He has a true damage nuke that resets off kills and a passive that increases his AD by maximum of 200 AD. Also, he has built in 25% armor pen and two slows/one pull and a missing health % aoe heal. This guy is absolutely fucking ridiculous in lane and in teamfights.
The one weakness he has is almost completely negated by Stormraider's Surge.
ModWulf Helhammer4 votesMaybe cause he isn't?
Jetjoe3 voteshe actually is, especially as a mele, he might be the strongest melle in an equal skill matchup
redniwediS4 votesYou can list the strengths of any champion in the game and make them seem strong.
That said I would like to direct you to this thread, because you're using the word "broken" wrong. Broken is not a synonym to overpowered. It has it's own definition, and using terms correctly helps keep a lot of confusion from happening.
Jetjoe3 votesHe is broken, not overpowered. A champion who can do that much damage with just one item then do 1000 true damage late game is goddamn ridiculous .
redniwediS3 votesIs he underpowered then? A champion being broken means their strength cannot exist between the terms overpowered and underpowered. If Darius is not overpowered, but he is broken, then that means he must be underpowered.
He is a very strong champion, but his kit is not unbalancable. Broken is a synonym to unbalancable after all.
federicx1 votesbroken means broken, broken things can be fixed, so broken is not a synonim of unbalanced

This post is a year old dude.
ModWulf Helhammer4 votesHe does not instantly do that much damage. He has to stack his passive, which require him to get in your face. Stop letting him do that, and viola, Darius becomes useless, as is the case for nearly all the juggernauts (which, by the way, is the point)
Jetjoe1 votesOnce he gets to your face, he kills you.
He can deny an enemy farm and with his range he can push the lane to your tower and has the potential to kill you and your jungler as his attacks are AOE.
GULAG 4 U1 votes1000 damage? U sure he didn't go full ad?
Jetjoe1 votesnah his ult stacks passively not dependent on the item build which is why all he needs is black cleaver and maybe hydra, then all armor and mr so he can sustain and stack.
I just did a bot game for fun, only got black cleaver and it was 1020 true damage at level 18.
Not to mention his armor shred bleed effects etc.
Jbels3 votesDarius isn't broken. He's opressive in lane, and laning against him makes you want to rip your own balls off, (which is really funny since Tahm Kench was nerfed repeatedly and consistently for the same reason), and he makes Riot's whole statement on "Healthy lane interaction" hypocritical and bullshit, but he is still kiteable, and he can still b dealt with
Hayaishi23 votesHe does what he's meant to do well. A huge threat in melee range that can be kited ridiculously easy.
Friendly Ram2 votesWho is darius? Do you mean dar-dar binks?
warpenguin5551 votesNot broken, although i do agree that he is still strong.
CTSB1 votes2 years later, still broken
