Even in outdated cleaver builds, crippling strike is dealing near identical damage to decimate

The undodgeable point and click filler spell is performing on par with the unique skillshot meant to be darius's iconic basic ability, and what was intended to be his undoubtedly hardest hitting and most important basic ability.

In tri force builds of course crippling strike takes over as the hardest hitting spell in darius's kit 90% of the time.

So much AD ratio pumped into this ability.

AFTER THE JUGGERNAUT UPDATE WHEN DARIUS WAS CONSIDERED BROKEN CRIPPLING STRIKE USED TO BE A FLAT 40% TOTAL AD INCREASE AT ALL RANKS.

It now scales up to fucking 70% total ad as added bonus damage.

You do realize that crippling strike still isn't even equal to one critical strike and that the damage is just a little bonus. The only point of his W is an AA reset for bloodstacks and to apply that incredibly short and low range single target slow

"Critical strike"

Ignored.

And yes, I understand W is nothing more than an auto reset, hence why I'm perplexed as to why it's been the target of such massive powercreeping when its a filler spell (I used that term in the OP btw). Logically, it would have made more sense to buff decimate if anything, because that's darius's main test of skill and most iconic basic ability.
