@Riots about Darius

We still don't see him at competitive scene and this thing really proves that he lack some essential things in terms of strategy. People say how immobile he is and how good players manage to stop him from doing what he originally supposed to do.

Most of them are ok with Darius being just solo queue bully and simple noob trap. I... can't agree with that state. (Not to mention he's not even good in solo queue when you play at Plat1+. People actually learned how to deal with him. I have few high diamond-master-challenger guys in friendlist and when I asked them about the champ they called him pretty much "meh tier I wouldn't like to see in my team".)

Let this guy a chance to become legit pick at lcs by adding some better tools. Its been **5 years **already since his release date and I haven't seen single interesting strategy with this guy. I played so many game as Darius and I tried so many things but honestly he has no real cheesy benefits from synergy with other champions. For example Kayle MasterYi. They have pretty much unavoidable toolkits (Don't you dare to say "Just CC %championname". This isn't an advice) and we meet them from times to times at lcs matches (not that often for sure but still more than Darius/Garen). Judging by this episode you're not that worried about healthy and non-frustrating mechanics. So why not to let him some tools? Even 51% winrate Vayne got new opportunities at PBE.

Darius won't receive a buff he destroys everyone below d3 which is nearly almost every players

and that, riot can't allow that because you know they prefer cattering them instead of telling them to get good

No one even asked for buff hello!? He needs better tool not simple numbers buff.

Buff doesn't mean just better numbers. It means increase in strength.

I think you understood my point. Don't be like that please.

I mean someone did reach diamond with bot lane darius so clearly he isn't that weak.

still though darius his design isn't exactly fun since all it entails is stay out of range, not very fun.

You can't judge balance just by one person. I know few master Vayne players and so? She receives buffs/adjustment at PBE just because Rito decided she's being not as good as rest adcs. But kinda the same logic may be applied on Darius. He's trash compared to meta toplaners. Yeah I can already hear how you'll start complaining about how this impossible is to lane against Darius as melee. Sure. Few times sure.
