It doesn't matter if I say anything truthful on boards about Darius, I'll get downvoted to oblivion

Because I'm talking about Darius needing buffs.

Ill play along with boards which is 90% bronze/silver that he's the most overpowered champion in game and makes every champion that isn't ryze unviable vs him. He also should get his true damage removed and be replaced with physical damage that does peanut damage unless you have 4 AD items.

He is also the most mobile bruiser in game, again playing along with boards because his passive movespeed is broken and his pull makes him a god tier top lane.

And of course most of the bronze/silver trash on forums will agree with me here, Darius should have his damage gutted, his base stats reduced because having 2 more base armor makes him a god tier tank.

Cool story bro... go get my a latte.

OP used confusion, it's super effective!

Seriously though I can't tell if you're saying Darius is OP or UP. You say he needs buffs, then you say he's overpowered and list changes, then you say he's "the most mobile bruiser in game, again playing along with boards because his passive movespeed is broken and his pull makes him a god tier top lane". After that you collectively call the people on the forum trash and say they'll agree with you and you suggest he gets nerfed.

Here are some facts about Darius: He has the easiest kit to use in the game, the best AD ratios in the game, has an instant CD ultimate true damage nuke attack, a passive 30% AD bleed on every hit, a mass pull, a huge AoE that does 50% extra damage if you're in the last half of it, a slow that deals 100% AD as bonus damage on your next attack, said skill also has CD reduction per stack of bleed, passive 25% armor penetration, +5% Movement speed for every bleeding champion, 340 base movement speed, and gains huge armor, MR, and health per level naturally. Oh and the lowest skill level of any champion in League. It's a literal 0, look at it.

So yes, he's broken. He's a god in lane, and if he gets a kill then you might as well not go back top because he's going to get 3 more and take the tower anyway. And even if he doesn't get a kill in lane he's still going to rip everyone on your team a new asshole.

Things commonly heard when someone states Darius needs a buff:

"Oh but if he's stunned in a teamfight he's dead meat" No he's not. 1) The stun will probably last 1, maybe 1.5 seconds and then Darius will proceed to AoE your entire team, pull them back in, slow them with 100% bonus AD damage, bleed and AoE the shit out of them again, and the proceed to shit on their corpses by using his ulti on 4 different people because it has no cooldown. 2) 80% of the time you can avoid a stun if you play smart and aren't a dumbass. Sure some point-and-click stuns exist but most are skillshots or passive abilities. 3) THEN GET TENACITY BOOTS IF THAT'S A HUGE PROBLEM FOR YOU. JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE.

"Darius can be kited so easily, it's not fair" Dude look at your kit, YOU ARE NOT FAIR. Your kit is so simple and overpowered that if I went to the zoo and gave a gorilla my laptop he could play Darius on Silver and have a 60% win rate.

"Oh no a ranged champion, I can't touch that as Darius" BS. This is purely a lack of skill. Yes they're ranged and you're melee but what do you think your PULL and HUGE AOE are for??! I'm sick of hearing this one.

And the worst of them all: "Darius falls off late game omg Rito plz buff" Where do I even start... there is legitimately no basis to this argument other than you're a terrible player.

But do you know what the biggest issue with Darius is? It's his skill level and simplicity of his kit. Darius has a skill level of zero, zip, nada, nothing. This means that he's decent in the hands of a bad player but is an immortal god of dunking death in the hands of anyone with skill.

I would complicate his kit, switch it up in a way that nerfs his early game but buffs his late game at the same time. It's the only way to balance him.

Darius is really strong, he only has to half kill his enemy. Then he can just ult them. Consider the fact that Darius is one of the few champions in the game who at level 6 can 100-0 someone in his 1 combo.

Take other bruisers like say Riven for example, Darius can facetank all 3 Riven Qs, Stun, all 5 Runic Blade procs, and still live, if she ults it may depend on player builds and stuff but even then, if played right, he should live through ulting Riven combo + windslash.

Darius needs only to use his full combo on you once and he can kill you. He may not have that great of mobility, but he is one of the tankiest champions without items and he does massive damage, his E has a large amount of armor penetration making Last Whisper look like shit.

IsIsGankedParisNov 4, 20142 votes

jut because he has 2 more base armor doesn't make him one of the tankiest champions without items. Riven is better than him because she has mobility and is an early game bully who scales harder than Darius can even hope to. Darius face tanked everything of riven late game? Must have been a full armor tank Darius with 0 damage who couldn't even hurt the Riven.

uh. what?

IsIsGankedParisNov 4, 20141 votes

Uh what I'm saying is what's happening, look at my old threads about Darius, all of this is said by boards

YoellaNov 4, 20142 votes

I saw "Darius is the only bruiser in game with no tankiness or sustain in his kit." and left.

