Conqueror change gutted him, you lose almost every single matchup. Coming from a Darius main in D3, dont play him.

Renekton Riven Jax Sion Yasuo Fiora Yorick exist, better options than him.

I just ran into an Ornn main who switched from maining Darius as well. Anyway, my experiences and what not.

Off to buy Riven for free chall, goodluck in ranked everyone

just broken on different champs now i think. But I like than minion aggro doesn't stack it, that's definitely for the best. I mean, they even nerfed urgot to the ground preemptively before the rune was even introduced.

Ok, so my champion was only alive because of a rune, Which is basically what I said. What are you adding here

Good. Fuck him having Conq up for the next 10-15 seconds if he hit you with almost anything.

And you were basically incapable of keeping him from stacking it because there's extremely few champions he doesn't zone as soon as he hits 2.

Um? Agreed? Old conqueror was kinda broken, still kept him alive though. Still, I went up against Riven with the new Conqueror, wasnt a pretty sight

Look I wasn't a big fan of previous conquerors either, but Darius does suck now. Even with conquerors he was barely 49-50% winrate before. Sure he could keep it stacked, but there were champs that benefitted a lot more efficiently from it.mostly because his ult gained nothing from the true damage conversion and his armor pen meant that the rest of his kit benefitted less than it otherwise would have. Now he's pretty much gutter trash

Oh no a champion who is either guaranteed a win or guaranteed a loss based solely on pick order was nerfed.

Maybe they'll actually take steps to make him balanced now.

He was balanced. Of most champs in the game, he actually has some of the best counterplay because literally almost any matchup can take advantage if they are good enough. Even Shen can win lane by playing smart against darius

That's simply not true. You may somehow manage to lose to champions he counters, but that isn't true for most players. You say "even Shen" as if Shen isn't a champion with the needed tools to counter Darius. he has a dash to get into the Q and can block autos to prevent stacking the passive. You either have that, like Shen/Jax/Panth, or you pick ranged and kite him but likely mess up your team comp.

There is no counterplay against him unless he was counterpicked. That's the issue. That's what makes for the enormous disparity between his counters and those who counter him. Either you have all the tools to completely shut him down, or he has all the tools to completely shut you down-- either with kills or through farm because he has that kill pressure no matter what. There's no in-between.

Let's hope he gets some serious compensation buffs.

His cheese strat with HoB ain't good no more? Insta 5-stack

Hail of blades. you auto once then W then auto twice then titanic (all this is in a very quick succession due to the 110% attspeed buff) and you got insta 5 stack

I have an idea.

Why don't you play champs you just enjoy playing for the sake of playing?

-signed, it's a video game.

Why tf do you think I still play a 48% wr champion that sucks in high elo. Could it be that he is my favourite champion 0o

It's not fun playing champs you enjoy (at least in ranked) when you know they are trash

If you relied on Darius's statchecking before, there's no way you'll be able to play Riven.
