Can we rework Darius already?

he's shit in high elo cuz hes a free gank and can't team fight. if you get hooked by darius you die lol you can't just walk away

Although he is mostly garbage tier in higher elo and against good players who know how to exploit his weaknesses. He's a mistake abuser, not a mistake creator. Aka, the agency in the fight usually lies in the enemy if both players are of similar skill, because almost everything in darius's kit is telegraphed and can be played around by literally any champ. Even Shen can beat Darius by playing careful, and even though he doesn't usually beat Darius, champs like him go on to be far more useful later on. In all honesty, I just want darius to apply a stacking damage debuff to enemies that doubles upon five stacks. This would add pseudo survivability and utility to the team, without increasing his damage output. Could be something like 2% damage reduction per stack, doubling up to 20% at 5 stacks, with a 1.5 second delay (to give enemies a chance to get some more damage in before it takes effect). This would make Darius truly king of extended trades (which he should be given his lack of mobility and lowish utility/objective control). If he proved too strong, trim back his passive damage a little or his E armor pen

That's a relativist non-argument. The fact that garen needs to be made better or is deficient doesn't mean that Darius is acceptable. Right now Darius is barely viable, as he sucks in higher elo, and usually maintains about a 49% winrate right now in most elos. Not horrible, but not good either. The truth is that there is becoming so much damage, mobility, and cc in the game, that without some major changes to his kit, or mobility added, he will become completely obsolete soon, has he can easily become cc locked, or kited, or insta deleted by insane dps or champs with SoS (see Jax, Yi, or tryn), and that most comps can counter Darius with decent play around his weaknesses to the point that he becomes nothing but a slow moving super minion.

lane frustration and refusal to adjust to certain champions doesn't make them op, but makes you a bad player. Look up his current stats, he's incredibly weak right now, and if you try playing him for a few games, you'll find yourself struggling due to the meta shifting to burst divers.

...Right now, he sits at about a 48.5% winrate. With no mobility and low attack speed, Darius has to blow his entire combo for full damage, and even his combo can be avoided by respecting his space. He's a lane bully, and it's understandable why someone might be frustrated with him. However, he by no means is "overpowered". Right now, Darius is actually the weakest he's been, with the meta being shifted to high mobility dps divers. This causes Darius to get bursted down before his sustain combo can begin. If anything, I believe his base tank stats need to be strengthened, to adjust for the poke darius has to suffer.

The fact that you call him "OP" tells me a lot about your playstyle.

Camille gets a shield, amazing mobikity, and high damage, don't compare her ability to tank damage with Darius. Fiora is also very mobile, but to the contrary, whereas Darius can be focused and destroyed in a literal one or two second time span, fiora can literally block all the damage and cc in the world for the duration of her party, and even return cc with it. Not to mention she is one of the best duelists in game, shreds tanks, adcs, juggernauts, etc in a matter of 2-3 secs at full build, and is an excellent split pusher.
