So the Darius buffs were a huge mistake

When are they going to be reverted because right now he is pick/ban in every elo and can still 1v5 your team even if he is afk for the first 10 mins.

I'm not seeing him in most my games. And the two times he was there I demolished him with Jayce Top. People just need to learn that trading with Darius is a bad plan buffs or no buffs.

wait what buffs are you talking about since the ones he got in the worlds patch do almost nothing in soloQ and were for worlds since the parts they buffed can get used more there.

The worlds buffs made him 100% pick bam in every game

How to deal with Darius ( a complete game plan that can be followed from champion select and you can actuvely use it from mid game and late game): Step 1: Pick Kaisa/Vayne or Trist/Twitch/Jinx/Ashe or Kalista Step 2: Get chosen adc pick Mortal Reminder Step and/or Blade of the ruined king Step 3: Pick mages like Brand/Malzahar/Lissandra/Cassiopia/Veigar Step 4 Get the chosen mage pick Voidstaff and Morelonominocn as 3rd and 4th irtem respectively Step 5 Get cc champion like Karma/Janna/Soraka/Udyr/Alistar/Maokai/Zyra/Velkoz/Lux/Gragas Step 6: Get the chosen cc holder get Thornail or void staff Step 7: Pick 1 adc or mage depending who has more damage or more complete build and pair him with cc champion who can land his cc. Step 8 : Behare of getting flanking so ward Step 9: Always run away if you have 3 stacks so darius wont get the 5th stack (to make sure a mistake wont happened at 4th stack and get his 5th on someone Step 10: Kill Darius Step 11: Repeat step 7,8,9,10 as many times it needs

How to deal Darius in laning phase ( cause someone has to deal with him in early so it wont get 3 lvs ahead from anyone ): Step 1: Pick defensive runes and maybe Time tonic warp form the inspiration tree and pick teleport Step 2: Pick dorans shield because you will get hit by darius and his bleeding hurts in early Step 3: Last hit minions i mean it last hit. Do not go and attack them and push you will over extend and get ganked Step 4: Last hit melee minions, ranged one let them die isnt worth to go as melee champion, try to get them if ranged but last hit -do not need to last hit everything if that means you gonna get grabbed by darius. Step 5: Try to make as many mouse clicks as possible and going back and forth. That way you can bait Darius Q or E and avoid it. If for some reason you dont have time to get out of darius outside cirlce then dash /walk to the inner one- it deals less damage, you dont get bleeding stack and darius dont heal. Note that when darius W is on he turns his axe horizontal and his arm is on T position and axe has a dark glow (red glow in his basic skin), if you see it then run away till he attacks minions or go off. Step 6: Let the minions crush to your tower, it helps you farm and its more safe in the early Step 7: You dont care to have more cs than Darius, you lane goal is to make him NOT GET AHEAD FROM YOUR TEAM. This means you can be behind in gold versus darius but your team will have about the same cs as him and possibly the same amount of items so they will handle him Step 8: If darius is outside your map vision ping it and warn mid and jungle for possible gank/counterjungle. You can now ward the bush and farm and push midway the lane and go back to buy items. Step 9: If darius is fighting in the river with your team try to follow and help to kill the enemies, if your allies are less than 40 % HP and enemies are above 50% then do bother just quickly push so the minions will do some damage to tower and darius lose exp Step 10: If all the above mentioned are followed but still your tower is about to get destroyed ( its less than 10% and Darius is there with minion wave and jungler/midlaner wont gank you then dont bother defendint the 1st tower. Step 11: After the first tower fall regardless which one you should push half way the lane at least and back off if you lack vision and you dont know enemies position and then go mid or bot to maybe put pressure/gank/push to the tower and get mid tower. If you have vision of jungler and Darius you can choose to hard push top lane and maybe get some damage to the tower but always check the map to not get caught.

CONCLUSIONS: If you gonna follow all these littel steps then i gurrantee you that you may enjoy playing against darius cause you have higer chance of winning the game. They is a reason why the quotte " Darius wins lane but loses the game" is still in effect even after his rework Also if for some reason your rest of your team dies alone in the map and darius get the kill and gets ahead in the early which leads in the state where you cant kill him, then dont despair at first. Darius players get arrogant and waste time and get really low and you can kill him and get the bounty gold. Later game after you get the correct build and maybe get a quick baron you can slowly push and make a come back and that will tilt the enemies so it lead them to make more mistakes to capitalize and win the game. IF with all that enemies dont make mistakes or your teamates do and die then sorry this is bad game , you lose and go to the next one-try to do something else for 10 min to de-tilt yourself.

PS. If you gonna get caught by flanking or getting hooked then dont flash right way. Wait to go inside circle in his Q , Wait to waste his E W combo on you then wait 0.5 sec after you are slowed then flash behind a wall or close to your team.
