So Rito Balance Team says fk that, and gave us this instead:
Decimate (Q) Base Damage increased to 40/70/100/130/160 from 20/40/60/80/100 Missing heal increased to 15% from 10% per champion hit (max still 30%)

It's like a customer in a restaurant complaining that the soup is too cold, so they ordered him a Coca-cola.
I agree completely. Also that inability to cast summoners or anything during the q for the damage you get in return is underwhelming. I feel like every time I q as Darius I am not getting something that is worth it since I leave my self open for soo long when im q'ing. Darius q changed his play style too much, its not even hard to land with the delay, heck, in many cases It's easier to land now. The problem is that his q made him soo sluggish which really goes against his usual play style, it makes no sense. Some times I feel activating q is counterproductive compared to autoing unless I want to apply 5 stacks of bleed to multiple enemies when blood rage procs. Bleed, by the way, deals insignificant damage if the enemy has armor, forcing you to build black cleaver which not every one wants to do. I am overall unhappy with Darius's rework. The q buff wont be enough since his damage will still be too low. You rarely proc blood rage, the chances of you activating blood rage and making some use of it is soo low since u are probably half health or lower (guessing u went tanky) after it activates, then you pretty much die soon after. Your damage is none-existent unless you proc a passive that rarely comes into play. This is not a healthy champion at all. You made something that works on special situations which shouldn't be the aim of Darius.
bump, Darius is by no means a weak champion after this update. However I'm also dissatisfied with his new Q and other changes they made to his speed.
Kinda worse how Riot says they want to keep a champion's identity and how they compared Sion and Darius saying something along the lines of Darius is the type to slice you quickly and leave you bleed vs Sion's way of crushing you and everything around you. Darius is in no way a swift Noxian warrior anymore which really sucks seeing how his old playstyle reflected that and the new one only retains his strength.
