What if Darius Q heal also scaled with an enemy's max health?

I think this might be the change he needs to viable in high elo without drastically changing his win rate in low elo.

He can't even get near anyone above diamond 3.

He can get near the enemy frontline, of course he'll be stunned long enough for the enemy adc to delete him in 2 seconds with their 2-3 item omegapowerspike.

wow, for once i agree with you

this change does not fixe darius's issue of being TOO delayed and TOO telegraphed which is what makes him unviable in high elo

"but that should be darius counterplay" a counterplay should exist, but not make a champion irrelevant darius's telegraphness is just too punishing

You always agree with me stfu.

But yehh the change you mentioned few days ago is starting to seem more and more needed about his Q having a much lower cast time if not instant.

I don't think that this would help Darius in high elo and I could be wrong but this is my opinion why it wouldn't help. In low elo players don't understand how to deal with a Darius that is stomping top lane or how to deal with Darius in general. So what happens in lower elo is just that he stomps the game and the team does not have the game knowledge to know how to react.

In higher elo however, teams know how to deal with a Darius top that might be ahead and they know that if many people go on a Darius and shut him down then that is one less problem to deal with. I feel like Darius does not need a scaling buff with the heal because that would just make him unstoppable on match ups vs. Maokai, Garen, etc. When the main purpose of Darius is to play it safe with a lead since his high damage burst is handicapped with him being melee. If you get caught or lose fights he should not just be able to heal all the damage he takes if hes caught out or chooses to fight a loosing fight against a tank.

That is just my opinion.
