Everything which is wrong with darius

  1. Passive - 200 AD (at late game) + instant stacks. I don't see any counter play to this other than "NOT to die to Darius" which is almost impossible. Instant stacks should be removed. Passive AD should be toned down.
  2. Heal - I would get rid of "max" heal and apply some static heal like 15% at all ranks. Now enemy will have more chances of killing him in group.
  3. 90% slows x2. Now this MIGHT have worked if BC didn't gave free movement speed and Dead Mans Plate didn't exist. But they do so he doesn't need 2 slows just to apply the stacks. I would get rid of one slow. Currently, if you get pulled, you are pretty much dead.
  4. Free ults for no cost. He already gets awarded for killing via his passive. No need to give him resource-less ults.

Let him "run out of mana" to produce a window of opportunity. Let him use mana pots to manage it.

This might sound harsh but current state of Darius is beyond broken. Fiora is another story.

Edit : Let the downvotes begin you Darius mains.

"3) 90% slows x2. Now this MIGHT have worked if BC didn't gave free movement speed and Dead Mans Plate didn't exist. But they do so he doesn't need 2 slows just to apply the stacks. I would get rid of one slow. Currently, if you get pulled, you are pretty much dead."

So can we stop pretending people start with completed items? Thanks.

Unless your interaction with certain items literally breaks any semblance of balance (which this doesn't) items shouldn't be factored into whats in your kit.

As for the mana cost on his reset ult, it feels REALLY terrible to get a good dunk going, and then just not be able to recast (KINDA the point of Darius' ult; his entire endgame fantasy is to just dunk your entire team if given he chance)

And no, I'm not downvoting you because I main Darius (I don't anyway; Malzahar Velkoz RekSai KogMaw Chogath Khazix ; Void4Lyfe), I'm downvoting you because this post is dumb.

Edit: And while I'm at it, the intended counterplay to his passive; is to either NOT let him reach 5 stacks, or if you can't do that (because he executes someone and just gets 5 stacks anyway) to kite him or disengage when he's empowered (and he certainly won't have the passive from Deadman's Plate at this point since he's likely been autoing for some time now; so you should have no problem kiting him)
