Vladimir E collision, Darius.

I made a post saying that Vladimir shouldn't have body blocks on his E, as its not that high range, it's not a skillshot and u have to use a big chunk of your hp, to which everyone disagree'd, because everyone disagrees with everything on these forums just for sake of toxicity.

But has anyone ever considered that Darius, as a melee, not ranged, not mage, Has the power of vlads Q and E combine on his Q with no collision?

Darius's Q hits harder than vlads E, doesn't cost health, charges faster, infact heals him instead of damaging him and all the whilst not having collision, as a melee champion who is meant to be inferior to vlad at this.

So how is it unjust of me to suggest an ability that does 8% of your max HP true damage not have unit collision?

In early it might be true that Darius has a better ability but thats it and you have to take in consideration that Darius needs to hit his enemy with the outer part of his axe to get the heal and deal more damage. If you actually look at the abilities you'll see that vlad's E has a higher base damage then Darius Blade-area Q. Vlad also has a very strong ratio with a 100% AP and 6% max Health ratio. On all levels. Let's say Vlad has 500 AP, 2500 Health and a level 5 E. (Dunno if that's somewhat realistic, i dont really play Vlad >.>) That's 830 AoE (Vlad's E radius is larger then Darius' Q btw, 600 to 425) damage, if max charged, for 200 health, which also slows for 60% If my math skills don't fail me, Darius would need 479 AD to deal the same amount of damage, WITHOUT applying the slow. Furthermore Vlad has other means of healing himself, his Q and R, with which you can easily heal up the health cost, his R increasing the damage even further and his E can be released while pooling.

The collision was added to give the enemy some way to play around Vlad's damage by hiding behind minions or tanky teammates. If that would be removed Vlad could literally build the ton of AP, press R then E and W into the enemy and the teamfight would be won without the enemy team having a chance to do anything against it.

Vlad's E easily outperformes Darius' Q and has a great synergy with his kit. If they would remove the collision they also would have to take away a big portion of the damage and the nerf the slow.
