@Riot Darius Noxian Might animation idea!

Most of Darius players, especially experienced ones, simply use Crippling Strike as an AA-cancelling doublehit, so they don't even see it's special walking animation. It would be great if Darius, affected by "Noxian Might" after getting 5 stacks on an enemy champion, would rather passively use this animation, violently and bloodthirsty "dragging" his axe after him until his passive wears off. A simple solution that doesn't require adding new animations http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h61fyJcBJ9k/UPVTWjE1RjI/AAAAAAAAOGs/msVi4BV99dw/s1600/darius.png

That animation always looked badass, but the potential clarity issue might be a problem. You wouldn't know if he's got a crippling strike ready or not at a glance :O

I would say a Darius with 5 stacks on you and his ~~rape~~ Dunk Face on presents a considerably larger issue to consider than whether or not he's coming for you with Crippling Strike.

you can still hear a very distinct sound when he primes his W.

I actually really like this idea, since as a Darius main I solely use it as an AA reset and rarely see the walking animation. It would also make it clearer to enemies when he has his passive unlocked and to stay away from him.
