Looking into the new keystone/rune as a diamond Darius main.
For the love of Draven do not overtune a new bruiser keystone for the sake of making us Bruiser players strong again. I as a Darius player DO NOT WANT to further promote the powercreep in the game by getting like 200+ bonus dmg and extra true dmg. I mean SURE i wanna have a viable main so i can climb back to decent elo and not be mid diamond but not by playing Trinity steraks (conqueror)new mastery and doing 1000+ dmg W procs to an adc for it. (even tho that shitty role does the same and from range)
In my oppinion bringing back fervor the ACTUAL fervor is a really good choice instead of expirementing with such a hard to baalnce keystone.
Also this keystone will 100% break low elo and you are going to either...
1:Gut it 2:Remove it 3:Gut abusers/champs that synergise .
I already have 2-3 strong abusers of it in my mind and considering you listen A LOT to low tier players for no reason imo i do not want this to be the reason my Darius gets nerfbatted into oblivion. Spending the entire preaseason without my champ was already boring i dont want another year of him beeing shafted or made harder to use with gimpy changes..( looking at you Zoe/Graves/Ornn ).
Do proper balancing on this keystone we do NOT need further powercreep instead try to TONE DOWN the top of the food chain champions with small tweaks and see where it goes.
I'm open to discussion about it both to Darius cause it looks it's gonna synergise INSANELY well with him and bruisers in general.

PBE UPDATE: LVL 18 DARIUS. With MY build.
build. You accumilate a total of 579 ad.
I can see this as to a dumb adc beeing hit for aproximatly 2K+ dmg from a W-R/P: ticks exactly a total off : 940 W 1113 R passive to bored and sleepy to count.. TO AN 100 ARMOR TARGET aka the base ad with tabis atm at 18 aproximatly.
Also the rune doesnt seem that overpowered due to the stacking nature it has i can see it beeing further increased into 5 seconds but it might be a bit much because you WILL get oneshotted in 5 seconds easily atm . This is with MY BUILD.
Now we the average tanky Darius build
You moved to 479 ad ( a big difference but you are also pretty unkillable like this if they are not all at 6 items ) and the combo does around 2k dmg. W:514 R:1005 specificly 1970 dmg to an 100 armor target with a FLASH W/R/P:ticks. 361 W 1005 R and i'm too sleepy to keep track of the passive sorry..;p it's 4:30AM.
My oppinion? low elo nightmare right here. BUT i personally dont care if it stomp low tiers but you do at riot so you aproximatly gonna gut it at its current state. Now for D5+ I see this as like it atm with my build you rely on them to fuck up with 1: Poor tank engage aka free stacks 2: Pick = free passive with R 3: Get raped because you wont get in range and get oneshotted High risk build in this meta.
With the tank build its the same as the above but you can live a tiny bit longer lawl.Might be better to go tank if the numbers dont get shafted.
