The worst part about Darius gameplay is...
Not his issue with kite and poke. This is okay if people refuse to get dunked or simply killed by 30-200 bonus dmg outta nowhere. But seriously when people avoid you in the most situations you still need to do something useful for your team. He has 0 utility or engage potential and that's fair. Not with the damage and his durability. He needs something else.... Can we have some dmg on monsters and structures at least? He's so bad at split pushing due to low mobility AND low dmg to non-champions. This is why pressuring side lanes as Darius feels kinda worthless. For example %dmg bonus to non-champion on W would be great solution.
