Darius passive should be tweaked

Oakleaf Ranger··1 votes·791 views

Darius passive is a iconic part of his kit. But I would say it has also aged poorly. His reliance on gaining a 5th stack on someone to access his full offensive power is just way too exploitable for a champion with no mobility or ranged CC.

Darius used to be known for the champion who could turn 2v1's but the power creep of CC and mobility has led to state where Darius is almost always kited and killed without a realistic shot to access the power he needs to stand a chance in a 2v1 unless the enemy screws up.

Instead of gaining all of his bonus AD from his passive on the fifth stack, Darius should slightly built up to it with each stack but still have a large amount of that bonus AD locked behind the 5th stack. That way Darius is still a threat to someone approaching him after another person disengaged him and can't just rush him and finish the job without caution since the new person has no stacks. A fair trade off for the only juggernaut without ranged CC and mobility.

This just makes his already strong laning even stronger. Any amount of gradually gained AD is still AD gained, and greatly enhances his other abilities which already have high scaling.

This would absolutely ruin any immobile laner even thinking about trading with him. He really doesn't need buffs right now, but even if he did Apprehend range/Decimate blade width would be the ways to go. Increase reliability rather than just more stats.

Just buy a damn item 3800 or a item 3742

Hell, buy both.
