This may sound weird but shouldn't Darius be more of an over time kill than a burst heavy?

His passive is lliterally him cutting open arteries and veins to make you bleed out to weaken you before he executes you, would it not make sense to make his kit less burst reliant and more reliant on doing less burst initial but if they keep fighting you for an extended time period he would deal massive amounts of damage as a form of punishment?

Think of it this way, if you were fighting somebody and they knew how to aim specifically for your veins and other blood vessels and cut them open, would you not over time be far weaker, less able to fight, and at the mercy of your opponent?

If he had a rework his bleed could have higher stacks, his bleed would slowly debuff his opponent with more stacks on them and dealing more damage, and his ultimate would be there as a way to secure a dying foe.

Thoughts?

Please no this is a toxic idea or he doesn't need this to function, boards obviously agrees his current kit is bad in a feast or famine type.

His bleed used to be stronger, and by god that shit was OP as fuck. Darius would hit you with one auto and Q and run away while bleed did half your health.

His bleed ratio went from .4 bonus ad to .3

I do not understand how that took half your health?

For Darius? I think he should both. On one hand, yeah bleeding his opponent to death is kinda his thing. Riot did specifically point out how he is more strategic and surgical than Sion.

On the other hand...look at that axe. Maybe if he wielded a scythe I can see it working out. But there should always be power in an axe. Unless it's a little tomahawk.

That's where his dunk comes in and how he specifically strikes his enemies blood vessels, he needs a bigger tool to do it in the heat of battle

Was an exaggeration, it wasn't his bleed only, I meant in total. When you traded with the other top laner, his level 2 auto W Q did like 60% of your hp.

the .4 to .3 is per stack, and 3 hits meant 3 stacks, which is another .3. Darius could often get maybe a fourth auto off too due to his movespeed bonus from bleed. So that's another .4 ontop of what it is now.
