Not sure if anyone else has this but when i vs tanks in league, its always like me and my team can not kill them. IE when vsing Darius i can never kill him, NEVER! But when i play Darius its like i'm the adc getting one shot. Why is this. I building what i see on most tanks, AR MR and HP, but its never enough. Any tips?

Hi, I looked up your profile just to see what You can work on. (FYI IM only G5 and this is my first season) If you are an ad and are not doing damage to Darius, you either don't have enough arpen or he just has more gold than you, allowing him to buy randuins (crit reduction) or stack tank stats.

I saw one of your Darius builds and you aren't getting cleaver, which is essential on many juggernauts.

No offense, but Your runes are bad. A full ad or so page is why you get 1shot. I recommend using me glyphs and armor seals on both pages.

TLDR: You need to itemize better, and you are losing since your opponents can itemize to a higher extent. In bronze, people like to shine and do damage, (talkin bout runes) but most of the time defensive is more important.

Well firstly, Darius isn't a "tank". He's a Juggernaut. A highly immobile champion, that if gets in range of you, will destroy you. Other examples are Illaoi Garen(?)Nasus Yorick

A "tank" is someone like Nautilus Amumu Zac Sejuani. Champions that have a lot of cc, and are very good at engaging for their team and soaking up tons of damage.

You deal with a juggernaut by not fighting them directly, like don't try and fight Darius if you're playing MonkeyKing, unless you're like extremely fed and he's way behind. They excel in melee combat. Their weakness is being kited by someone like Vayne Ezreal Caitlyn or Jinx or most adc's in general. And some mages like Orianna AurelionSol Cassiopeia or Ahri. As long as they build some sort of penetrationitem 3135, this goes for adc's as well item 3035.

As for playing someone like Darius, go by this as well. Don't fight what counters you. Stick to melee combat that you excel in. If you really have to face the adc, lure them into the jungle where things are more CQB. You'll have a better chance in there.

Can't afford good runes
