Opinions on Darius?

Since it's been pretty much a whole season since Darius has been last touched (5.21 correct if wrong) what are your opinions on him at the moment? Kinda curious as a Darius main myself he seems good but then again I don't know much about league yet. Any opinions appreciated!

Does way too much damage with way too much tank. Needs to be one or the other. Or at least give us some items to sorta stop his damage in lane...

On the strong side for sure

Might need small nerfs but that depends where season goes, I doubt he will need nerfs

buff him

He hits too hard for how tanky he is. I know that's the whole point of Darius, but damn he hurts so much.

Maybe shitters who kept maxing W second are finally converting to the proper E max second thinking they want more CoC

Only problem Darius has ever really had is that he's a noob stomper, but his Q being designed the way it is offers a lot of interaction between players, which is good.

I think Darius is solid early and mid game, but can get outclassed late game, which is okay imo. Since he procs CotC so reliably, he can get a nice shield which has enhanced him at all stages of the game, especially late since it scales really well, and since that's the area where Darius can struggle, you have a winning scenario.

If he needs to be buffed, buff passive damage.

If he needs to be nerfed, raise mana cost on Q.

I don't feel like he needs a lot of work, but I have my on quips about Q's power budget.

The only broken parts of darius are his Q heals and ultimate.

If you can actually hit your Q at the right position, and stack so your ult does the damage it's supposed to otherwise it does practically nothing against someone with armor.

People tend to forget that when bringing him up as "OP"

The only stupid part of him (not broken, because this is completely avoidable and is a cheese tactic) is if you take W ignite level 1 and level 1 someone dumb enough to try to level 1 first blood that isn't Fiora

I play top a lot and I hate Darius. He isn't op or broken he's just annoying af to play against. The only top laner that can duel with him early is Pantheon and Trundle when he hits 6 and even then Darius can still win. The main thing I hate about him is the heal on his Q. So irritating to deal with. I think he's in an ok spot right now I really hope they don't buff him because when he is meta it is very annoying.

He's alright. He's really strong early on but if you can kite or have range, you can shut him down

WhaiiSoSerious11/30/2016, 2:49:04 PM1 votes

Broken as always.

xxxDogmanxxx11/30/2016, 2:50:04 PM1 votes

I think he's pretty balanced, maybe a little on the stronger side. Kiting him is relatively easy, so he deserves his high damage. Maybe a slight cooldown nerf on him wouldn't be unwarranted.

Probably not broken but I still HATE playing against a Darius. His E is probably the biggest offender, a juggernaut is supposed to have no way to get to his target and no hard CC in exchange for huge damage and tankiness, but Darius can just insta pull all your team to him.

Please don't max W second.

Unless you're playing Darius against me.

Drehirth11/29/2016, 8:36:38 PM1 votes

I think he's very strong atm, but that may be mostly due to tanks being so strong (who are made to order for him).

decksays11/29/2016, 8:37:55 PM1 votes

I think he's alright. Maybe a little nerf to tankiness. He is extremely easy to kite though. He's a lower teir freelo. Can't say much about upper teir

Is performing extremely well all of a sudden, and I'm not really sure why. Maybe because Nasus is popular?

He's arguably a very safe pick in both solo queue and amateur competitive. I doubt he'll see play in professional play, since he can be countered quite easily. If you're playing top lane, he's definitely worth putting a couple hundred games into.
