Anyone else hate playing against Darius

I think he's strong but the fact that he zones me off the wave harder than a ranged champion is just crazy. At this point I perma ban him just because dealing with Darius is a cancerous push and pull of him hoping you'll fuck up and approach the wave so he can take most of your health in a "trade". That pull is ridiculously long its as long as the range of many ADCs.

Also the people playing this champion are usually so toxic thinking they "outplayed" me or something by just constsntly slowing me and applying bleeds. He only just recently dropped from having the highest pick rate in top lane, to being the second highest (not by much). Yet he still maintains the high top lane ban rate by far.

With this Trinity force build its impossible to kite him as melee unless you're Camille because of the movement speed from triforce, phage speed and his really long range pull that also slows you than his other slow (which is also an auto attack reset) thats on a low cooldown

"Winrate automatacially means a champion is balanced." Might sound crazy but maybe that winrate has to do with his high pick rate

I'm completely aware that his win rate has to do with his high pick rate.

I just wanted to point out that people are literally losing more games when they pick him than they are winning.

Darius is just a pain in the ass in general to fight, regardless of how weak or strong he is, to be honest.

If you want to escape him, I'd suggest Kled. Your E renders you nearly impossible to fight, and your passive makes you very hard to kill with his ult.

My major concern with Darius is even if your an item ahead he can still potentially kill you no problem because of the 5 passive stacks plus ult deletes you. And if your playing a melee champion, him getting 5 stacks in a fight is impossible to avoid. So there is this weird scenario where I may be 3/0 to him 0/3 in lane and I still get zoned off minions because the kill pressure from his passive is insane.

Basically what I'm saying is his ability to come back from being screwed is too good and easy to pull off.

Well it depends on what champs you play and judging by your champion pool (Garen,Teemo,Yorick) all your top champions counter Darius so ofc you'll have an easier time against him than most people

He is easy to kite in teamfights. Gets destroyed far too easily.

on the account im playing this season I pretty much exclusively play Nocturne top at Plat+, and I don't have issues with Darius at all unless im getting hard camped by a jungler that has easy access to me.

Apprehend is shorter than almost every ranged AA in the game, he's just walking forward to pull you during the animation since you're not baiting it correctly.
