Can we please nerf Darius so fighting him late game doesn't feel like taking down a raid boss?

I'd be fine with it taking my entire team a full 8 seconds of focus just to kill him, if not for the part where he also has four other team mates to worry about, and he's still capable of guaranteeing a kill on any squishy champion he gets in range of.

This is really dumb. One quick fix is to gut his self-healing, which is way too high, and force him to rely on Grasp; in his current state, he basically has the damage of a full tank and burst that's way too high in comparison to other juggernauts.

"gut"

1 sign that shows you are pissed.

"way too high" well its high if you decide to stand in the healing zone with 2 other people which gives him 36% health back

YEAH THATS PRETTY HIGH

"force him to rely on grasp" thats retarded

honestly, you need to come up with actual points at why he should get his heal gutted

Sorry, do you not see a problem with a champion who can already basically gib any squishy restoring ~1.2k health every 3 seconds, on top of Grasp?

'Haha, yes, I have insane damage and a mini-Mundo ult on a 3 second cooldown if you try to stop me from barreling into your carries at 500 MS. This is fine.'

The trick is, he can only heal 1.2K if your team is stupid enough to stand near him. You don't fight Darius face to face, that's all, deal with it. Darius doesn't need a nerf, that's the same deal with all Juggernauts. You don't fight Nasus head on either, you don't stay in the middle of Illaoi's Tentacle, you don't let Morde hit his 3rd Q, etc., etc.

But being a raid boss is the late game fantasy for juggernauts and tanks.

Honestly, sion has pretty damn decent damage late game to take down a squishy. Landing it in the first place is usually the issue.

Other tanks dont have a snowballs chance in hell

Sion, Poppy, Zac, and occasionally Sejuani have some decent damage late, but probably only because they have ways to damage the carries while preventing them from fighting back and procing their lifesteal.

It's pretty unreliable though and really only works if the carry is really out of position.

Mate, Raid Boss Darius is the ideal state that he should be in. Noxian war leader, ruthless, sadistic and villainous He shouldn't be easy to kill.

I dunno, can you learn how to play against him instead of whining?

Being a raid boss is like the entire definition of the Juggernaut class. [zombie-brand-clap]

The only problems are :

synergy between blood stacks and black cleaver is way too high, one autoattack is enough to get 6 BC stacks, that's stupid af.
noxian might (passive) gives a slightly too strong edge. Like he basically wins if he gets 5 stacks. Well he might have a hard time doing that because our precious adc overlords kill him in milliseconds, but if they ever get balanced, Darius won't be.

DeathBurstNov 7, 20162 votes

It's enough to get 6 stacks after 6 seconds of fighting. If you are still fighting a guy with BC after 6 seconds, you'll always have 6 stacks... I don't understand what you're complaining about.
Just getting 5 stacks of passive isn't enough to kill a Tank, and that's the only person that should get near a Darius anyway. If other champs are stupid enough to get in range, they obviously don't use their head, so they might as well get dunked.
