yes, because darius wasnt sitting at 40% winrate right after his rework....

the darius mains were right, because riot had to massively hotfix buff him afterwards to get him into a good spot. i guess maybe THATS when they thought he was all right? weird, isnt it?

He was terrrible on release. Then he got hotfix buffs that made him OP.

what happened? well he was buffed SIGNIFICANTLY and had a ton of bug fixes, so now he is actually in an ok spot.

I still QQ about it. I enjoyed the old Darius because you win any average top lane match up. New Darius doesn't always "win" the lane but usually just outsustains like cancer Renekton used to.

You mean when he had a ~40% winrate on release in 5.16? Because yeah, Darius was pretty bad then. Just because he got roided out beyond belief in 5.17 doesn't mean his rework was never bad.

Because numbers aside, just looking at the effects in his kit pre and post rework, he lost a lot for that heal on Q. Q got a delay. W was changed to a strong short slow. W lost attack speed slow. E lost it's retarded bug that made it stronger than intended. R lost it's mana refund, though subsequent dunks lost their mana cost.

i don't know who complained about this, as a darius main the delay was a good idea, but it has brought no balance since the range is too high.
