darius is alittle weak but it is because of the tank meta darius is in a wierd spot were he wants to fight squishies but can't team fight well due to low mobility they put alot of his power in passive and ult which without your passive online you cant kill people effectivly so you wont be a threat till it is but then u just get chain ccd by tanks and squish kill you

Several thousand true damage in dunks in less than ten seconds if played right?

Because he is one of the few champions in the game who teaches you how to manage your minion waves, and not overextend like a retard.

Reason why he's "weak" is cause of dumb rune pages.

People still doing dumb damage rune pages when he's suppose to be tanky and stack his passive and out survive teams.

Undying/aftershock+precision tree is the best tree. But because of that dumb fervor of battle page people still trying to force darius as an assassin damage dealer when he's bread and build as a tanky one.

Darius is fine as he is, but I know he'll get buffed due to people not knowing how to even use him so I'll be fine regardless.

Absolute trash response.

A champion doesn't fall from ~50% wr 8-9% pr to ~46% wr 6% pr in PLATINUM+ KOREA because "muh darius players are just running the wrong shit duh"

Preseason runes have been out for quite a long time and it's pretty telling what is good and bad, and darius is just bad.

Truenoxianmight (you probably know him as 5 stacks gg), dystrex, Detris, Apex, dyrus... All of these darius players (well dyrus doesnt even bother with darius anymore) are proclaiming how fucking trash darius is, and here you are, high and mighty, proclaiming that they just dont know how to build darius.

Yea because hecarim wasn't garbage when people kept taking warrior instead of cinderhulk and crying about how bad hecarim was right?

People don't know how to build, regardless of the BS trying to be spouted. They think going a damage page makes darius better when all it does is make him squishy as fk and useless. THEY DONT KNOW THE DAM CHAMP. Enough of the bullshxt, when they start using him correctly and still say as such then I'd be convinced but as of the moment people are using trash press the attack, electrocute, fleetfoot and all sorts of garbage. Not convincing that darius is bad at all.

All caught up in trying to fanboy, you disregard that the most frequent used things are garbage compared to what's been tried and tested long before fervor became a thing. So once again, if they were to consistently use the correct pages then I would agree but I know it's crap being spouted currently because darius is still being built wrong.

You are seriously dense if you think we haven't tested out grasp by now.

Take grasp and your level 6 ultimate literally does around 260-270 dmg at max stacks it's pathetic.

Yea all this testing and yet second wind isn't even referred to when darius is in the picture. Everyone taking trash overgrowth.

All this testing and yet press the attack and electrocute are still the most used keystone forcefully bringing down win rate to trash levels. Hell I'd even be happier to see phase rush than those crap keystones for darius.

And people aren't even trying aftershock because they lost focus on actually stacking their passive but yet you think you're "testing" anything. Ain't doing nothing but complaining before actually bringing the best runes consistently before actually complaining. Only thing I could agree with is as someone else said darius' ulti should have scaled off total AD since he's a juggernaut not an assassin, that's the only thing that is agreeable with. But he's far from trash until people actually realize the only real combinations on him.

And before you start saying something about darius only has E to trigger aftershock, that's the same way with colossus. Lastly before noting that it doesn't grant a shield I also had qualms with that but the tankiness granted allows for his kit to still function and get 5 stacks or clutch Qs for healing with the sheer amount of resistances he gains.

So like I said they take trash crap, it's bringing down the win rate. If grasp/aftershock were the top picks and he was still "weak" I could fully agree but noone remotely tested anything.
