Itemizing against Darius is Roadkill

I have so many insane questions and statements

Q. Why give someone with soo much damage a slow and a pull?

S. What was the point in removing his passive mov spd when his core early game item give him it the same way his passive did? item 3071 So we can be quiet about the insane buffs he got?

Q. Why give him a frick ton of DoT dmg (than no one can be sure of) while still giving him a true dmg ulti?

S. Darius turns terrible players into God Tier, thats gotta be broken.

Q. Why implement something so strong in leisure play when you know it will destroy Worlds?

S. Just a glance at the Darius buffs the first time I saw them I could tell they were too much.

Q. ^ Why couldn't Riot see that?

ME: I literally just came out of a game against a Darius as Shen like 12mins ago, and just when I thought pre-buffed Darius was bad (still could shut him down and win game tho) post-buff is cancer. It's soo hard to not allow him to get ahead, it's like lvl 6, abandon top lane and hope to destroy his team because he will literally chunk like 35% of your max health, and when you think our out of his pull range, *you get grabbed from the outer end of the blade, not inner, bad animation maybe?

Sincerely, ExecutorDill

Has been slain top lane countless times.

his damage is objectively lower unless he gets 5 stacks, which, considering you picked someone with a dash, should be easy to avoid in lane. especially when you can shield, at the very least, a small amount of his damage

second: armor and health. it's not that complex. he is entirely physical and true damage.

probably removed his passive MS gain to further solidify him as an immobile champion. i don't see why you're complaining that he has to spend 3000 gold to get it back?

his hook is easier to avoid? they removed its bug where he'd pull you if you were in it at time of cast. if he's landing his pull, then he played it well.

I understand they are trying to make him immobile to be a jugg, but he was buying black clever before the jugg changes.

Being slow is not compensation enough for for strong utility and engage. (Believe me, my #1 main is a tank) but unlike tanks who are balanced he gets a lot of dmg. He gets 1440 gold worth of AD from his passive at lvl 1 (thats 40 AD, goes up to 200) just hitting five stacks, and armor pen from his apprehend. If Shen had half the dmg potential of Darius in his kit, no, a quarter... I'd be the happyess man in the world. But unfortunately shen is not favoured among riot and they are finally getting their lazy bums up to do something good for him.

A pull on apprehend and a slow on crippling strike. That paired with an ult that can chunk up to 35% of a tanks health. (The only thing this monster is missing is %health dmg, perhaps on passive? Jk don't do that, I beg you)

And the worst. If you avoiding trading in lane with him he will just Decimate heal you as hitting you with the axe blade is not hard against a slow tank, even easier after he gets his core item Black Clever. I am unsure but the only champ I think can effectively restrain a strong Darius player is a strong Gnar player because of strong long range poke, and strong engage in mega form. But that's just me speculating. I shutdown Gnar all the time as Shen.

I know about the bug removal, I am talking about the actual animation vs its current range. Stop defending this monster, he will be nerfed anyway. I just want it halpen sooner.

Immobile bruiser does damage.

Oh man what a surprise!

btw, Darius is much weaker in lane now. Old Darius would kill you faster if New is beating you down so badly.

-_- Every darn champ in this game gets 325-355 mov spd at lvl fricken 1. And just like fighters, These so called "Juggernauts have was of closing the Gap" and ready mobility in thier builds that doesn't make them opt over something more desireable. Like tanks opting tankiness for a bit of damage. You sir, don't know squat and guess what.

DARIUS IS GETTING NERFED, NOT TO THE GROUND, BUT 6 FT UNDER!!!

I dont even play Darius lel

I also dont see any new nerfs coming for him and he is much easier to itemize against than pre-rework.

Your tears are tasty and so is you thinking he is mobile.

you can build armor, he has true dmg, you can build health, he still gets bonus ad on passive and if there is just 1 strong magic damage user on his team, you may as well sleep on fountain.
