Pls Riot Darius is too weak right now

All his AoE damage, the true damage and bleed damage in his kit... even all the free AD his kit provides him, with low CDs and low mana costs... all of the sustain and CC... Hell, even his CD resetting nuke of an ultimate... It just all feels super weak in the Rift. Please, help out Darius and dish out more damage for him, that's what he needs to be viable. If I can't half HP everyone with a Q and execute with a resetting R, I don't know what else to do... You know I need to keep dunking on the summoners of the Rift....

Shit is funny to me.

Dont worry, W ratio will be up by 10% in all ranks and E passive has 5% more armor pen. :)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention his PASSIVE armor penetration on top of everything else. It doesn't help him much. Far too weak.

Anymore base damage on bleed and Q base damage, will make casual players permaban Darius until he gets a hotfix, or buffs reverted. The free Armor Pent will make up for the damage. And have you ever use W? I'm guessing not because I'm guessing you're one of those Darius mains that don't use W during after E+Q combo. Also have you consider auto-attacking instead of waiting for CD on your abilites?

And what more do you want? Make Darius playable for worlds? I doubt in 99.99% of games for worlds, Darius gets pick. Pros know how to counterplay against Darius.

Actually no, it'd make more sense for riot to scale back on the W and E buffs and pump power into Q if anything because that's something DARIUS CAN ACTUALLY FUCKING MISS AND THE OPPONENTS CAN ACTIVELY FUCKING DODGE.

Riot seems to think Darius isn't used in LCS because of a lack of damage, not the fact that he can get melted and kited to oblivion. Adding more damage he can't apply will just make him stomp low elo harder without helping him at high elo.

he got mana cost ?

though that was a blue rage resource

The idea that darius doesn't have mana costs has been laughable ever since they introduced scaling mana cost on Q rank (it used to be flat 30 at all ranks btw).

The idea that you're complaining about his Q when the changes are going to further break tri force conquerer darius who only cares about AA's and W's to quickly stack up to noxian might to try and one shot people in a toxic manner is also laughable.

Overall, while I agree with the spirit of the post (riot is being stupid with the darius changes), I disagree with some of its nuances.
