Why no one pick Darius at pro scene?

Why on the earth no one pick him after Worlds? Is he that weak? What can be done with him to see him at pro scene again? I'm sick of the same things. The same question about .

It's not that he's weak, it's that his intended weakness is incredibly easy to play against at the pro level.

At Worlds the juggernauts were kinda broken, which is why you were kinda forced to pick or ban them or risk the loss.

Nothing. If they made I'm harder to kite he would be stupidly strong, so they would have to nerf some other aspect and it would be like he was never reworked in the first place. Not every champion has to be in pro play (and often it's better for mains if they aren't)

By the logic Ekko is allowed to be the most favorite champion of the community (Never low winrate-low popularity in common queue, always viable at proscene alongside with Fizz). I find it unfair. Now I see why a lot of people literally left from League season 6. (Completely stubborn meta with few "chosen ones" champions that never falls off favorite) They had all reasons.

I would love and give my left nut to see them revert the radius of his Q swing. I would play him all the time then. Now it's just a small spin to win and it just isn't as cool as the wide swing around.

Hell, you can delete his heal to compensate giving back his radius.

That's all I want.

That could be great but I believe they got their champs. Clear favoritism. Multiple roles for each of them, multiple builds through years and seasons, too fcking flexible and never useless. I'm sick of this shit.

There are tons of champions you don't see in the LCS, in fact most of the times they are the same.

Heimerdinger was never used in the LCS for example.

Who cares about this yordle. The manliest men like Garen, Illaoi and Darius are way better.

it's all about tastes, the thing about Heimerdinger is also, his weakness is stupidly easy to exploit to anyone that can tell his own head form his ass. LCS is mostly built around team compositions, they build around combos and covering each others weaknesses.

Also, i agree, Illaoi looks like a man, in fact, i thought it was a man until i read the lore use a "she"

You know may be Heimer doesn't exist as Darius at pro scene at least he's damn viable and reliable in common queue. Darius seem kinda fucked after all nerfs.

heimer can only do well in low elo where people don't know how easy its to kill his turrets and how useless he is without them.

Heimerdinger is ok against a champion if they lack any kind of ranged spell or AA, if they do have any of those, then heimer is dead weight

Copenhagen Wolves used Heimerdinger top

Loveling also played heim top

But some champions are allowed to stay god-tier state even during worlds and over years. Remember season 3-4 Rumble and Maokai

Primary ability is Q no kidding. Riven or Fiora easily dodge it with smashing keybord with their face.

Darius is immobile and has a relatively short pull range. Good players probably know how to just stay out of that range and kite him or get zoned so that it's very hard for him to accomplish anything good in most fights. He's just not as viable as too many other champions to make it.
