Why did they buff Darius?

Just wondering what the reasoning behind it, he was fine before. Despite what people would like to trick you into believing, Darius was unhealthily abusing Phase Rush/Celerity and still is, there are just more options now.

I feel so stressed out by the lack of a proper explanation even now for why he was made into the overtuned creature he is now, why nothing is addressing it despite his banrate for all the patches since.

He is GARBAGE vs good players. Even his mains cry out how frustrating he is outside lane phase. And his OPE OPE KAPPACHINO 'cancer meme inserted' lane phase is negliable considering most fighters can shit on him and post lane phase he is a walking meat stick for the enemy adc to oneshot.

He was strong as fuck before everything got % HP dmg and adcs kill everything in 3 autos at 20 mins.

Don't spout bs because you can't deal with a melee champion. Go play adc and see if Darius is even worth spitting at. And this comes from an ex high diamond darius onetrick with 60%+ winrate and still to this day i got 75% on him and i never pick him.

Ask why Janna hasn't been nerfed properly.

High Elo sadly don't listen to statistics and are pretty much nothing but trolls.

They will threaten and harass you for even disagreeing with them.

They do not show any respect to anyone and only care about themselves.

Darius is at a 50% win rate with a 9% pick rate. http://na.op.gg/champion/darius/statistics/top

I remember Darius use to kinda suck when they nerfed his passive and once Fervor was gone he was pretty weak late and mid game.

He got buffs because he doesn't scale well into the game and he needs to be more oppressive in lane phase to compensate. Darius never really had a good rune until Conqueror came out which I think is very good with him since he established dominance in lane fairly well and thar rune helps him secure it.

So.... he is oppressive in lane but so many top laners can out scale him and outplay him and not to mention once the cc and jungle gank come Darius is always toast. He has no escapes or gap closers outside sums.

I main Nasus and I can usually beat him now with patience and by starting dorans ring and going 3 points into E. He over extends and I always zone him, poke him with E and wait for jungle. He's pretty easy to set up ganks for.
