Am I the only one who really does not like how the Darius rework panned out?

I mean for gods sake, his Q has 20 base damage, and that's IF you hit them with the blade. Speaking of which, he has a decent heal on it, but you don't get the bleed unless you back off when auto'ing in order to hit them with the blade, on top of that dumb as hell wind up that they threw on for "counterplay" He has shit AS now, making the dream of getting five stacks of hemorrhage nearly impossible, and with the MS gone from his passive, there is nothing stopping people from casually walking away from you after you grab them. hell, with his AS slow gone from his W, his dueling skills have gone to hell too. Idk, but out of the reworks done here, this feels like the first skarner rework all over again, where Riot just fiddles around with his numbers, gets rid of what they determine "toxic" and dont really change how he feels or plays out. Maybe its just me, what is everybody else's opinon?

You're not alone muh brother, but unfortunately the circle-jerk on the forums relentlessly bashes down every "Darius needs buffs" threads while people are QQ'ing over garen getting 5% less movespeed

I remember posting to statik as well that new darius felt terrible, and people downvoted me to hell saying his teamfighting is "OP"

Sucks but darius has no hope but to wait for a full-scale rework again

I think he's actually in a good spot. He still wrecks the champions he wrecked pre-rework, but his weaknesses and strengths are a bit more clearly defined.

Darius is still a nightmare for Nasus and Riven, Black Cleaver now works nicely on crunching tanks to pieces even harder,

His current passive gives me the feeling of: If you let me get the steroid up, you deserved to be penta-dunked.
