What if Darius...

...Hemorrhage dealt physical damage

Additionally, Darius gains 5% movement Speed and 5% tenacity per Hemorrhage stack on enemy champions, stacking up 5 times.

So you want to reward an enemy player for taking damage? What does that accomplish? Other than making Darius have to pop ghost and dive tower to dunk a 5 stack opponent?

I think that would make Darius the most frustrating champ in the game to play, because everyone would always be getting away.

Not only that, but imagine in a teamfight where the opposing team wants to dis-engage (not a hard thing to imagine with Darius in the line-up) You just gave the enemy team a huge bonus to their dis-engage.

Darius already helps his team lose because he dunks too much, now you want his dunking to help his team lose harder?

....I don't think you read the OP properly

Maybe not, it appears, that OP wants to give the hemmoraged enemy 5% Movespeed/Tenacity.

What the fuck?

I'm going to edit that so it causes less confusion.

You didn't understand what I meant.

I meant that when Darius applies Hemorrhage on an enemy champion, Darius gains 5% Movement Speed and Tenacity, stacking up 5 times.

Also, the fact that it would deal Physical damage would make Darius a lot easier to play against in a way. The fact that his kit deals All 3 types of damage forces the enemies to stack up all 3 defensive options. Armor, HP and MR.

However, a Late game Darius would be A LOT more deadly as his E %Armor Pen would allow his Passive to deal a lot more DoT damage than what it currently does.

Especially if you combine it with a Regular Brutallizer item or even the Almight Last Whisper if you get ahead enough.

It would make Darius a lot stronger in the late game because of his DoT damage while allowing his enemies to stack only 2 types of defence against him. Tho it doesn't really matter all that much because his E passive is amazing and it goes by unnoticed a lot of times.

I am Darius player btw.

I believe the reason that Riot won't let hemorrhage do physical damage is because he would buy black cleaver and on top of his E armor pen it would make counterbuilding him worthless because of all his armor shred. Also all he has to do is land 1 Q in a teamfight and one hemorrhage stack would get the full 25% armor reduction of Black Cleaver because each tick would apply the black cleaver reduction.

As for the movement speed and tenacity that would need testing to see how that affected him because free tenacity is a lot so I wouldn't mind if they put that on the PBE.
