New Darius thoughts (as a Darius main)

My thoughts. Hemorrhage: Stupidly OP that you can apply 5 stacks to champs. Damage and Speed nerfs are reasonable, and changing it to do physical dmg makes sense, seeing as it scales with AD. Q: Damage is pathetic, along with the cast time. The only reason Darius's q is good is because it does damage and is cast immediately. The heal and damage nerfs basically turns his q into utility, along with the rest of his kit, seeing as the damage on his w was nerfed too, making him insanely weak. W: Awful. E: OP AF R: Damage nerfed, but still really op at lvl 16. Creeps being terrified is useless. OVERALL: Please don't do this riot. Since his q becomes utility with the heals and damage nerfs, he basically has no damage source left, seeing as his ult, w, and passive all got dmg nerfs. He now has even less mobility, which was his biggest problem (now worse) with the lack of speed in passive. So basically hes boring, with lots of utility and slows, but no dmg, and no mobility, completely ruining the champion. He was meant as a lane bully, and should stay that way. Hes basically another support now. I fucking hate these changes and will probably stop playing Darius.

Q was changed from 105% AD to 140% AD, and he was given a 200 AD steroid as a passive. His damage isn't lower at all. Darius can still move during the cast time, so he can usually land his Q as long as he can keep up with his enemy

So I guess you want to build some attack speed, like item 3153 or item 3142 ?

To get the steroid more often and the slow is good?

The reasoning for the changes to Q and his passive is for a #WindowOfPower that he has to work towards to get and the enemy has to actually allow to happen more then not.

As to how he actaully is to deal with after the changes I have not faced him so I don't know but I am giving the reasoning behind the changes to some degree.

Currently, Darius takes very little effort and is extremely annoying to play against. He is oppressive and boring, changes like these are welcome.

i have no idea what you guys are t alking about. his new kit revolves around having 5 stacks, and when 5 stacks are up he is stupidly strong.

if you cant find a way to get 5 stacks on a target than you dont deserve to play dari to begin with.
