Why does Darius get so many free stats?
It's not like he has trouble dumpstering most melee top laners anyway?
Why does Darius get 230 free AD at 5 bleed stacks? Why does he get 30% free armor pen?
Remove his armor pen passive and lower his bleed damage, conqueror was enough of a buff he's doing true damage AND penetrating armor. I think being a 4k health high resistances bruiser with bleed damage, 30% armor pen doing true damage on top of that is overloaded. The icing on the cake is thst he has a resetting true damage nuke for an R and can transfer bleed stacks to a squishy by flash Wing them than clicking R for an insta kill
He's somehow the most picked top laner while also having the highest ban rate so let the downvotes rain.
