"Darius is not reasonable" Is the boards seriously that stupid to upvote such a thread?

"He counters every melee champion in the game"

hahahahaha you clearly have not played darius into a half decent riven or Jax. This shit ought to get every legitimate darius player annoyed. Darius has NEVER countered every single melee champion since his juggernaut rework. The only champions he can reliably counter as a class are immobile tanks, and even then the early game noxian might nerfs did quite the job of preventing him from bullying them.

"He has so much slows"

Yes, it's called sticking power, and there's nothing wrong with that because in order to stick he has to actually get to people in the first place anyway, so his juggernaut weakness is still very much intact. Also, his W slow doesnt do shit against mobility spells, and his apprehend is quite dodgeable now that it was modernized to apply once the animation time completed.

"He's so tanky"

He has no mobility, he's a damage carry that has to be in the middle of a teamfight, what do you expect?

"Well he's good right now so who are you to say I'm wrong?"

He's not BAD per se, but he ain't good.

He has a sub 50% win rate for the first time in months, and that has been accompanied by a steady decline in BOTH play rate and win rate. That means that even as darius players shrink and those left are the more experienced and willing to stay darius mains still play him, they still are struggling more than before to make darius work.

This is exactly why the upper elo tiers despise lower elo players. I used to believe in the whole "well game balance has nothing to do with how good you are, it's just game knowledge" To an extent that's true, but I think there's something to be had about being in high elo. They have a better perspective on balance most of the time than low elo players, and it's evidenced by the amount of shitposting and complaining that low elo players do about things that aren't even an issue anymore.

EDIT

I don't ever remember referring to myself as high elo. Sure my main is high platinum which riot considers high elo, but I personally don't really consider high elo. But I notice that with darius in particular, this is almost strictly higher vs lower elo. Higher elo people almost never complain about darius, and lower elo people just can't shut up about him and would rather him at a 10% win rate if they had their way, and it's LUDICROUS that riot actually gives them the light of day.
