So you created this system to make picks more flexible. To make people adapt their choice depending on enemy's pick. I'm looking at pre-season changes and ask myself: How am I going to negate all in burst as at lvl 6-11 if you make Aftershock look that pathetic? (From 70 + 50% bonus armor/resist to 35 + 80%). Seriously just how? You just push me to the only choice - Conqueror. I don't think you nerfed Aftershock that way to punish players for using it as counter of straightforward all ins but to make squishy players think twice before they take it. Reconsider please. This is just wrong.

Second. removal was such overkill. May be it doesnt include much interactions with other champions but you make weaker as splitpushers (and this is only way they can be useful for their team considering how fd up their toolkits are) meanwhile you add new item for champions like (huge AS boost one while they're far away from team). So what kind of interaction is that!? Me getting beaten by Jax because he refuse to come with his team? And why can't I have some Pointrunner item passive then? Logic? Reasoning?

Who the hell takes Aftershock as Darius? Phase is better, especially against a Riven, with all of her dashes. And you don't negate her burst (even though she's not a burst champion), you counter it with skill and good timing. Even when I play against Rivens who are better than me, I can still consistently counter their last q with e. Then you stick to them and kill them. You don't need Aftershock or Raptor's Clock to succeed as Darius.

you cant kill riven as darius except if she waste spell on minions, and you don't see that in high elo She can oneshot you with ignite and dodge your E easily, so what the hell are you talking about phase rush lmao. You take aftershock to survive and stay in your lane not to play against her, you cant play against her in a normal situation.

"You don't need Aftershock or Raptor's Clock to succeed as Darius." How can you say this after A FULL YEAR of RANGED AGAINST MELEE TOP ?

Raptor's clock removed is a huge loss for darius and his global winrate will be destroyed, simple.

You ain't a darius player, don't act like one.
