Not much to say here, but:

>Riven, Darius, Camille All are bruisers struggling in the new ecosystem,** in particular because attack speed's not so valuable on them** so Precision keystones are less applicable. Possible other candidates should also be considered here, also possible there's a missing rune needed to support some of these champs. Or that buffing them in general and letting them pick from a wider range of runes is the better call.

Attack speed is actually important on Darius, especially lategame. He needs the stacks.

Darius with anymore tools to make him kill more is a bad idea. Also, precision is a good tree when they use other keystones besides Lethal Tempo. Press the attack is great because of the damage buff, and the other one is workable if only for the movement speed buff.

I agree that they are struggling more so than many other champions but buffing them directly could significantly over tune them. Darius specifically is a nightmare when in a good spot because he has so much free things in his kit. Sustain, CC, gap closer, true damage, a hefty DOT and built in armor pen. So buffing his kit to compensate for a lack of a quality rune fit is a terrible idea. It would be awful once they release an actual rune change that in turn buffs these kinds of champions.
