I have always wondered why reset champions exist?

I mean when it comes to Pyke it's perfectly fine, executing people and sharing gold it's what makes him as a champion, else he would be pretty trash, but why are Katarina and Darius allowed to snowball so hard?

They get 1-2 kills early, then they murder your whole team since they get resets.

Garen does less damage overall, does magic damage on ULT on 4/5 opponents and still doesn't have a reset. Darius nukes whole teams late game after getting 5 stacks, but it's ok, even if he is supposed to fall off.

Katarina needs her E to get out after an assassination, but why reset Q and W as well? Assassins are supposed to run out of cooldowns after a kill, not get another one 2 secs late.

Darius is one of the worst Toplaners right now, he is only a threat if he gets 5 stacks, but he and his build aren't tanky enough to provide him getting them, if he didn't got massivley fed in the early (which, in current toplane meta is hard since everything has a good chance of cucking him hard). Once you focus him he blows up like a Nasus.

I can say with 100% confidence that you have never played against a good Darius thanks to stat websites.

He want's to keep his opinion about Darius being still super strong, while every toplaner/person with game- or metaknowledge can tell him otherwise.

Darius is just below S+ tier in Plat+ and is still considered S tier in Plat+. He is recommended by pro analysts, solo queue coaches you pay for, and "experts" as one of the best top laners to play at nearly every rank. All of this despite being the 5th most picked Top Laner while having a 24% ban rate.

"One of the worst Top Laners" is a stupid statement.

He is one of the worst toplaners right now, if you pay someone who tells you to pick him when tanks aren't meta, you should search sm1 else.

You aren't putting forth any kind of argument. Pandemic is telling you all these facts about Darius and you aren't making any argument about why s/he's wrong

Darius isn’t much of a problem. Like the person above me said, he’s one of the worst top laners right now.

He has 0 mobility, so as long as you kite around him and don’t let him get 5 stacks he’s dead

Ok Darius gets blown up so fast that five stacks is practically impossible in teamfights and he desperately needs his q heal(which no experienced player will let him get). Just kite him and he'll be dead(unless you go at him one v one). Katarina is one of the most squishiest people in the game though. Any cc and she's dead. Most of her damage is in a ult that needs to channel so you still need skill on Kat even when you get a kill reset. Her burst is also subpar on any tank/bruiser and if she doesn't get a kill reset she's dead.
