buff the dunk?

plastermold·Apr 8, 2015·2 votes·626 views

I know Darius just got buffed, but maybe he should get another buff for his ulti. I was thinking maybe he should get another reward for getting a successful dunk off other than just the reset cooldown. Like if he successfully executes someone, he gets permanent attack damage, or maybe his nearby allies get a burst of movespeed. That way his lategame is better or his teamfighting is a lot better than what it is now. Overall it would be cool if his dunk gave some utlity to his team. What do you guys think? Suggest some ideas. Or is this idea imba and stupid?

Don't give Riot any more ideas. They don't understand balance as-is and the buff was literally the most unnecessary thing in the entire patch. Darius needs his ult nerfed as hard as possible. It needs to be shifted to physical damage or at the very least have a hard cap. All they did with this was give Darius access to over 5000 true damage because people whined about having to spend mana after killing someone from half health.

Assuming you mean 5000 true damage over the entire enemy team, not one person, Darius would need 214 bonus AD and 5 stacks on every enemy champion, along with all of them dying so he can get a reset.

For comparison though, assuming 1 Q and 4 autos Darius just did 1316 (autos) + 360-540(Q). Assuming a total of 3 bleed ticks (at 2,3, and 4 stacks) there is an additional 180 damage. This adds up to 1856-2036 damage PER TARGET needed at the minimum to get his ult to do 1k true damage to a champion. If you used W damage would be even higher.

So unless that Darius has at LEAST 3 damage items (two 80 AD items gives him only 160 bonus of the 214 needed) he's not doing that much. And if he does have 3 damage items, just focus him because he's an immobile melee who built squishy.
