Darius benefits from Triforce more than from BC
In my opinion it shows problems with champion concept. First of all let's see what this item gives him:
- Darius is being able to deal huge amount of damage before he actually achieve his "Noxian Might".
- It compensates his low mobility better than BC.
- Allows him to stack sweet Noxian Might state faster than ever.
But Triforce was here for a while and we didn't see Darius going for it. That's right. There are two reasons why it happened:
- Conqueror allows him to ignore missing armor penetration from BC because difference became pretty insignificant.
- Tank class doesn't look so lively.
No. Don't get me wrong I'm totally ok with how he performs in this meta. But IF there will be something done with TF AND Conqueror we'll see this champion in garbage again like it was in pre season when he coundn't even kill tanks and he had no burst against squshies if they happened to appear in that meta.
Right now Darius isn't really about achieving five stacks game or even about avoiding enemy kite. He is really about blatant statchecking other players until they die or pushing side lanes like some divers do. (He doesn't even have tool for destroying turrets but Sheen proc open this option)
I really suggest to reconsider his passive game to make it more strategically valuable for example:
- Allow him to stack passive on Nashor/Drake/Crab forcing people to give up on objectives or take dangerous fight
- Add inner tool for destroying turrets like percentage damage proc from passive's bonus AD
- Remove the very possibility to stack up bonus attack speed but make this mini-game of achieving stacks more interesting (Fake Q swing for baiting opponents dash in/out, new possibility to hold charged Q for a while to maximize damage and passive stacks gain, improved W that applies 0 stacks but multiplies current stacks twice)
in his current state...
