Darius really needs some improvement

I know I know he was strong back in 2015 juggernaut patch. People got serious mental trauma during this period so they still hate everything related to this champion.

But holy crap I can't remember times of him being as worthless as he is now. Years ago Morello figured out in Darius thread how people see him. I believe that was rework new course. "Extreme mistake punisher which has to make some effort to punish". I am not really happy with this state but ok. I always wanted him to be more of initiative type than "react to someone being off position and get him". Ok with sorrow I accepted this in my head. Lets go full punish mode.

So what do we have now? No. Mobility isn't the biggest issue. Other Darius players complain about mobility creep. But I dont see it as a problem. People avoid you stacking passive. This is a fair concept. But when you MANAGE to get the passive enemies just blow you up in mere seconds. I just cannot believe to the damage and durability (shields heals) output coming from everyone. I repeat this is ok if they run kite and poke. But when they facetank your noxian might stuff and still outdamage you this is just wrong.

Later game noxian might state isnt rewarding anymore. It needs something. No, not even extra numbers. This wont change anything actually. Old Q width was way too powerful in lane and midgame skirmishes. I believe its time to bring it back in current environment. Its 220 now and used to be 270. How about a little scale per level on its width? 230 first level - 270 5th level. But wait before you start downvoting and complaining. Increased Q width unlocks ONLY DURING NOXIAN MIGHT state.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts: Keep Darius in the gutter forever, may 1000 teemo's feast upon his soul.

My actual thoughts: With the current shield / lifesteal meta he has no place right now, the problem is not the champion, it is the current meta. He does his job as a melee lane bully very well in lane, but in mid/late game team fights he struggles to do much unless he got fed in lane. This is mostly due to (again) the current meta, not the champ himself.

Happens every season, champion X that was god tier last season is now trash tier because X item got reworked or whatever.

But the meta will never change for him its a fact. They reworked juggernauts before they released all those new adcs apcs assassins. So Juggers were basically rolling old meta champions so easily. Rito managed to nerf juggernauts even before they reworked the rest classes. The dmg output will never change probably it will be only worse by the time. Or do you really believe that they will finally nerf adcs damage, finally nerf heals and shields? Pf-f not in your life. They will probably add new way to fight it but trust me this wont include anything for juggernauts. Because they are already outdated in this game balance.
