Why is Darius being pushed into the jungle?

Darius has absolutely no place in the Jungle. The reason he isn't played in the jungle isn't that he doesn't deal enough damage or doesn't have enough sustain, the problem is that his kit makes his ganks utterly awful with no mobility and practically no hard CC. Not to mention the fact that Darius' ultimate would constantly be used to take kills for himself instead of the laner. The buffs to current jungler's are absolute jokes. Rammus gets .31 base attack speed? Amumu gets a dash speed increase and a cooldown buff? Stop trying to force already viable champions into places they don't belong and just revert some of the jungle XP nerfs so that the role can actually be fun and diverse again.

As of right now, none of the champions who have received jungling buffs have received laning nerfs and none of their opponents have received unwarranted buffs. As such, none of them is being pushed into the jungle. They're just potentially being given the option to jungle.

As for why, I suspect it's to make the jungle role more popular, just as I have always hypothesized that the reason a bunch of mages were turned into supports was to make the support role more popular.