IsIsGankedParisNov 4, 20141 votes

name me a bruiser that is the same? look him up and do some research before you say "Jayce" or "Ryze"

YoellaNov 5, 20141 votes

Alright.

Malphite has no sustain. Malphite also has lower health per level, health regeneration both base and per level, movement speed, attack per level, and armor. That's just stats. His AD ratios are shit compared to Darius, has no pull or nuke, no bleed for 30% AD on every hit, his AoE is less than half as large as Darius's and deals less damage, and he has longer CDs.

Jax Jax has no sustain. Less health per level, significantly less health regen base and per level, armor, and armor per level. Not to mention the skills mentioned above (I wont type an essay for every champion)

And those are just the first two in a long list.

Other bruisers w/o sustain: Riven, Lee Sin, Jarvan IV, Nautilus, Wukong, Shyvana, Singed, Galio, Skarner, Nocturne, Nasus, Talon, Pantheon, Poppy, and Blitzcrank.

Jayce actually doesn't have sustain either.

Have you seen Darius's stats? http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Darius

look him up and do some research before you say

Absolutely anything.

I think you're trolling, or Darius just isn't the champion for you.

IsIsGankedParisNov 5, 20141 votes

I said tankiness OR sustain.

Malphite passive can be considered both along with his W active, Jax E blocks autos and his ult armor and mr can be considered tankiness/sustan, Nocturne passive is sustain, nasus passive and his ult is sustain, lee sin W spellvamp and lifesteal is sustain, J4 shield is sustain/tankiness along with his E passive, pantheon passive is sustain, poppy passive and her ult, nautilus is a tank but his W is tankiness/sustain, riven shield is tankiness/sustain, wukong passive, shyvana passive, singed passive/ult, galio W, Skarner W, talon isn't a bruiser, blitz isn't a bruiser but his passive is tankiness/sustain

I'm 90% sure I'm just feeding a troll right now. First of all:

Darius's secondary is TANK. HE GETS TANKY. Stop saying he doesn't. That's like saying Veigar has no source of AP. His primary is Fighter so he's not a true tank, but it depends on how you build him. Apparently you've been building him wrong for however you play.

Just.. Just read my top comment, it goes over everything in great detail. I take back what I said, I'm 100% sure you're trolling me right now.

poeple are retarded and this community is the WORST out of any other in the world Darius is retardly weak yet people think hes "fine" because they won against other retarded in bronze 2 once Fucking Pathetic.

Hmm... "Dunk is my life" and "Let Me Draven"... I suspect you are the same person, hello there. That would explain the sudden -2 to every post not in line with your own thinking that popped up two hours ago.. right when you posted and "Let Me Draven" posted a reply to me...

im not dunk is my life, I don't hve any smurfs and even if I did I wouldn't comment on my own thread

YoellaNov 5, 20141 votes

Cool story bro. Just two totally random dudes who comment in similar threads, speak the same way, are both very quick to insult everyone around them, have the difference in names equivalent of "Arcaneswrath" to "Arcanesfury", one is level 30 and the other is 13, and both are in NA, and they happen to both upvote and downvote the same posts. Definitely just a coincidence. But I digress, I do not care.

Darius will not get a straight-up buff no matter how many threads you spam about it (I've run into like 3 today and yesterday from you about this same topic) or how many smurfs you may or may not have to inflate your comments.

I am not against Darius, I am saying that he is broken and needs to be fixed. Weaken early game and give him some escape.

IsIsGankedParisNov 5, 20141 votes

? He's not broken early game, why make him a generic weaken early but better late, can we not have early game chmps anymore?

YoellaNov 5, 20141 votes

This will be my last comment barring some unnatural phenomenon.

He's very broken early game. Have you ever fought a Darius top? Or jungle ganked a Darius? That shit can be exceptionally hard to not die while trying to do.

Here let me give you an example. Darius starts with Q at level 1. At level 1 he has 50 AD without runes, items or masteries. So let's go on the lower side and say he has 70 AD at level 1. Darius has 70 + 70%AD that's 119 damage (+50% if further away) for 178.5 damage PLUS his passive bleed for 12 + 30% AD over 5 seconds for another 33 damage totaling 211.5 damage in a 425 unit area on a 9 second CD from level ONE from just ONE SINGLE ATTACK. Considering most Top champs start with about 400 health, that's over half gone in just one easy to land attack at level one. Oh and the attack is multi-target. Hit them with an auto attack too and stack another bleed on there. Reach level 2? Get W so you can deal bonus damage and slow both movement and attack speed for 2 seconds. And that's gonna bleed too. You see? By level 1 Darius can already nearly kill someone, and by level 2 he's more than capable. That's not a strong early game, that's a broken one.
