Hey I just recently have been playing Darius, and noticed how needed he is. His q where he spins his axe if you get hit by the handle it reduces it by like 75%! I think they should make it more like 25%. Also his E the grab has such long cool down with such short range. I think that you guys need to buff Darius the reason he was needed was because noobs couldn't handle it
I literally just finished a Darius game where I got 2 quadras and a triple kill.
Darius' Q was recently nerfed so that the handle damage deals 35% rather than 50% damage. As a regular Darius player, i think this is a fair nerf as it encourages you to aim your Q and also allows counter play if your opponent outplays your Q properly ^^
The E range is 535, almost the range of a standard ranged champion (550), and greater than the range of short rangers (525-500) so i think this is also reasonable. I think Darius is in a balanced state right now
I think that the nerfs on his passive damage were mostly uncalled for. I don't really care about the handle, if you're not an idiot, you should be able to hit about 75-80% of your q's. The problem with darius is that the way to counter him is not engaging in longer trades or fights with him, and that is something that most people in lower elos are uncapable of. Also people tend to get hit by the outer circle of the q all the time, and if they do, they take more damage, get a hemorrhage stack, and heal darius at the same time. That's why he's such a monster in silver/gold, and that's why his banrate is significantly higher in those elos too.
I think the solution to this problem is reworking the w into something that is more than just a +1 hemorrhage stack ability, and giving back the +5% movespeed for every bleeding enemy. With these, he wouldn't be able to win every trade so easily just by slapping another stack on you and slowing you with his w, but he would still be able to completely destroy people in teamfights with his bonus mobility. (if you can land your q's on multiple people or you switch targets) This could also give a choice to darius players. (do you want multiple people to bleed and dance through teamfights mashing your q and bleeding them out or do you want to get 5 stacks on someone and then take the enemy out one by one?)
Well Darius is supposed to be a skill level of 2 and it sounds like he should at least be a 5 if you have to aim your axe for good dmg
