Riot, even through i like Darius' changes overall, i don't understand why his W has been giving an ability that doesn't scale at all with levels. He doesn't gain damage with ranks, nor CD or slow. So basically it is useless to even put more that one point in it, which is clearly a design error (unless i'm missing something about this notes that indicates that W scales in some way or form).

Can you please give us some comment about it?

This needs to be a PSA at this point with how many threads there are on it

Darius W scales with level in terms of cooldown. Its just a patch notes error.

Its SUPPOSED to be: 8 at all ranks --> 9/8/7/6/5.

Also since you can no longer harass with his q because its so slow I recommend maxing E second anyways since it reduces the cooldown and gives armor pen which is much more useful than his w IMO.
