RIOT...DARIUS... REALLY??...

Catsoop II··3 votes·1,052 views

Ok so SOME might argue (and I say some because it will be the group that mains him/plays him alot) but Darius is completely ridiculous. When you balance a champion out in my opinion the basic idea of the champion CANT be; So lets make this champion.. Lets make him SUPER tanky.. BUT lets ALSO give him TONNS of damage! We want to make him impossible to kill (exp. Lvl 12 Darius 1/4 health VS Lvl 12 Wu Full health - E, AA. Ulti, AA, Q AA, AA ,AA ,AA under turret. Wu dies, Darius lives. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SERIOUS??????????) , but also just disintegrate any one who apposes him. (See WHAT THE HELL EXP.)

Ok OK so I know Im being salty.. But I CANT be the only one who feels this way?? If you dont counter Darius then you loose.. Simple as that. And even if you do counter him he can still snatch you up and one shot you from lvl 3.. I just dont see this logic.. Riots sitting there nerfing the hell outa champs that dont need it but leaving stuff like this in the game.. I do NOT agree Riot.. PLEASE FIX DARIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know what everyone else things and maybe some LoL experts a few tips that can help til this PROBLEM is resolved! c:

Darius isn't super tanky. Who do you think he is, Garen? Legitimately, look at his kit. Darius has no free tank stats or steroids (unlike, say, Wukong). His kit is pure damage or ways of applying that damage.

He's a huge lane bully, and surely does counter Wukong. Don't try to fight him early on. Play as safe as possible with Wukong and build defense first to survive lane. Ask for a gank. Be a much more powerful presence in team fights. If your team is also losing it sucks, and you will probably lose, but that's the nature of a counter.

Wukong is considerably stronger, as a champion, than Darius is. He's one of the best top laners in the game.

Obviously Wukong is only stronger in teamfights because he provides better CC and free ArmPen.

I'd problem mention here than building lots of health with some armor is better than building lots of armor over little health when fighting Darius. The reason why he does so much damage is because his ultimate is true damage. The way you counter that is by getting more health. True damage ignores armor.

So you're complaining that a lane bully with a mediocre late game is beating you early? On a completely unrelated note how do you feel about Renekton?

Renekton is worse though... He does zero damage compared to Darius come mid to late game. With his only strength being that he can dashin stun dash out and heal epic amounts in lane. Darius will delete your carries if they aren't careful.

I feel like you're really down playing Renektons damage, he's actually really bursty if the person playing him knows what they're doing.

Also your carries could make a sandwich before Darius reaches them, not really sure they need to be careful unless he summoner 12 +item 1329 +item 3800 in, Darius is crazy slow.

Darius has next to no sustain

The 1 thing you can't do against darius is get smacked by the rim of his Q like 20 times. You either all in inside of his inner Q or sit back. Watch which way the lane is pushing, watch your power spikes, and watch for bleed stacks

Darius is punishing but he's not impossible to outtrade

And if all else fails just wait 15 minutes for him to become worthless

Not to mention hes a lane bully with no mobility that is likely shoving lane, so have the jungler come and gank pre 6, outscale him and then make him useless for the rest of the game.

Well he has weaknesses like low mobility so if you get ahead he is screwed and if he doesn't kill you can you manage to get close enough to his cs you will out scale him cause she scales like crap

Outscaling him would be the plan.. But like I said hes ridiculous, he'll just deny you of any farm at all and wreck you forcing you to back so you not only dont get cs but miss exp, and a few 1 or 2 backs and theres no doubt he;ll one shot you. I remember when I 1st played him.. I won like 7 gams in a row, just DOMINATED them. Just too easy to snatch em up. They play safe for a while but they start getting tired of missing cs so they put them selves in range and boop. dead. haha

Darius only needs one nerf, and that is to make his E stop with the weird hooks where flashing out of them wont work.

But that is less of a direct nerf, and more of a bugfix.

It's not a bug, that's how all cone abilities work.

The spell marks all enemies that are in the hitbox, and after x time it applies the effect.

Cho, Morde, Rumble, Corki work in the same way.

darius doesnt have much sustain even with the really good base hp regen he also has to build tank items to become tanky he has no mobility and will probably will shove the wave
