. 1100 True damage. I was shocked. How could anyone find this fair at all. We managed to outplay them in every situation, multiple times, and still lost. His team had no peel for him, and his damage was about triple any of the other members' of his team. All I'm saying is... When am I going to be able to play against a darius and win?

Notice how the rest of his team fed http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2017418792/212342896 Thanks <3
