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
and full tank build
, 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". . . .

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
(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
(early game nerf). The introduction of this item (I do not dare speak its name)
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
, 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.
