SEE!!! Darius is weak

Teslyn··3 votes·816 views

Stop banning him.. i would rather see Fiora and Skarner perma banned than Darius.

6 games today.. Darius Banned in 2 .. picked in the other 4.. went 1 and 3.. and it was sad at his performance on how easily he was locked down.

He is not the beast people thinks he is.

I am basically saying this so we (as a community) can highlight other champions that need fixing.

Jesus christ. Some people are stupid.

Darius is weak in coordinated team games. Because he is predictable and basically a heavy meat walking around SR who gets easily kited and controlled by pro players. He is strong in solo queue because people don't know how to kite him properly. And people don't know how to play vs Darius in lane since he has good early game damage with healing. Solo queue overall is just a massive cringe fest.

This is a big difference.

Early game isn't a problem. It's mid-late game that Darius gets hard to deal with. Gets pretty tanky and his short CD Q burst heals almost like spell vamp. This would be okay if he didn't have the capacity to burst you down in seconds. All the other sustain bruisers in the game don't have his level of damage or stickiness.

His sustain reminds me of when he built the old version of item 3104 that had armor penetration and spell vamp. Then Riot removed the item because it was making champions like Darius (mainly Darius really) broken. This is why it doesn't make sense to me that they would give him the same kind of sustain later (but stronger) and free since he doesn't have to build for it now.

it didn't do well because there's little to no experience with it in a LAN environment

this happens with nearly every champ that's overtuned because it doesn't change the fact that most players aren't used to playing with it

remember when people were like "this smite top is never gonna be good. why do people keep trying it?" before people actually learned how to play it?

what i am saying is Darius is an easily kited champion and a person has to just respect his power and then he has nothing left. So i still dont understand why the high ban rate.. Riot employees dont understand it either.. it just confuses me that this culture has chosen him to be the poster child of perma ban or pick champ now.

I think it's because no one wants to lane against him.

I'm sorry, but Pain against the Koo fighters played stupid as hell the first game when that dude picked Darius, anyone on this board could have probably owned him cause he mindlessly pushed too hard TWICE ALONE, when it was apparent Koo Tigers were staying together. So he got ganked and was behind because of that.
