For those of you complaining about darius

I do understand you, but you are also kind of wrong. besides the bug, darius (discounting new items) is arguably in a weaker state than pre rework at the moment, at least for the max levels of play. heck, his winrate is 44.8% in plat+ atm.

He's a pubstomper, and a good one at that. His laning is far worse than it was before, and his teamfight is buffed, especially lategame. People also dont seem to want to dodge his q bleed by simply moving near him, which robs him of his precious bleed and a ton of damage.

He has less bleed damage, and the fact that it's physical now makes itemizing against darius WAAAY easier.

His attack speed is horrid now, which makes it difficult to actually get the new passive if the enemy isnt being stupid. as well as deal damage should the enemy dodge his q

and that q delay is horrid, and people should frankly be able to Dodge that faaar easier than they do, especially the "blade" part of it

the attack speed slow is also removed from his w, which makes the former point about his horrid AS a good bit worse against auto attack based champions

His ult also does less damage overall, thougth yes, in team fights you can get it to max stacks a good part quicker.

all in all i believe he frankly isnt that op like you people are making him out to be.

I am happy to see people complaining about some new champs. Not because I enjoy anyone's frustration but because I like to see that there are some different picks top lane that are giving players a tough time. Now when I get into games it's not just a complaint about a Teemo/riven/irelia/mao/Rumble matchup. There are new threats and thank god for that. The day I stop seeing complaints on the boards for a laner is the day you know they probably aren't a threat anymore.

champion.gg hasn't been updated in over a week. That winrate is still mainly from before his hotfix buffs.

You can't possibly win lane against darius as an AA champ. If you allow him to get 5 stacks on you, you're a dead man.
