How to make Darius less opressive melee and ok vs ranged
-
Give him a base movespeed of 350
-
Remove his attack speed slow on W to allow fightback from melee
-
make his bleed do physical damage ( note that this would not be a big deal with a black cleaver see talon, garen or wukong you will not see any darius build it).
-
Give him the 0.4 bonus ad ration on his bleed back.
-
Reduce the cooldown of his e to 16/14/12/10/8 seconds
-
make his ult fully reset again
there, Darius can't snowball as easily as before even against melee and make it harder to get the reset too since amor and hp counter him hard( randuins, sunfire) and have easier time vs ranged.
