Finicky Darius Changes

I know the point of the Darius changes was to make him scale better into late game, but the scaling is so high that the moment he gets a level on you it gets exponentially harder to cs and if he kills you once that's it he goes back and buys items (health and armour or health and mr, since he doesn't need any dmg items to out damage you) and when you get back to lane you can't do a thing. I don't mind the way he works although I don't agree with it, but I believe he shouldn't scale so fast. He should be a tank that applies pressure in the mid and late game during team fights, and to get there he should have to play a drawn out lane phase where he does enough dmg to keep you at bay but also sustains enough to stay in lane. This way he won't be under-powered and whoever he lanes against will have a chance to cs and buy items before it comes time to fight.

P.S. This is all just my opinion. Hopefully a dev will see this thread and look into it, but in the meantime I've made a poll to see how common of an occurrence this has been among players. Feel free to answer it. Your input is helpful and welcomed.

It is possible to come back on your own if he makes terrible mistake, like turret dive you. His lane is not as strong as it used to be, but still stronger than some other tops, like wukong or vladimir. Trick playing agains him is backing off as soon as he gets 3 stacks of hemorphage on you. At 5 stacks you just can'r fight him. Luckly, people still aren't very comfortable with him, so currently he isn't that strong. But I tell ya, between people learning how to play him, and buffs he gets next patch, he'll be strong

I think people who actually know how to play Darius are going to be much bigger problems then someone who knows how to play Garen with the hotfix buffs. Expecting lots of whining about Darius next week.

Anyway the times I've played him when I fell behind I needed some Jungler support. I don't think comebacks are all too likely unless the Darius makes a mistake.
