@Meddler: Could you not do hotfix buffs anymore, please?

You admitted about two or so weeks ago that you guys probably jumped the gun with how much you buffed Fiora and that she was potentially overpowered now. Did she have weaknesses? Yes, she was a bit undertuned, but I think a lot of people forgot that her entire playstyle had just changed. Of course her win rate was going to tank after her update, people were still building her for attack speed at that time!

That was all well and good, but now you've gone and made the exact same mistake with Darius. Barely a week after his rework, while people were still struggling to figure him out, you had his Q mega buffed. Now his win rate's shot up to 53% at a point where people are still only learning how to use him. I can almost guarantee his win rate will only increase over the next few weeks.

Just like I said, shut the fuck up about buffing Darius when no one knows how to play him yet... Now, here you have it.

To be fair, the Darius update was really simple mechanically. I played Darius a lot before the update and the only thing I had to get used to was the delay on his Q. Everything else is basically the same. Yes, there are a lot of changes to him, but none of those changes actually change the way you actually play. I hope you get what I am saying because I feel like I didn't word it right.

In regerds to flash i agree. But now, you cant even pull in ANYONE who is in mid animation e.g. Riven Fiora Renekton of their escape save Leblanc and the likes of. They really need to fix that tho.

If youre close enough for darius to pull you, then damnit you deserve to be pulled. And also, this helps fight the rampant mobility we see nowadays in league

The Q damage isn't what pisses me off, it's the heal. Before he was gank bait because he had no way to escape or survive one, now his Q's health return makes him much harder to deal with. Darius needed work, but giving him sustain was not the solution.

Right now my favorite champion Nasus is unplayable because people are picking Darius every game and ganks, my only saving grace, aren't as effective against him as they used to be.

Wait, you can't gank him anymore either?
