Zero cost? ZERO?

And who thought this was a good idea?

If Kassadin has to pay mana for repeated uses at max rank, then why is Darius an exception?

His ult deals true damage. How does that justify no mana?

It deals damage and only damage. It can only be recast if Darius kills the target with the ability itself.

kassadin's ult is a mobility spell that can be used to: Dodge a skillshot Disengage initiate a fight intercept a skillshot

It can be recast provided kass has the mana pool remaining to do so.

Keep in mind that his W does replenish mana, and with the mana cost reductions, it is actually possible to rift walk>W the enemy champion>riftwalk>W the enemy champion.

The highest cost per riftwalk now is 800. W restores 20% of his maximum mana when used against a champion (scaling up to 40% max mana at rank 5), meaning you'd need a maximum mana pool of 4000, (or 2000 if you've leveled W up) to stick infinitely to a target.

And that target cannot simply just "flash away" because you have potentially infinite flashes to stick to them.

That being said, Darius ultimate and kassadin ultimates are completely different spells, and the justifications for the ult changes are probably for similar reasons as to why Shen, Kayle and Zed don't have any costs to their ultimates beyond cooldown restrictions.

Eh, touche, I felt a bit miffed especially since kass got nerfed a bit harshly (I don't play him, but... gotta feel for him).

I just don't think it's a good idea, nonetheless. Spamming an true damage ultimate with no cost during a teamfight could be a bit unbalanced (I mean, he has to kill, but still...). He should at least be capable of running out of mana in a teamfight. Vi can't ult if she has no mana (rarely happens, but still). I mean, I thought they were trying to standardize mana costs of ultimates lately, with Sona as the latest example.

Implying this is going to cause him to become op again

This nigga still cant catch someone, and has zero tank stats.

He NEEDS this change, REALLY badly.

Right now he is a lane bully who transitions into a teamfighter, but has no presence in said lategame teamfights

"Teamfighter" is a weird way to say kill stealer.

"kill stealer" is a term only used in bronze V

and that is a FACT

Never seen it in gold, unless the support gets 3 kills one after the other with spells.

TotalJerk1 votes

I can't help but notice that your entire post history is cheering about the Darius buffs and blatantly insulting people who complain about the Darius buffs. I look at you on lolking, and wouldn't ya know it, your most played champion is Darius.

I know he's your husbando and everything, but learn to take a joke. I'm not complaining about him being OP, I'm noting that he isn't particularly valuable in teamfights and his playstyle requires him to steal kill gold from carries to be effective.

Oh God why I guess people forgot when Darius first came out... Oh well those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Sammystorm2 votes

darius was only good until people realized that kennen and jayce destroyed him. Other then that he was never seen again. Remember when Dyrus played darius into jayce at the season 2 worlds and was a huge reason why they lost? Yeah me too.

Meep Man5 votes

I love this!

Also, I dont see why this is too much of a huge deal, Darius isnt exactly known for destroying late game unless he is fed.

Chaotic Reks5 votes

JJ H0G5 votes

Honestly, this won't be too bad. He only gets a buff to his already weak late game and a cost reduction during mid. If a Darius is managing to slaughter you late game, you really are doing something wrong.

A Full Reset, Zero Cost, True Damage Nuke....... He's gonna be the ultimate clean up guy. Even if your team wins the team fight, Darius is just gonna chain ult everyone to death one by one...

Most toxic? Do you even fucking play league of legends? His ult is just a instant true damage ult that needs him to AA you or use his Q to stack damage. It is like irelia W , but more damage , less dps, and no sustain

ScreamPaste1 votes

Yes, I play League of Legends and have since season 1.

the only ult in the game I can think of that's more toxic than Darius' with the reset is frigging Poppy's. I sincerely hope this shit on the PBE is an early April Fool's joke.

There is a lot of toxic ultimates, and Darius one for sure is not one of them. Yasuo , Riven and some other have more toxic ultimates for sure.

ScreamPaste1 votes

Now I have to ask if you play league, lol. You can actually itemize against those ultimates, and Yasuo's requires team synergy to be used frequently. While his ult is a little problematic since it, and here are my problems with Yasuo's ultimate, makes him untargetable /and/ gives him bonus armour pen for some weird frigging reason, but it is not 'toxic', at least nowhere close to the extent of Darius'. (wtf is the problem with Riven's? It has a damage cap and, you know, armour works. It's not toxic at all. Strong yes, but strong isn't 'toxic'.)

Darius ult makes him:

Unfun to have on your team. Unfun to have on the enemy team. Frustrating for everyone in the game except the Darius player.

Did you even play when Darius was released? It was hell. Every other game had some obnoxious dudebro getting three pentas, wondering why his team was underfed, and yelling at them in /all when they lost because he couldn't carry.

It was hell, and I do NOT want to go back to that.

No innate tankiness, sustain , doesn't scale well He is not irelia man.

PrinceArchie1 votes

He can build tanky, he is innately strong so you only need one damage item (similar to Irelia ironically). The items he can build for tank or damage he can also build for sustain (Warmogs, Hydra) and he doesnt have to be a late game hy[er carry to be a team fighting monster with this change. It's all dependent on the comp, and if the entire other team is low enough he now has the legitimate ability to execute them all one by one which is huge.
