If you could change one thing about Darius, what would it be and why?

Darius is a champ that has been rising in the boards again slowly due to CoC mainly and it being a tank meta, him being really good against them now if you do one change to darius, a champ of over a season with no changes ever since his Juggernaut rework 5.22, what would it be and why?

Personally, i'd make his bleed last a shorter duration. as it deals enough Damage imo.

Reduce the heal on Q if anything.

Get rid of Bleed and ignite combo PLZ

If it's because of CoC, then CoC is the issue, not Darius.

Q healing always seemed a bit ridiculous to me.

Just because his bleed and Black Cleaver interaction hurts my (almost-but-not-really) OCD, I'd either change the damage type of the bleed so that it doesn't apply Black Cleaver stacks or make the bleed last 1 second longer so that it can proc all of the Black Cleaver stacks.

This is not to say that Darius actually needs this.

Get rid of that healing... Its downright oppressive.

Make the area of his Q that will heal him have a bigger inner Circle.

It is fine to be in his kit but I want to actually be able to damage him without him healing it back in a trade. This is not a removal but jsut making it less reliable against other melee.

He should get the mana cost on his ult refunded if he kills someone with it. Darius is like a man with a box of Oreos. He wants to dunk as much as possible, but he can't do it if he has no milk.

At rank 3, his ultimate costs no mana.

At ranks 1 and 2, ultimates cast after the first but before the ultimate goes on cooldown cost no mana.

I don't think his ultimate's mana cost is an issue for him.

Well maybe it's the cost of his other abilities I'm thinking of. In my experience Darius rarely has enough mana to get more than 1 or 2 kills. He can usually finish off like 1 or 2 people and then he's oom.

Completely rework the Q, way too dependent on champion model size and mobility. It lets him counter champions not base on his kit vs theirs, but simply on how big their model is.

Keep the heal, keep the AoE, and make the damage just as reliable/unreliable, but gate it some other way.

Also, give W %maxhealth damage but reduce the base all around, Darius is mostly a tank counter, and shouldn't be able to nearly 100-0 squishies, although it is kinda their fault for getting that close to him. This would help against tanks even more, too.

Bleed passive gone; still stacks, still gives bonus AD at 5, but bleed passive gone.

Why?

Because he absolutely does not need it. He already has fairly insane base damages, on top of a massive AD steroid if someone stays close enough to stack it anyway.

Removing it makes him less of a lane-cheese champion, which could push him towards buffs without making him too insane in the future.

Yeah, he does need it. If Darius lost his bleed he would be able to be soloed in lane by any champion in the game top.

Reduce Q healing at earlier levels. So instead of a 5% heal level one make it scale up but top it off at say 7% level 18 as compensation?

Is his bleed not enough? True damage dunks? Thanks. One auto W and Wow would you look at that? 900 true damage! Good thing I can build agai- oh right. Tanks are melee and he's anti melee.

Q healing. I think he has enough in his kit, he doesn't need healing. I mained him before the re work and loved him. I just can't get into the guy now, and going against him can be a real pain with that healing.

I would leave him the same and fix that parts of the game that are actually broken. Or buff him because it would be funny.

I'd make his Apprehend graphic match the actual effect. Not something I see complained about ever because its short range anyway, but in terms of the graphic not actually hitting you but still working, its right up there with Thresh hook.
