Riot about the Darius buffs

Darius Please, for the love of god DO NOT BUFF MY FUCKING DAMAGE.

I dont need damage, I need to stop dying to 1v1's to (supposedly) hyperscaling late game champions like Riven in one of their combo rotations.

Just buff my base armor by 5 (It sounds like alot, its not these days) and my Q healing. Hashinshin had the recommendation to buff the healing on the first target hit to 20% and leave all other targets to 12%, Id take it to be honest, but the last thing I need is armor, even some move speed would be better. Revert the E range nerf from a few seasons back would be nice or just giving it more range in general because theres been alot more ranged matchups. Adding 5 movespeed to every hemorrhaged target would also be nice.

Disclaimer, dont add all of these at once (or else Darius just becomes op and therefore perma banned :/ )

Riot: wait, you can buff champions other than increasing their damage? What is this nonsense you are speaking about?

More damage when we pop like a balloon anyways [slayer-jinx-unamused]

they could also remove the limitation of the heal multiplier concerning how many champions he hits.

lets be real here, how hard is it to set up a 5 man q on darius and how regularly will that happen? i think if he manages to pull that off and actually hits 4 or 5 people with his q, he should get 4 or 5 times the heal, and it shouldnt cap out at 3.

I really don't understand why from all the toplaners they chose Darius . I mean, Garen is standing there waiting to get back in the game so is Aatrox . Darius has been good and in teamfights, give him time to reach 5 stacks and you won the teamfight. I really wonder if they will buff his teamfighting power and I am afraid that they will reduce the stacks needed for ult or something like that (because u know, riot full retar.d video games)

About Volibear, he needed a bit more help in teamfights, not in lane, like making his ult like give him more health the more enemies around him (or something like old irelia passive)

Don't you fucking dare bring tank Ekko back

Maokai just needs when he e onto you, to get the old passive back (does a small splash area of damage on e when thrown) or else he is perfectly fine

Sorry Shen mains but you gotta say, if he gets more damage buffs he will be overpowered and since shen (damage-wise) falls off late game he will be even more useless

Sylas No, for the love of god, don't buff the guy who gets 200+ health just for clicking on ya.

Akali even tho I really despite her, she does not need any nerfs

Hecarim "We know that sometimes we nerf champions because of their runes and not for their kit and we will try to change that" -Riot And hecarim is getting nerfed because of conqueror because since the celerity nerf (doesnt give damage or ap based on speed) nobody is using conqueror except rarely a gragas or a annie or a vlad and they want hecarim to use it again to 1 shot people

JarvanIV is strong because of lethality and diver jarvan (health/tank j4 too) is just fine but he will get nerfed because of again, items he build

All I want to see as a Morgana nerf is for her q cd to begin when the target is un-rooted

Hur dur, let us nerf RekSai because she is used at challenger competitive too much!

I have no fucking idea what they will do to Kindred

And there is a Ezreal buff here by buffing manamune because he is literally the only person who still builds it.

I agree those other ideas (excluding hashinans idea), would be better, but I'm not going to complain about the q damage buff simply because it isn't that big (10 flat throughout game isn't much) and won't put him over the top. But yeah a little more armor or MS would be much more appreciated and I do miss his old e range...and the instant cast :P

Riot will never listen to this kind of post, because moar damgs

it's honest to god fucking disgusting at this point.. it's their solution to everything. and people wonder why no one trusts riot to balance jack shit anymore.

Wouldnt more E range be real oppressive and OP at the same time? Especially for melee matchups rather than the ranged who wont really be affected at all?

I´d say more armor and health are needed rather than other stuff, possibly movespeed.

When I kill Darius as Riven it's either the level 2 W ignite cheese where I poke him down level 1, or it's lv 6 all ins where I poke him down again. Just pull Riven in during her 3rd Q animation.

Or or nerf and gut down all divers and Skirmishers that ruin top lane like Jax Riven plus deleting Vayne W for our own good

Ms should never be buffed in juggernauts.

They're buffing Darius's Q damage so that he can keep up with the other buffed early game top laners such as Renekton. Making lane bullies better also threatens the existence of ap top laners such as Ryze, Akali and Vladimir, without impacting their mid lane power.

Yah Darius damage isn't bad at all. The problem is in a team fight I have no chance of actually getting 5 stacks on someone when I die in .5 seconds.

LatetotheRace4/24/2019, 11:31:30 PM1 votes

Juggernauts > Bruisers. So Why the fuck are they beating him? Nerf the bruiser shits, and actually fix the problem.

They buff q dmg so they can slowly creep a bleed slow.
