Darius did not need a Q buff.

r/Dariusmains - lets buff darius q heal for no reason

Riot, please explain to me how something like this can happen in the game, and you call this balanced champion. I recognise that there is some misplay here in the 3 man gank topside, and the state of the game having a huge gold lead. However, I feel like no champion should be able to pull off an outplay like this off.

I really enjoy playing your game. Please don't make things like this spoil it.

Cheers.

He played that so well. Trundle could have used ult before Darius healed and Darius would have died. Trundle Ult deals 20% (10% instantly) of a targets maximum hp as magic damage and steals 40% of their armour and MR

Darius completed Black Cleaver at 9 minutes. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=g0bby and ctrl+F S4DAM show more until you see the 13 3 6 Darius game.

He healed for 45% of his missing hp when he hit all 3 with his Q, and he was really low at the time. The whole point of his Q is to apply stacks and keep him alive in a fight, the damage is really nice when you get to max stacks with it too!

Where's your outrage when you see an Irelia/Riven solo killing their laners through sheer damage and high mobility?

I know you said you know they misplayed...

#But that's the entire point, don't have 3 people walk into his Q it's not hard

Assuming he's maxed Q here, it's hard not to walk into his Q when it has a 5s CD. I'm fine with the heal, it just feels like his heal is too liberal in the early game. Just trying to open up a dialogue to consider if this buff is a viable change.

Immobile Juggernauts by design should have increased overall power to make up for their complete immobility. Fact is, Darius wasn't living up to that, so his Q was buffed.

That said, I haven't lost a single game yet to post-buff Darius nor have I "lost lane" to one. It's not hard to avoid the Q, no matter how often it's cast.

Also in that clip, there were 2 tanks and Trundle. Juggernauts are supposed to destroy tanks by design.

im not arguing darius is op, but just to chime in the darius can gaurentee his q with his E

Psuedo-guarantee. Doesn't work vs anyone with a dash.

As an immobile champion, you simply just need to be aware of this fact and play around it. Or when flash is up just flash onto him after he uses E.

I - and I feel many others - would have preferred just uncapping the heal on his Q, rather than more damage.

If he somehow manages to get a 5-man blade hit then let the man heal for the 5x amount.
