what's the point of champions like darius?

Or tryndamere, or any other bruiser that's supposed to lane without ranged skills? If you have anything stronger like a yorrick or something that can poke, and your jungler doesn't gank, you have nothing to do all laning phase. And if you get ganked, or the ennemy's champ is ranged, you lose your turrets whatever you do. Like what's the point of a game like that really

League is... changed. A lot. In many ways for the worse. The point of many of the powerhouse champions (Garen, Yi, Tryndamere...) was originally to help newer players get accustomed to the game. They were meant to be easy to get pretty good with and make safe picks later on. The problem is, changes to the core game that haven't been counterbalanced by adjustments to these champions have made them extremely powerful now.

If you're having trouble top, I suggest in most cases rushing Executioner's Calling. Everyone will tell you to ignore this item and will call me a heretic for suggesting it, but try it in five games and see if it doesn't help. A lot of top lane powerhouses subsist on healing, be it through lifesteal or ability healing, and Executioner's Calling cuts that down something fierce.

(Also for Darius... A big important note. Unless you have a reliable dash/mini-flash, if Darius pulls you, the worst thing you can do is try to run. Stick to him like glue so his AOE doesn't hit you at the edge, thus healing him and doing more damage to you. Stay there for about two seconds, attacking up close, THEN pull back. Because he's gonna slow you anyway and you're not gonna get away without taking a good bit of damage. Might as well dish it back.)

Imagine complaining about Tryndamere or Darius in 9.7

They are meant to keep tanks in check. But tanks are god awful right now, so they don’t really have a place.

this might be outdated because of how many patches riot keeps pumping out

ur silver 4 lv 51 dude

i main darius and no way in hell is he like anything you described him to be let alone any of the bruisers are the way you described him to be. darius easily wins most lanes ranged included because of his crazy strong engage. he can also easily 2v1 if he isnt played by a bot. like i can barely play him ranked anymore because he keeps getting banned non stop
