Better Buff Darius, lolol

The word "poop" had replaced a certain word to keep this forum language-filter-friendly.

Rito buffed Darius's damage because he "lost bonus attack damage from both runes and Fervor of Battle" when Rito "combined" the runes and masteries together. In case you haven't notice, every other champion lost their bonus damage due to the deletion of the old runes and masteries as well.

But to be fair, Rito justified the buff because his passive scales on bonus damage. That may be true, but what about every other champion that scales on bonus damage? Where are their buffs? Most notably, the champions that scale on Ability Power.

For example: Singed. When I play Singed in ranked, I walk up to lane with 0 Ability Power points unlike from before when I had 21 AP from runes. His Q does almost no damage, I swear I thought I was healing the enemy Shen when I poison him-- and to compare, Shen's Q damage had been nerfed by 10 damage, but he still do a poop ton more damage compared to Singed.


Have you seen updated Darius? I sure have. All he needs is a Black Cleaver item 3071 and full tank build item 3075 item 3065 item 3742 , and he can take on 5 people without having any dents on his health bar. You can't run from him because of his superior movement speed and super-slowing CC abilities, and you can't fight him because he hurts and can't die with his constant Q healing. Even if you manage to escape with say 5-10% health, his buffed penetrating bleed passive will get to you and you will die anyway.

I'd say buff everyone else who rely on the old rune and mastery system, not just "better buff Darius". . . .


additional reads:

You might not notice League updates have been pooping on champions like Aurelion Sol and Singed for the longest time. For this example, I'm going to use Singed again. Within just this season's patch, Singed's base armor had been reduced by almost 10 points. His base health along with health growth stat had also been reduced. His first 2-tier ult cooldowns had been increased. Typical Rito after reworking champions (Singed's passive) or releasing new champions, always nerfing after. In summary, Singed is super weak when trading at level 1.

But what about his later game, his item build? Item changes to Singed's most viable items like Rylai's Crystal Scepter item 3116 (25% nerf on health and ability power, and reduced unique slows and its slow effect) (I don't even buy it anymore unless I'm someone like Malzahar) and Rod of Ages item 3027 (early game nerf). The introduction of this item (I do not dare speak its name) item 3194 greatly counters Singed, Singed's viability had been greatly decreased along with the new Runes system. This paragraph doesn't just apply to Singed, it applies to similar pooped-on champions like Aerelion Sol as well.

By buying literally only 1 Magic Resist item against him item 3065 , Singed can't hurt you. In experience, when Singed build AP, the only person he can damage are the super squishies like the ADCs, but even they have lifesteal and unique escapes to counter him.

Loosing attack speed quints also hurt him, since his base attack speed and its growth is one of the worst in the game.

No fervor and no attack speed ment that Darius kill pressure in lane was basically non existent, since he relies on getting 5 stacks asap, and it became that much harder without attack speed.Once the grasp change happens on next patch he should be in a soild spot though.

Darius had a significant win rate drop with the new runes. Singed did not. Stop making false comparisons.

Have you seen Singed? I sure have. All he needs is a Liandry's Torment item 3151 and full tank build item 3075 item 3065 item 3742 , and he can take on 5 people without having any dents on his health bar. You can't run from him because of his superior movement speed and flip, and you can't fight him because he can damage you while running away and can't die. Even if you manage to escape with say 5-10% health, his poison will continue to hurt you and slow from his Rylai's.

See, I too can make hyperbolic and inaccurate statements
