Darius has proven to have obvious counterplay in worlds, yet he has 2 more nerfs on PBE

Why exactly? He's been losing most games and in the games he wins he was nearly a non factor

Teams know that if they have champions that can kite easily then they will beat Darius

Game where Darius had to go against an Xpeke's Anivia he dealt less damage to champions than Alistar did

And to say that Darius is getting nerfs because of Solo queue, Vayne has the most absurd stats right now in high elo and she is getting pretty pathetic nerfs in comparison, Riven has better solo queue stats than he does and her changes on PBE were reverted already.

Darius is a hella overrated champion and you people need to see this already, there are champions that have way higher ban priority than him atm

^...this...^

Out of the 10 or 11 games this season where I laned as Kennen against Darius , with the exception of the very last one, each and every single one of them were matches where MY team won (you can verify this for yourself if you can filter it out in my match-history to just matches this season where the enemy team had Darius whilst I had Kennen ).

Leaving Darius unbanned in order to bait opponents into picking him O-P.

P.S.: This time you really Better Nerf Irelia Irelia. Been having to ban her a LOT. P.P.S.: For some reason a lane Shyvana with Skirmisher seems to be able to counter Fiora

counterplay in worlds =/= counterplay in solo queue

lulu is a massive ban worthy pick in high level play but pretty much ignored in solo queue, they're two different things.

Did you even read the rest of the post

If darius is being nerfed because of solo queue then Riven and Vayne need nerfs as hard if not harder because they are much bigger problems in solo queue at the moment

Vayne is picked in 40% of games and has a 52-53% win rate in high elo

riven isn't a problem in solo queue at all, rivens at like pre-diamond basically suck and I'm pretty sure you need like 100+ games on her to even break 50%+ win rate on her. vayne needs nerfs though, sure.

While I'm not really into referring to worlds as indicative of actual balance (small sample size alone makes it highly spurious), I do think Darius is okay right now. What's funny is most people haven't even seen him in game since his latest nerfs since he's still perma-banned.

Basically this

They're keeping him banned even though his last set of nerfs dropped him from 54 to 51% win rate
