Darius needs similar changes to PBE Yasuo

Ahristocats··4 votes·501 views

Yasuo is broken in low elo because they can't proc his shield to abuse his low base stats, while in high elo once his shield is down he will get bullied so hard So riot decided to nerf his shield and buff his base stats

Darius is just similar, in low elo his Q won't be dodged by mobile champions while in high elo they will do it and just destroy him

Decimate needs a damage/healing nerf on the blade, and a damage buff+smaller healing on the handle

So bad Darius players are rewarded for not landing their Q correctly?

Nice one, lmao. All this would do is remove the counterplay of getting inside his Q when he casts it. Honestly, I'd rather have something like more base/scaling attack speed and less AD from Passive. This way, low elo players won't get shit on as hard from the 30 Bonus AD at lvl 1, but good Darius players will have more opportunity to do stuff with his Passive by having a bit easier time to proc it.

how is that a reward when Q will still deal more damage/heal more on the blade?

Darius seems pretty weak atm Just reverting the handle nerf from a while back and not touching the blade would be fine

And then you run out of mana, and he stands there with 250 hp farming to full.

Yasuo is made to 1v1, which is why only midlane Yasuo is the problem. Toplane has 1v1 potential as lane requirement.

Which is why he has a positive winrate. Will be even better once they nerf item 3147.

Not top lane.

No healing on handle

That's terrifying.

Plus if Darius is strong since people are bad, that's fine. Skill isn't a requirement to balance. He's got fine counterplay.

I agree Darius does need some form of buff. I stopped one tricking him ever since I hit mid plat since even there his "Juggernaut" status doesn't exactly hold up when so many top laners can abuse his kit. Not only this but the idea of a Juggernaut is an immobile melee champ who as soon as he gets on top of you, you're fucked. It isn't exactly the case when late game even with Titanic Hydra/Thornmail I can hook a Jinx but I'll still die because she AA's me, out lifesteals my damage and to top it all off the heals/shields from her support. I just hate how if no one on my team can touch the ADC in teamfights, I have to waste time stacking on the enemy front line, then at 5 stacks Flash -> Q -> AA -> R on the ADC and PRAY I'm fast enough before they Flash/Heal away. In the meantime I do that the enemy ADC is just getting free damage off for 3-6 seconds. I should be rewarded for getting to the backline early, not having to wait then pray I get them. It's a shame Darius is held down by low elo that doesn't understand how his kit works and shouts OP OP OP OP OP. There's a reason why there are no Darius one tricks in Challenger.
